Selenium - Page 2

A release candidate for Selenium 4 is here! This is a really great time to familiarize yourself with the latest Selenium features. Here’s a list of resources to help you do so.

(Editor’s Note: This post has been recently updated for accuracy and completeness. It was originally published in March 2019 by Al Sargent.)  Have you tried using Selenium IDE for your…

Jason’s team needed a reliable way to test their application across these browsers. So, Jason and two colleagues at ThoughtWorks did research on the available tools. Finding nothing that met their needs, they began writing what became Selenium.

Applitools lets users inspect the entire document, or just selected pages. The scope of comparison matches the needs of the test. Users can target specific sections of a PDF for testing and ignore sections that are not relevant to a test. And, armed with the Applitools layout algorithm, users can validate a PDF layout even if the internal text has changed.

What does it take to make a difference in the lives of 75,000 people? Applitools has reached 75,000 students enrolled in Test Automation University, a global online platform led by…

Using AI to intelligently identify discrepancies between a base image and the test run, capturing the DOM for easy debugging, controlling A/B testing for variants of your application, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines and Jira…I could go on.

This experience has turned me into advocate for Applitools. I see a lot of potential of this kind of testing. I recognize the benefit for the current project my team is working on.

The Playwright open source automation framework has released a Java API for cross-browser end-to-end testing! See how to install Playwright, create tests, and implement the Page Object Model design pattern.

Ultrafast testers seamlessly resolve unexpected browser behavior as they check in their code. This happens because, in less than 10 minutes on average, they know what differences exist. They could not do this if they had to wait the nearly three hours needed in the legacy approach. Who wants to wait half a day to see if their build worked?

What do you think about cross browser testing? Developers likely develop on only one browser – and maybe only one operating system. How does an app maker ensure that defects…

There is a lot of buzz around Visual Testing these days. You might have read or heard stories about the benefits of visual testing. You might have heard claims like,…
