Software tests never run fast enough. To improve this performance, this article presents a process called DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). It shows how to apply this approach with Cucumber, an open source Behavior Driven Development tool. Cucumber lets you describe how software should behave in plain text. The text is written in a business-readable domain-specific language and serves as requirements documentation and source of automated acceptance tests.
The increased complexity of browser-executed code has increased the need to write unit test cases for JavaScript code. This article describes some of the most common tools for unit testing JavaScript: QUnit, YUI Test and JSTestDriver. The learning curve can be steep if you do not typically write tests for client-side scripting and testing the user interface could require adjustments in your thought process. This article provides code examples that will walk you through sample test cases.
Certification is now a mainstream feature of software tester careers. Even if the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) seems to be the main certification body in the software testing world with a representation in more than 70 countries, other software testing organizations offers both a community for sharing knowledge and opportunities to be a certified software tester.
Unit testing JavaScript applications can seem difficult. Issues arise with JavaScript scope, asynchronous XHR requests, DOM manipulation, and all the different browsers and platforms. Sometimes, JavaScript unit testing seems unreliable, brittle, or take more time and effort than it’s worth. The good news is that dozens of JavaScript test frameworks, libraries, and test runners help solve the problems. These make implementing unit tests for your JavaScript applications quick, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Running your SQL Server database unit tests within the scope of a single transaction allows you to roll back any changes that the test enacted after the test ends. This article propose a step by step approach to achieve this goal. You start to create a transaction in your Transact-SQL test script that uses BEGIN TRANSACTION and ROLLBACK TRANSACTION. Then you will create a transaction for a single test method in a test class and then a transaction for all test methods in a given test class.
For Node, there are two types of automated testing: unit testing and acceptance testing. Unit testing tests code logic directly and is applicable to all types of applications. Acceptance testing, however, is an additional layer of testing most commonly used for web applications. This article discusses the Tobi and Soda frameworks for acceptance testing.
This tutorial introduces the Selenium WebDriver API. It presents how to mimic usage of the following HTML elements: link , button, checkbox, select combo box, alert box and table. A video explains how to record the Selenium scenario and the code of the examples is stored in github.
