Agile Testing and SeleNesse

Published August 16th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Tools like FitNesse allows test automation to happen quickly and broadly. However, many companies can’t support it in their infrastructure. Dawn Cannan got around this problem by helping create SeleNesse, a Selenium-FitNesse plugin. She also paired with developers in the Java space and the .NET space to bring this plugin to both domains.

GWT Testing Best Practices

Published August 9th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

GWT has a lot of little-publicized infrastructure that can help you build apps The Right Way: test-driven development, code coverage, comprehensive unit tests, and integration testing using Selenium or WebDriver. This session will survey GWT’s testing infrastructure, describe some best practices we’ve developed at Google, and help you avoid common pitfalls.

Molybdenum Cross Browser Testing

Published July 7th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Molybdenum is web UI testing made easy. Capture and replay, modularized and maintainable tests with bricks, data binding with external files, reporting with simple rerun possibilities, test other media than HTML like PDF with helper applications. It provides integration into build tools like ANT and Maven. Molybdenum is based on selenium-core. While SeleniumIDE is focusing on developers with export to different programming languages and crossbrowser testing, Molybdenum is focused on simple test execution, reporting, test parameterization for everybody participating in your team. This video shows how to do cross browser testing with Molybdenum.

Digg Technical Talks – Kohsuke Kawaguchi

The creator of Hudson, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, speaks to Digg engineering team about the current state of Hudson and what we can look forward to down the road. His comments about Selenium and Hudson are of particular interest to the QA team. There are all kinds of integration possibilities – from custom reports that include embedded Sauce Labs video results to automatically establishing connections between our environments, there are lots of ways to make tests run more often and more quickly through Hudson.

How Mozilla uses Selenium

Published June 8th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently. Each integration is verified by an automated build to find problems as quickly as possible. Many teams discover that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. In our talk, we’ll show how our team uses open-source tools, particularly Selenium Grid and Hudson, to test the web applications we make. Raymond Etornam will cover how we moved from testing them using basic Selenium IDE in Selenese/PHP to a more structured system, where our tests are run using Hudson and Selenium Grid, in Python. Stephen Donner will co-lead, providing more of the historical background.

Selenium + FitNesse – A QA Multiplier Effect

Published May 5th, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

This demonstration describes how Selenium integrated with FitNesse extends an organization’s ability to create more automated test cases without the need for Selenium programming while expanding the ability to test across all popular browsers. With FitNesse, QA managers, Product Managers and Testers can easily create wiki-based test stories that execute across multiple browsers.

Gems of Selenium

Published May 3rd, 2010 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web applications. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language. Selenium provides a test domain specific language (DSL) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including Java, Ruby, Groovy, Python, PHP, and Perl. Test playback is in most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms. This talk is focused on covering the gems of selenium and their capabilities. In this podcast, the speakers gave an overview of what selenium is and its history. They talked further on other features that are present in selenium. They also discussed what selenium 2.0 brings to the table and what that means for your existing test automation suite.
