Continuous Integration Infrastructure

CI Infra Workflow

AutoTestR – Page Object Auto Generation

• AutoTestR uses node.js framework to parse the DOM for the page and generate corresponding test object code.

https://github.com/Rhoynar/AutoTestR

AutoTestR Graph Based Test Case Generation

- Each node represents a page-object (or rather business object)

- Each node specifies what are its exported interfaces, what are its next states

- Based on this graph, AutoTestR auto-generates test case skeletons as well!

- Example Test Cases:- Login->Unregistered Page- Login->Main Page->CreateUser-

>End- Login->Main Page->SearchUser-

>End- Login->Main Page->DeleteUser-

>End- Login->Main Page->Unregistered

EmailVerify: Verify Email Notification Receipt

UseCase- Web Application Sends a Notification/Email

to Users- Test Automation Wants to Verify if Email has

been received?- Email with certain Subject Line has been

received?- Email with certain content has been

received? Etc

https://github.com/Rhoynar/EmailVerify

Use EmailVerify Library

- Simple to use: startMonitor(), verify(), stopMonitor()

- Multiple variations of use-cases and regular expression parsing support!

BDD/Cucumber based QA-Automation Framework

https://github.com/Rhoynar/qa-automation

• Project for barebones QA Automation Development Using:• Java• BDD• Cucumber• TestNG• Maven

What is BDD (Behavior Driven Development)?• BDD Keeps Business Behavior in sync with Software

Development• Extends Test Driven Development to cover Business

Acceptance Tests

How can I write tests without actual code?

• BDD Uses Simple English Syntax (Gherkin)• BDD uses example based ‘Scenarios’• Each ‘Scenario’ is noted in the form of ’Given’, ‘When’, ‘Then’

Outside In Approach

• Start with a conversation

• Determine the business value

• Provide Examples of use

BDD Example:

Simple Login Scenario

Step Definitions

Does this only work with Web Based Applications?• BDD can be work with any type of application!• We recently used BDD to load builds onto

Android Device.

Scenario: Load Android Build onto device

Given Device is ConnectedWhen I load the buildThen Device is detected in ADB

Automatic Conversion to Code

public void device_is_connected() {…}

public void i_load_the_build() {…}

public void device_detected_in_adb() {…}

Building Blocks of Scenarios• BDD Allows to build on top of existing scenarios easily• Existing step-defs can be re-used, only new steps need to be

written• Less Code Repetition – better regression framework

Scenario: Load Android Build onto device

Given Device is ConnectedWhen I load the buildAnd I reset the deviceThen Device is detected in ADB

With only one additional step, I have a new test case

public void device_is_connected() {…}

public void i_load_the_build() {…}

public void i_reset_device(){…}

public void device_detected_in_adb() {…}

Demo

• Yahoo Login Example • Source Code: https://github.com/Rhoynar/qa-automation

Summary

• BDD minimizes communications, hides implementation details and provides robust regression tests.• BDD Provides Building blocks of scenarios and step-

definitions, so incremental test can be written easily.
