Tutorials and resources on how to apply test automation in software testing
This tutorial presents how to do Test-Driven Development (TDD) for a Spring Boot application and how some of the latest Spring Boot annotations and utilities make that easy. Ever wonder how to test a hard problem like caching or write an integration test without making an external API call? Or come across a situation where testing something was so hard that it never got tested?
Page-Object pattern is very commonly used during software testing when you use test automation frameworks. However, as the scale of the framework grows, there is a limitation on how much reusability really happens. It can inherently become very difficult to separate the test intent from the business domain. This presentation discusses the issues with the Page-Object pattern and the solution that you can implement – Business Layer – Page – Object pattern, to help your code staying DRY.
It is not easy to write good automated tests as it involves to create and maintain a stable testing environment and configure the right tools. In this free less extracted from his “Test With Spring” course, Petri Kainulainen explains how to run integration tests With Maven, Spock edition.
Testcontainers is an open source Java 8 library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.
DevOps is based on continuous delivery and anything that breaks the continuity is a bottleneck. While Agile and DevOps have become common terms in Development and Testing organizations, manual build and deployment processes are still causing problems along with integration and testing.
The management of test environments is an area mostly neglected in software development projects. In this article, Niall Crawford discusses the basic requirements of test environment management and explains the benefits this activity provides.
The evolution of software from a simple application running in an isolated system to a multi-node solution in a network and now to geographically distributed cloud solution with hundreds or thousands of nodes, has brought about its own challenges in terms of testing. Testing strategies which works well in one model is not really applicable to others. While many of the tests for a cloud hosted solution can be done by replicating a subset of the actual production environment, some test to be effective need a production like environment.
