Software Testing Articles: Load Testing, Unit Testing, Functional Testing, Performance Testing, Agile Testing, DevOps
Behavior-driven development (BDD) is similar to test-driven development (TDD), but the tests for BDD are written in an easier-to-understand language so that developers and clients alike can clearly understand what is being tested. In this article based on chapter 2 of Rails 3 in Action, the authors discuss two tools for BDD: RSpec and Cucumber.
Many developers are not aware of all of the debugging features in Visual Studio, because debugging in Visual Studio “just works.” This article provides an overview of debugging features of Visual Studio that are often ignored by developers like actions in the Breakpoints window or data visualizers. It also discusses external tools and third-party tools you can add to your debugging toolkit.
Delayed at the end of a project, software testing has often to be done under severe pressure. This article explains how to improve software testing efficiency with risk evaluation. It presents a strategy for prioritizing tests against deadlines and offer solutions for more effective test, which means to find more and more important defects in the same amount of time.
One of the biggest challenges facing web applications is the support of web browsers with different versions. This challenge is inherited from the lack of testing the JavaScript code living in the presentation tier from day one. Without unit testing this code, organizations may pay for repeated testing of web applications after upgrading or supporting new browsers. This article shows you how to reduce testing costs using efficient unit testing for JavaScript code.
Integration tests are performed after a successful execution of unit tests. Integration tests are, therefore, executed less frequently, because unit tests will naturally fail often. With this strict separation between unit tests and integration tests, we can save several minutes (sometimes, hours) with each turnaround. This article explains how integration testing can increase your productivity and ensure the deployability of your Java EE 6 application.
As cloud computing dives deeply into its latest trend, the proliferation of instances of mobile device access, testing the explosive numbers of new applications could be an obstacle to speedy deployment. Automated testing on the cloud is the answer to that roadblock. This article discusses how to add grid computing and peer-to-peer collaboration functionality to make automated testing on the cloud more effective. It also provides an example of a real-world system and scenario.
This article explains how to use Arquillian to test a web UI of the application you are building. The mission of the Arquillian project is to provide a simple test harness that abstracts away all container lifecycle and deployment from the test logic so developers can easily produce a broad range of integration tests for their enterprise Java applications. This article exercises the following tools: Arquillian, Arquillian Drone, ShrinkWrap Maven Resolver and Selenium.
