    Test Studio’s R2 Release: Simplifying the Complex

    Testing and software development are complex enough without your tools getting in the way. I’m particularly excited at how Test Studio’s R2 release kept a number of critical pieces of functionality crisp, clean, and simple while giving you great power to focus on essential portions of your quality program. Performance Testing: Focusing on Critical Information Perhaps the centerpiece of our R2 release is our new Performance Testing feature. You can now easily use any automated functional test to gather performance metrics on that specific slice of your application. You don’t need to change the test in any way, and you ...

You automate navigating to the proper screen, you get all the right values filled in, the Submit button gets clicked, and you do a check for the “User created!” message. You run the test a couple times to make sure everything’s working smoothly. Things look good, so you check it in to source control, where it gets wrapped in to your regular automation runs. Shortly after a new bug gets filed stating newly ...

    Video of my Selenium Talk from Rocky Mountain Ruby Posted

    Back in late August/early September I spoke at the Rocky Mountain Ruby conference in Boulder, Colorado. My talk was about lessons learned dealing with large functional test suites over my career.
