Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code with a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests. Testem is test runner that makes Javascript unit testing easier. In this blog post, Joe Zimmerman provides a step by step approach to set up a Jasmine unit testing environment with Testem.
Many organizations are adopting Agile development practices and the Scrum framework for project management. With a software testing perspective, one of the main challenges of this approach is to complete all software testing activities during iterations that could last only one to two weeks. In this article, Clemens Reijnen provides five tips for getting software testing done in a Scrum sprint.
It is rather rare to have access to the software testing techniques used by a large project to maintain the quality of its code base. In this blog post, Jan Wloka, a member of the team behind IBM’s Rational Team Concert, presents the different techniques and tools used to control software evolution and to improve the quality of their code base.
This presentation discusses problems and solutions that were made in solving problems such as size (about 100 people in total, more than 5 years long), multi-location (Vilnius, China, US), remote PO (teams in Eastern Europe, PO in US), ~550 000 LOC’s, multiple customers. It will present techniques used to maintain the project quality in shape: Continuous Integration, Code Review, Static Code Quality.
This article by Benjamin Day recommends to use custom counters when you perform load testing. It discusses how Visual Studio 2012 load-testing features call help you solve performance problems. The article describes how to set up Visual Studio to perform load testing, particularly the ability to capture Windows Performance Monitor Counters (PerfMon Counters).
This is not a session about how or why to practice Test-Driven Development (TDD). Based upon research conducted during the first quart of 2012, I will outline the most common objections to TDD and describe in detail, with examples where appropriate, how to refute, avoid or mitigate each of them. The coverage will acknowledge that there are risks inherent to all techniques and will not promote the idea that TDD is some kind of silver bullet.
Marcus Martina explains in this blog post how to integrate FitNesse tests into the Jenkins continuous integration system. FitNesse is an open source testing framework that aims to implement integration testing in a collaborative way. It is easy to integrate FitNesse tests automatically with Maven and Jenkins. The post provides the code necessary to do this integration. It also identifies the different Maven plugins that are necessary to achieve this goal and recommends to trigger the execution of the integration tests in an individual build step.
