Tales from a front-end dev going on call
Steve Hornsey will share his experience of going on call, what he learned and how it made him a better developer.
The Ultimate Mashup: Combining e2e Tests With BDD Specifications
Testing the workflow of any application can be challenging to automate. Unit tests are great to perform isolated testing on a given frontend component. However, it proves difficult to test a full screen workflow across components, nevermind the interactions taking place across the technology stack.
End to end testing frameworks provide an opportunity to address such challenges. However, even though such obstacles are overcome, the testing format adopted by e2e testing frameworks isn’t really stakeholder friendly. It can take time for new developers to understand the workflow and tests, especially if they are new to e2e testing.
In this talk Carly will share her experiences on how combining Behavioural Driven Development specifications with e2e testing frameworks can help produce more accessible user testing. She’ll also share an example of best practices using Cucumber and Protractor, and discuss the options you have when looking to test your application end to end.
