Tutorials and resources on how to apply test automation in software testing
Testing in production is the only way to know that your software is working right now in production. It not only increases developer confidence in the code but also development velocity because you will spend less time fixing bugs and more time building new products. Testing in production provides an increased accuracy of test results, faster test execution time due to elimination of bad data, and you will have higher confidence before releases because you already know that your features will work before you launch.
Exhaustive testing is a type of software testing approach where all the behaviors of a system are explored during the tests. If this approach is good in theory, it is not feasible in most testing contexts where time and resources are limited. This article presents the distinguishing characteristics of exhaustive testing and explain how to perform it.
Selenium is a widely used open source framework for end-to-end web testing nowadays. JUnit 5 is the latest version of this popular Java open source unit testing framework and implements a brand-new programming and extension model named Jupiter. This talk presents Selenium-Jupiter. This is an open-source JUnit 5 extension that provides seamless integration with Selenium.
The Fuzzing Book is a website / online book that presents tools and techniques for generating software tests. Fuzzing is defined by Wikipedia as “automated software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program. The program is then monitored for exceptions such as crashes, failing built-in code assertions, or potential memory leaks.”
If you are doing UI test automation, there is a high probability that you are using Selenium. Either directly, or in some framework, or by some tool that is built on Selenium. But did you ever wonder what is going on under the hood? How does Selenium use the browser? How does it find elements? If that sounds interesting to you, this is a presentation for you.
Salesforce is a major software player in the field of customer relationship management (CRM) and customer service software. This article discusses the specific challenges of automated testing for Salesforce applications and provides best practices for implementing test automation in this domain.
This book “Implementing Automated Software Testing”, Elfriede Dustin, Thom Garrett and Bernie Gauf presents a comprehensive treatment of the domain of software testing automation. The first part defines and describes test automation, proposing a business case for automation and discussing the pitfalls that should be avoided.
