The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is an open source, multi-platform, multi-language framework designed around the idea of reusable components, called services. STAX is an execution engine which can help you thoroughly automate the distribution, execution, and results analysis of your testcases. In this article, Fabio Negrello provides an introduction to the STAF/STAX test automation framework and explains how you can use it to build a framework for the automation of regression testing and continuous integration.
Mobile applications (or apps) are the current trend in the evolution of software development where mobile devices become the client device rather than a PC. Load testing of mobile apps requires some specific practices. The Methods & Tools magazine a published in its last issues a series of articles about this topic. The articles were targeting each a specific component of the mobile software ecosystem: the device, the server and the network.
In my previous articles, PHP Unit Testing with PHPUnit and Using Mocks and Stubs in PHPUnit, I have showed how to set up PHPUnit and how to get started with unit tests and how to handle mocking and stubbing objects in order to effectively isolate your code under test. This article will explore a few ways to get the most out of your PHPUnit tests.
