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.

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 […]

Test Double is a generic term for any case where you replace a production object for testing purposes. We now introduce a significant piece of the unit testing approach—test doubles. Using test doubles is a way of creating a class whose behavior can be changed at runtime. These classes can be used to unit test […]

I know that Martin Fowler has written about this extensively, but I wanted to write a concise version, since this point seems to bear reiterating from time to time. Mocks aren’t stubs. Specifically, I recommend against setting an expectation on a method (“mocking” it) when you really want to simulate a specific response from that […]
