The best reason for writing tests is to automate your testing. Without tests, you will likely perform software testing manually. This manual testing will take longer and longer as your codebase grows. This video presents how to test an Angular 2 application. Learn how to use to JavaScript open source testing tools: Jasmine, a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing framework for JavaScript, to unit testing components and Protractor, a testing framework for Angular and AngularJS applications, for integration testing. This presentation explores also coverage options and continuous integration tools.
Moving from manual to automated testing at a small company takes curiosity, research, careful planning and the ability to evolve as you learn. This talk will focus on how to get started, cultural hurdles, technology options, implementation and evolution. Additionally, virtualization and test case management will be covered. The goal for this topic is to show how to go from manual test case execution to an automated framework that can be built upon.
A microservices architecture is a variant of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services. In her article “Automated Testing Strategy for a Microservices Architecture”, Emily Bache explains how you could transform your test automation approach when you switch from a monolith architecture to a microservices architecture.
Pyramids? Quadrants? Cupcakes?! There are a wide array of models that describe approaches to software testing and test automation strategy and their possible positive (or negative) outcomes.
