Automation testing has long been a cornerstone of efficient software development. Among the many tools available, Selenium has been a go-to for developers due to its flexibility and extensive community support. However, in recent years, Playwright has emerged as a powerful competitor, offering several advanced features and improvements that make it a compelling choice for […]

Introduction: In the world of software development, the seamless integration between different components is paramount. Contract testing emerges as a valuable technique to achieve this integration with confidence. This article aims to explore the concept of contract testing, its benefits, appropriate use cases, and drawbacks. Furthermore, we will introduce Pact.io, a powerful contract testing framework […]

Introduction: Service virtualization has become a game-changer in the realm of software integration and testing. Traditional approaches often rely on live systems or struggle with simulating complex environments, resulting in delays, increased costs, and limited test coverage. However, with the rise of open-source service virtualization technologies, organizations now have a powerful solution at their disposal. […]

Introduction: Ensuring the quality and reliability of native apps across different platforms and devices is a critical aspect of mobile app development. Automation testing plays a crucial role in achieving this objective by streamlining the testing process, improving efficiency, and reducing human error. In this article, we will explore the techniques to implement automation testing […]

As web applications continue to evolve, ensuring their quality and functionality becomes paramount. User Interface (UI) automation testing plays a crucial role in verifying the behavior of web applications across different scenarios. However, traditional UI automation testing frameworks often rely on manually identifying and locating elements such as buttons, links, and other components, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. In this article, we explore the application of Deep Learning techniques to automatically recognize website parts and components, facilitating UI automation testing with Selenium.

In order to perform structured tests, a general description of the task as found in most development models is not sufficient. Besides integrating testing into the development process it is also necessary to provide a detailed test procedure. The development task consists of the process phases test planning and control, analysis and design, implementation and […]

A microservice architecture is made of single responsibility-focused services that are small, independently and deployable. A complete business application can be obtained aggregating and orchestrating this kind of service. These services are independent of each other, giving you the ability to easily test and deploy each one individually. . A single instance of a microservice […]

Much like we gain knowledge about the behavior of the physical universe via the scientific method, we gain knowledge about the behavior of our software via a system of assertion, observation, and experimentation called “testing.” There are many things one could desire to know about a software system. It seems that most often we want […]

Continuous Integration The first step to delivering consistent and high-quality software is Continuous Integration (CI). CI is all about ensuring your software is in a deployable state at all times. That is, the code compiles and the quality of the code can be assumed to be of reasonably good quality. Source control CI starts with […]

Cucumber is a very fun and cool tool for writing automated acceptance tests to support software development in the behavior-driven development (BDD) style. Getting ready In the BDD style, when a developer starts writing a test case, unlike writing a test method in TDD, he/she writes a “feature” belonging to a “story” which describes the […]

Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process originated from Extreme Programming (XP) invented by Kent Beck, which relies on the repetition of a number of short and continuous development cycles. TDD can lead to more modularized, flexible, and extensible code; the early and frequent nature of the testing helps to catch defects early in […]

Getting back to the example, using the same repository and test that we outlined previously, we now convert that test to use a mock created by Moq instead of the repository stub. Listing below demonstrates how the code looks. using System; using System.Data.SqlClient; using Microsoft.Practices.Unity; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; using Moq; namespace CodeSamples.Ch05_ClassMocking.Listing04 { public class MockingExample […]
