    31 Days of Testing—Day 11: Maintainable Functional Automation

    NOTE: I’m running a series called “31 Days of Testing” on my personal blog at FrazzledDad.com. The series covers a really broad range of testing topics, so I haven’t been cross-posting things here. This specific post; however, hits perfectly on things I’ve spoken about in Test Studio webinars and previous posts, so I’m posting it here, too. I’ll cross-post a few others; however, if you want to read the full series then please join me over at FrazzledDad! I wanted to write a blog post on “Introduction to Functional Automation Testing” but I realized I firmly believe there are ...

    New Series on Telerik TV: “That’s Neat!”

    I’ve just started my new series “That’s Neat” to Telerik TV. My goal with each video in the series is to show you one feature of Test Studio that I find helpful, interesting, or, well, neat. The videos will all be two to five minutes long, and I plan to record them while I’m on my various travels around to conferences, user groups, customers, or whatever. The first video is on using the just-released feature for capturing elements with friendly names during recording. I hope you enjoy the series!

    Organize Your Tests, Part II: Use Metadata!

    In my last post I talked about some ways to organize your tests to help keep things clear and discoverable. My pal Adam Goucher, one of the top Selenium folks around, took me to task me via mail (in a friendly way!) that tags and metadata are a critical part of organizing your tests. I agree, but with a subtle difference. Tags and other forms of metadata are great for helping you categorize your tests, but I think they come in to play more when you’re trying to execute your tests versus organize your tests on the file system. ...

    Organizing Your Tests

    Naming and organization is critical in keeping software systems maintainable as you move forward, especially with larger systems or systems with longer lifespans. You’ll find yourself spending large amounts of time stumbling around unclear, tangled source code if you don’t take care with how you lay out your classes, namespaces, and projects. We should take the same exact care with our tests as the systems we’re delivering to our customers, because test code IS production code. Careful naming and layout of your tests is every bit as important as the system itself—and perhaps even a bit more since we ...
