Check out this in-depth post about integrating Appltiools Eyes Automated Visual Testing with SilkTest – including code examples. From the post: 

If you are already using Selenium, and want to enhance your capabilities, increase coverage and optimize maintenance efforts – then automated visual testing could be exactly what you’re looking for. In a webinar we co-hosted with our friends at Sauce Labs, Selenium expert Dave Haeffner shared awesome Selenium tips & tricks, especially helpful for test […]

Adam Carmi, Applitools’ co-founder and VP R&D, gave a talk at GTAC 2015, where he presented 5 tips for creating reliable and scalable automated visual tests, which help avoid visual regressions across multiple browsers and devices. Watch Adam’s GTAC talk: (slide deck can be found here) 

In previous write-ups by Selenium expert Dave Haeffner (published here, on the Applitools blog), he covered the basics of automated visual UI testing and how to execute it. Following those posts, many of our readers requested more in-depth information on how automated visual testing fits into existing automated testing practices. Some of the questions received […]

These Twitter mentions made us very happy indeed, so we would like to thank these Applitools users that gave us a shoutout, telling us and their followers how much they enjoy our visual test automation solution!

Adam Carmi, Applitools’ co-founder and CTO, gave a talk at last month’s Selenium Conference, where he presented Automated Visual Testing – and how it can easily be integrated into existing Selenium tests, to create a robust and scalable UI testing, which enables companies to avoid visual regressions and UI bugs across browsers and devices Watch […]

Sure, everything can be found online these days, but sometimes it’s difficult to sift through all the sheer volume of information, to find the good stuff. Our friend Dave Haeffner (Test Automation expert extraordinaire and author of The Selenium Guidebook) has compiled the best Selenium resources into one comprehensive list, which covers: 

The agile development movement is making testers shift their tests to the left. From a practical perspective, this means that the testers are getting closer to the frontend developers, and the testers’ automated tests need to be integrated with the developers’ tests (I discussed this in considerable length here, if you’re interested). This is interesting. […]

As a genre, fantasy is often looked down upon by fans and writers of science fiction. There are some who argue that the worlds created by JRR Tolkien were influenced by the events of the early twentieth century. No matter how you interpret his works, one of the central themes of The Hobbit and The […]

There is something similar about driving and testing. While testing is an exercise in creativity, parts of it are boring — just like driving is. Regression testing is tedious in that you need to do the same tests over and over again, every time a release is created, just like your daily commute. And just like during […]

As front end developers, our job is to present visual information that looks good and gives users cues to help them understand content quickly. Even a static, text-only web page is more than a collection of words. The page has a title that appears at the top. The title may be bold or in a […]
