Description

It’s UI Automation week and to get the ideas flowing and everyone sharing we set out a series of UI automation challenges for you to take part in. Members of the testing community have been working hard on these and getting ready to share their experiences as part of the themed week. However, not everyone wants to work on these challenges alone. Sometimes it’s best to learn with others or with the guidance of someone more experienced.

In this special, one of a kind, 99 Minute Workshop, we’re going to do exactly that. By joining this workshop you’ll have the opportunity to learn with fellow testers and with our instructor Mark Winteringham. During the workshop, Mark will go through each of the challenges, show you how to complete them and discuss the theory behind the solutions.

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone looking to start UI automation or improve their existing UI automation work. For new starters, you’ll learn how to create your first UI automation, adopt good habits when writing code and see what is possible with UI automation after some practice. For the more experienced, we’ll go back to basics to polish up our skills, remind ourselves how to create clean code and then look at how we can expand the reach of our UI automation.

In this workshop will be using Java, so some knowledge of how to use the language is required which you can get from taking the Automation in Testing Java Course.

Takeaways

• Practise creating a basic UI automation check
• Discover patterns to improve UI automation code
• Adapt UI automation checks to use visual checking techniques
• Adapt UI automation checks to run across different browsers
• Practise automating the UI of a Desktop application

Prerequisites

What

Description

In American pop culture, Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) is likely a non-existent, ape-like, creature infrequently seen in the Pacific Northwest of North America. In the software realm, we have our own version of Sasquatch: that irritating, "intermittent issue" occurring in the system. These kinds of issues are typically difficult to find and often blamed on anything other than a product defect.

We typically run our automated tests on event boundaries, i.e. when we have a successful build and deployment; we look for problems when we think we may have introduced problems. Logically, these points of change are when we expect to have injected new issues, so, we only look for issues at those times. This approach alone, however, only gives us limited opportunities to reproduce our intermittent issues. If we also ran our automation periodically, we would have additional opportunities to reproduce these types of issues; we simply call this approach periodic automation.

Using a real-world example from his own experience, Paul Grizzaffi will explain how this periodic automation can help hunt down these elusive targets. For additional context, he will explain how this approach relates to High-Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT), as well as some HiVAT basics and examples. He will also explore some considerations of which we need to be mindful when implementing periodic automation in order to avoid desensitisation to failures.

Though we may never find “the real” Sasquatch, applying periodic automation increases our chances of finding our own intermittent issues.

Takeaways

• The complexity of most current software systems all but guarantees intermittent issues.
• Running automation on non-event boundaries can help catch intermittent issues.
• While periodic automation evolved from academic-research, it also has real-world applications.
• We must be mindful of “failure fatigue” when adding automation runs

What

Description

Join Mark Winteringham as he hosts the Java experience reports. In this session, Mark will be joined by community members who took the challenges on and solved them using Java. During each experience report, the speakers will demonstrate their final solutions, explaining the approach they took, tooling they chose, the decisions they made and how they overcame the problems they faced while solving these challenges.

These experience reports will give you real-world insight into how your peers solved the same problems. Demonstrating how there is always more than one way to solve a problem, and how fortunate we are to have a plethora of tooling in the testing/quality space. Not only will you get to see the technical solutions to the challenges, we all love to geek over some code, but you’ll also hear about the problem-solving techniques people use and how they manage their work. Learn the steps and actions taken when tooling presents them with errors or the application under test isn’t behaving how we thought it should.

If you still need more convincing, you’ll also be able to ask the speakers questions during their experience reports, and Mark will also be asking them questions to make sure we learn as much as possible from each speaker's experience.

If you want to see the format in action, check out the recordings from the Automation Week which happened back in October 2020.

What

Description

Automated UI tests give you confidence that whole areas of your system are playing nicely together. But they also come at a price, and it's not just that they're slower than other types of test. Worse than that, they can also be unreliable - I'm talking about "that test" which occasionally falls over when nothing is actually wrong.

This flakey behaviour is by no means unique to UI tests, but they are much more susceptible to it. By definition, they are covering many areas of your system at once, meaning there's a bigger set of moving parts in which something can go wrong. Mis-fired requests, elements stealing focus at the wrong moment, variable loading times - it can be a minefield. And when a test does start acting up, diagnosing and fixing it can be even more awkward.

So what do we do? The first important step is to acknowledge that these flakes are inevitable, just as bugs in production are. By embracing failure and investing in observability, we can ensure that they are as easy to diagnose and quick to fix as possible. In this talk, I will demonstrate some strategies for achieving this, as well as outlining why it is crucial to do so for your team's productivity.

Takeaways

• Flakes in CI pipelines are a productivity killer, and UI tests are particularly susceptible
• Whilst you can learn from flakes and develop strategies to minimise them, it is inevitable that you'll continue to introduce new ones
• Therefore, strong observability around your UI tests is important to stay on top of the problem

Description

Suman is a QA advocate with a passion for improvement in quality processes and is a strong believer in Test Automation with nearly 15 years of testing experience. She did not fall into testing by chance instead she choose testing as a career.

When she started working in 2006, software testing wasn’t seen as a skilled job. Her manager told her to go for "Software Developer" role because she can write code”. She wanted to change that thought process, so decided to stick with testing. She has designed & developed various automation frameworks from scratch from middleware graphics library, front-end web & native / hybrid mobile apps.

She has some success and failure stories to share :)

Some example questions and themes you may wish to ask include:

• It's common saying "UI tests are flaky, how can you make them reliable?"
• What are the benefits of UI tests?
• Is it possible to achieve 100% automation?
• What are the common test automation mistakes and how to avoid them?
