CI/CD is not a one-size-fits all solution. Using CI/CD to run automated UI tests as part of the build process, be it in a headless or a headed-UI mode, requires carefully picking the tools, strategies, and tests to run in the pipeline. It requires a cultural shift in every organization, especially the ones that still practice entirely manual UI testing.

This session is promoting the tactical and practical aspect of test automation in an Agile software development environment. It gives an insight into bringing UI automation into CI/CD through a real-life scenario that will be presented on a level, that even junior QAs can reach and get a decent understanding of. More experienced test engineers will benefit from hands-on tips on how to structure their test suites and what type of automated tests they should consider integrating into their pipelines.

Learning objectives:

• How to set up automated UI tests to run as part of CI/CD
• How to build a test stack that doesn’t slow your pipelines
• How to use headless test automation to speed up in-sprint testing
