How to start UI automated tests with Playwright

Apr 07 2023

The advantages of using Playwright for UI testing?

In the modern trends of web applications development the great advantage is to have an opportunity to create automated tests quickly, launch them and get representative execution results for the analysis. That’s why to achieve it and gain the edge over the popular webDriver and Chrome DevTools protocol technologies, Microsoft started its open source project Playwright, which provides QA engineers with following features in UI automated testing:

What is Allure and what is it used for

Allure is an open-source framework that is designed to create beautiful, interactive, and easy-to-read reports for automated tests. It allows developers and testers to create detailed and meaningful reports of their test results and can be integrated with various test frameworks such as JUnit, TestNG, and more.

At the development or support stage of a large web application there often arises necessity of the automated testing. This is due to the fact, that automated execution of tests is faster than manual. UI autotests simulate actions of a real user, and they use different browsers for this. We know that, ideally, tests should work not only without human intervention, but also be run at the right time. In this article, we are going to show how to start with web UI automation on a demo project, using IDEA IDE step by step.

HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming communications protocol implemented by Apple Inc. The conception of the protocol is based on the principle of splitting a single stream into small fragments sequentially downloaded via HTTP. At the beginning of the session, the playlist is downloaded in the M3U format, containing metadata about the existing nested streams. Based on standard HTTP transactions, HTTP Live Streaming can pass through any firewall or proxy server, passing standard HTTP traffic, unlike UDP-based protocols such as RTP. The standard also includes a standard encryption mechanism and secure-key distribution using HTTPS. Let’s look at how to test HLS using Apache JMeter and Locust.

It’s clear that there’s a point where a comprehensive testing cannot be performed by creating a set of tests using a non-formal or even random approach. Experienced testers have to address different testing techniques to maintain acceptable level of coverage and high bug detection rate within a tight schedule. In this article we are going to look at and get familiar with one of the most effective yet easy-to-use testing techniques called pairwise testing.

To use or not to use – every customer asks themselves this question, when it comes to mobile automation testing. They say that development and supporting of UI auto tests costs too much. But let’s return to the statement a little bit later. And now we are going to discuss the following questions: what is mobile automation, who is it for, what for and do you actually need it?

When REST API is tested, one has to take into account a number of low level details. This makes test execution reports verbose, difficult for reading and complicates the maintenance of the test scripts. For instance, the backend of an application consists of about 15 services and a separate service, that provides API for the mobile client. The minimal set of integration tests contains about 400 tests, which create more than 70000 rows of log files. To sort out such size of the text file, generated by only one run of the test is not feasible, even with joint effort of the entire QA department.

In this article we will examine how to make tests execution reports more comprehensive, using a specific tool – Allure, created by Yandex company. Yandex Allure is one of the solutions to the task for the design of the testing reports.

How to Make Collaboration Between Software Testers and Analysts More Efficient

Collaboration Between Testers and Analysts

May 10 2018

Testers on the project usually deal with described requirements for which it is necessary to make an assessment of the testing time, write a test plan, compile a set of tests and conduct tests. When performing this work, the tester very often encounters the need to clarify the requirements, rewrite incorrectly formulated or contradictory descriptions. In the process of clarifying the requirements there is a need to modify, supplement, rewrite tests. Since the tester verifies positive and negative scenarios, the work of users with different access rights, the operation of the script with different preconditions, then the number of test scenarios written for the requirements is usually greater than the scenarios described by the analyst. If the analyst makes changes or rewrites a requirement, then the tester needs to make changes to all related tests. This work takes a very long time. How to reduce the time to work with requirements during testing?

The Guide for Writing Exemplar Test Cases

Mar 12 2018

Writing test cases is one of the basic options within a QA engineer’s arsenal. Properly written test cases may be applied to almost any development methodology, testing technique or project size. They can provide QA team with a crucial success or easily become the most annoying part of the testing process. This guide is intended to help QA engineers of any experience to achieve the first and avoid the latter.
