- 3. Automated acceptance testing is important part of Agile approaches ACCEPTANCE TESTS
- 4. Main questions for any team How to build How to build right product right? product? Technology Business facing facing
- 6. Story planning in Agile Customer Whole team Acceptance + Criteria Customer QA engineer Acceptance Behavior + Tests Samples Whole team Functional Unit Integration Tests Tests Tests
- 7. Acceptance Criteria format Observable Preconditions Actor Action result Given [Precondition] When [Actor + Action] Then [Observable Result]
- 9. Automated acceptance tests Visibility Reduced costs Collaboration Reduced risks
- 10. There are many ways to automate acceptance tests IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS
- 11. Large set of available tools
- 12. But we have WebDriver?!? Get Driver Use Driver Provide Data Use Locators
- 13. WebDriver with Page Object search order Index Page Search Page login search filter Main Page open see more Details close Page show me like this
- 15. Main idea of Thucydides Acceptance Tests Page Objects
- 16. Every test consists of steps WebDriver Test = Test Case
- 17. Test steps is great idea! Measure Thinking progress tool Clearer Reusable tests Steps
- 18. Thucydides is a great framework for acceptance or functional testing THUCYDIDES IN PRACTICE
- 19. Specify requirements Module Feature Story
- 20. Create acceptance test Steps Story Acceptance criteria High-level steps
- 21. Or more technical test Story Managed driver Pages Steps Test logic
- 22. Implement steps Base class Page Objects Low-level steps Step marker
- 23. Location validation Add Page Objects Base class Fields Driver Syntax sugar
- 24. Reporting is always important
- 25. General overview Statistics, status and features matrix
- 26. Report by features Coverage, progress and traceability
- 27. Report by stories Status and bug/task tracking integration
- 28. Detailed test report Time, steps, data and screenshots
- 29. Historical trends Trends by test status with zoom option
- 30. Integration with task trackers • Bidirectional • Performs updates • Apply workflow
- 31. Run tests in different browsers
- 33. Even more… • Syntax sugar • Lots of utility methods on web elements • Integration with Spring • Easy work with tables • State between steps • Data-driven tests
- 34. Framework has almost everything for all team members THUCYDIDES BENEFITS
- 35. Easy ATDD/BDD approach Automated Acceptance Acceptance Tests criteria Analysis Test Implementation Design Automated Acceptance Acceptance Tests criteria
- 36. Clear iteration progress @Pending tests VS iteration test suite
- 37. Less technical tests Easy to Clear Readable maintain
- 38. Happy managers
