In a series of posts, I’ve talked about my Tapestry micro-framework and I tried to provide some of the rationale for its design choices. Providing that rationale meant providing a context for you to see it in action. This post … Continue reading
In the previous post I talked about communication patterns in terms of the micro-framework and tests. Here I’ll talk about the expressiveness of the tests themselves, showing how Tapestry supports the idea of a context.
In my last post on micro-frameworks, I got into the organizing principles of my Tapestry solution, by which the framework provides or supports a mechanism for the encapslation of and delegation to logic. Here I’m going to continue on that … Continue reading
This is a continuation of my exploration into providing insight into micro-framework creation for automation, using my own Tapestry tool by way of example. The first post set the context and the second post focused on exposing an API. Here … Continue reading
Here I’ll continue on with the introduction of my Tapestry micro-framework that I started in the first post. This time I’ll focus on a bit on how you want to create an API interface for your micro-framework.
Here I want to talk a little about test automation framework construction. Or, rather, micro-framework construction. I will use my own tool, called Tapestry, for this purpose. Tapestry is written in Ruby but what I talk about is potentially transferrable … Continue reading
As many automation engineers know, we’ve been dealing with Marionette, the successor to the Firefox Selenium driver, for some time now. We’re starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. However, I’m finding a lot of teams … Continue reading
In this tutorial post, I’ll begin covering how to apply the screenplay pattern with the Serenity framework. This is a “roll-up your sleeves and code” post. Here I will take a measured approach to demonstrating the screenplay pattern in the … Continue reading
As a tester wanting to write test tools in the JavaScript context, you have to get used to the concepts of callbacks and promises. This is one area that is very different from other programming languages when considering automation. So … Continue reading
I talked previously about using Selenium WebDriver in the context of JavaScript. There I used Jasmine as a test runner for Selenium. Here I want to expand on this by using the arguably more popular Mocha as well as get … Continue reading
A lot of testers avoid any consideration of C# because it’s a Microsoft created language and the assumption is that it only has relevance on Windows. That’s not true. Just as Java learned a lot (and corrected a lot) from … Continue reading
In this post, I’ll focus on an ecosystem I haven’t given much attention: that of Windows and the use .NET related technologies. I’ll be covering the use of Selenium WebDriver within a C# context.
In this post I’ll focus on using page objects in a Selenium and Cucumber JVM context. Please note that this post follows on from the previous post, using the code you built up there.
I previously posted a tutorial on using Cucumber JVM to test Java code. However, many testers are in the position of using Cucumber JVM to test web-based applications using tools like Selenium. In this post I’ll show how to use … Continue reading
