Tutorials and resources on how to apply test automation in software testing
Arquillian is an open source testing platform for the JVM that enables to easily create automated integration, functional and acceptance tests for Java middleware. In this article, Alex Soto presents three options to use Arquillian Cube to manager Docker containers from Arquillian.
The technical presentation touches on topics such as test automation framework design, hermetic servers, Docker containers, architecture for testability, test environments provisioning, DevOps collaboration, testing when depending on internal and external services, the joys and pitfalls of parallel execution.
Software testing is an important and tricky topic for mobile app development. With multiple operating systems versions and devices manufacturers, it is very time consuming to cover all possible combinations. This is why it is recommended to automate testing with a parallel perspective rather than performing tests sequentially. In this article, Tarik Demirović explains how to implement parallel mobile testing for Android devices with Appium.
Jasmine is an open source behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using Typescript/JavaScript (JS) and other languages. In his article, Gerard Sans offers a presentation of Jasmine, discusses the unit testing of AngularJS and shares some Unit Testing recipes for Angular 2: Components, Services, Http and MockBackend, Directives, Pipes, Routes, Observables and EventEmitter.
In software test automation like in programming, the creation phase is always the easier. Then the application is delivered and starts his “maintenance” life, sometimes being tagged with the infamous “legacy” adjective. During this period the code evolve and so should be maintained. This is the same for the code that automate the software testing activity. In his article, Gojko Adzic proposes five ways to reduce the cost of large test suites.
The DevOps approach has been sometimes considered as a thread for software testers, as it might be a trick to minimize the software testing activities. In this article, Tom Gilmore explains why DevOps should be considered as an opportunity for software quality assurance (QA) as it will support the move towards test automation.
You are the Selenium master and automate tests in your sleep. You make sure the quality of your companies web page is 100%. But then the team wants you to measure the performance of your site. How do you do that? Is that even possible to measure web performance with Selenium?
