Agile development is a big thing nowadays. Almost every project wants to deliver value as quick as possible, but not all of them succeed because of the share amount of work most projects require. But what if you could actually deliver 2 times more value, but 3 times less features? Behat is an open source Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework for PHP inspired by the Ruby Cucumber BDD framework.
Selenium tests can quickly grow in size and could become difficult to maintain, unless adhered to DRY principles to the extreme. Geb is an open source browser automation solution that brings together the power of WebDriver, the elegance of jQuery content selection, the robustness of Page Object modelling and the expressiveness of the Groovy language.
So your team has made the transition to agile and your work is broken down into user stories. It makes perfect sense to break work down into smaller chunks, but now you’re running into problems with estimation and communication. Your team is delivering value but it’s been discovered that user stories are thrashing through the analysis, development and QA processes. What is going on here? Come a software development process with a deceiving name: Behavior Driven Development.
This presentation pulls a variety of examples in testable development from the speaker book “Continuous Enterprise Development in Java” published by O’Reilly. It includes a review of the sections on RESTful services, UI verification, transactions and security.
Two years ago, we introduced Spock tests into the MongoDB Java driver. The decision could be considered controversial – the project used no external dependencies in production code, and was 100% Java. But there was a back door… with Gradle as the build system, there was a tiny excuse to use Groovy in the project, provided it was not in the production code. That was all the excuse we needed to start using Spock for unit and later, integration tests.
Every day, Netflix has more customers consuming more content on an increasing number of client devices. We’re also constantly innovating to improve our customers’ experience. Testing in such a rapidly changing environment is a huge challenge, and we’ve concluded that running tests in our production environment can often be the most efficient way to validate those changes.
Ari Lerner believes that testing is a core aspect of development, that they cannot be separated from one another, that they are one in the same. This talk is about Angular, and is specifically about testing the Angular JavaScript framework, but the approaches discussed are universal to front-end applications alike.
