From slow scrolling to dealing with lazy loading images...to handling multiple elements with a couple of lines of code...

I'll share some of the commands I created and discovered to hack my Cypress test suite and make it more stable.

Learnings from our 18-month journey to build a robust, scalable yet maintainable E2E testing framework.

In this talk, front-end web app developers and testers would get to learn the most advanced and little-known features of the Cypress framework.

The typical way for API development is getting some transient user stories from Product owners to implement API endpoints.

However this will be costly as bugs will surface when passed on to the QA folk.

In this talk,
I'll share how we can apply BDD as part of shift left strategy
to API testing and
apply open source tool like SerenityJS
using cucumber test runner for API testing.

You may have heard of “shift-left” or “shift-right” being essential to successfully preventing defect slippage in today's application development landscape.

In fact, the 2021-2022 World Quality Report cites that 55% of respondents stated that they need to “shift-left” more, and 53% of respondents stated that they need to “shift-right” more.

This session is going to focus on the Micro Focus point of view, that we need to “shift-everywhere”, both left and right, but not abandon the lessons we’ve learned so far in testing.

Understanding the existence and basics of High-Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT) can enhance your ability to add automation coverage.

In most current software delivery teams, there is some amount of automation created to help with testing tasks. From bare-bones smoke test suites to deep regression suites to special-purpose, proprietary tools, the use of machines to help us test is nearly omnipresent.

That said, most of the automation we create is based on traditional test cases. Typically, there is some, or a lot, of value in this approach to automation, but there are additional techniques.

Enter, High-Volume Automated Testing; this is not load or performance testing.

Defined as “a family of testing techniques that enable the tester to create, run and evaluate the results of arbitrarily many tests”, High-Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT) is a way of repurposing our existing automation and the techniques with which we are familiar while adding new approaches to extend our existing automation coverage.

During this session, Paul Grizzaffi shares the basics of HiVAT, including discussing the original work by Dr. Cem Kaner, Harry Robinson, and Andy Tinkham, supplementing with HiVAT examples from his own experience.

Learn how to start testing your front end with unit tests instead of needing to deploy.

Testing-library is a family of packages helps you test UI components in a user-centric way. This allows you to test your front end before deploying and without the need for end to end tests in many scenarios.

In this session, you'll learn about the importance of mindset needed for best performance in automation testing.

You'll also discover the habits that are important for automation engineers.

Discover the basis of different kinds of tests in flutter and contrast them with other testing frameworks.

Flutter is a multi-platform framework with a robust testing mechanisms.

This talk will go over Unit, Widget and Integration tests in flutter, how to write them, run them and also integrate them into CI with GitHub actions.

One of the biggest new features of Appium 2.0 is the concept of plugins. Plugins can implement all kinds of useful functionality and can be developed by anyone and shared with the world.

In my talk, I'm going to share how plugins work and then give a deep dive into a new plugin I'm developing, which will be revealed in the talk.

If you're into Appium or automating difficult scenarios, I think you'll find it pretty interesting!

Many people have discovered that UI test automation with Cypress is fast and easy.

But did you know there's a way to make your tests even faster?

Cypress has a built-in feature called cy.request that allows you to easily make API requests.

API requests are much faster and more reliable than UI interactions, so it's a great idea to learn how to use them in your tests.

In my presentation, I'll be taking a suite of UI automated tests and refactoring them to use API calls. You'll see just how easy it is to make your automation lightning fast!

It’s 2022, and cross-browser testing (CBT) is as important as ever. Our apps need properly-responsive layouts to handle the myriad of platforms and screens in our digital world. I’ll be straight, though: CBT at scale is a challenge. Just like any facet of testing, it requires risk-based planning and a well-engineered implementation.

In this talk, I’ll share my real experiences with CBT. We’ll cover pros and cons of different strategies for choosing browsers, building versus buying infrastructure, and optimizing execution with visual testing techniques. I’ll share my experiences on aspects like speed, reliability, and maintenance, too. After this talk, you’ll be able to make awesome choices for your modern CBT needs!

This session covers and dives into methodology of accessibility automation testing. The focus isn't about specific code or particular framework instead examines the concerns, considerations and questions that arise when creating a strategy automating accessibility tests.

Learn how continuous integration, delivery, and testing can be achieved using GitHub actions, alongside other tips so that you can take your automation to the next level.

Being a tester is like being a pokémon trainer: we want to choose the right pokémon for the job. The problem with doing different types of testing is that we also end up with multiple scripts in different languages and testing tools. We end up choosing a squad of pokémon: one for unit testing, one for automation testing, one for load testing, and so on. Making sure they all work together is a task in itself!

But what if we could just use one? What if we only needed one Mega-evolved pokémon that could fulfill multiple roles? Is it really possible to write a browser automation script and then reuse it for load testing?

In this talk, I will talk about my search for the elusive one pokémon that does multiple jobs, the advantages of hybrid load testing, and how to pick pokémon that make our life as trainers and testers easier.
