The Test Management Forum is a one-day conference on software testing that takes place in London. This afternoon event proposes several talks that explore all the aspect of software testing and software quality from Agile approaches to DevOps.
In the days of DevOps supported by approaches like continuous deployment, the concepts of continuous testing and test automation are essential to support the speed needed for delivering quickly solutions (and hopefully value) to the users. Some of the big questions in the software testing community are “How much should we automate our tests?” and “What tests should we run?”. The technique of Test Impact Analysis helps to answer to this question.
Mobly is an open-source, Google-developed, Python-based framework to perform software testing on products that require interactions among multiple devices, like social apps; or tests that require controlling test environment, like WiFi connection. Mobly can support many different types of devices and equipment, and it’s easy to plug your own device or custom equipment/service into Mobly.
Even if Windows might be the most used operating system in software development organizations, it doesn’t mean that you cannot use a computer working with Mac OS to perform functional testing. This article provides a list of open source functional testing tools that work on Mac OS.
Selenium is a popular open source software testing framework that can be used to automated tests for web applications. Elemental Selenium is a free, once-weekly e-mail newsletter created by Dave Haeffner on how to improve your understanding and your usage of the Selenium tool. All the previous Selenium tips are also freely available on the web site.
doctest is a fully open source light and feature-rich C++98 / C++11 single-header testing framework for unit tests and TDD. It is inspired by the unittest {} functionality of the D programming language and Python’s docstrings. Tests can be considered a form of documentation and should be able to reside near the production code which they test. This is not possible (or at least practical) with any other testing framework for C++.
xUnit test runners are one of the basic capabilities of rapid iterative development practices such as Continuous Integration and Test Driven Development. This presentation explores how test runners are generally implemented in modern programming languages like PHP, JavaScript and Ruby.
