In one of our projects, we recently started using Cypress for end-to-end testing. Cypress executes tests written in JavaScript or TypeScript. However, we wanted to first perform some data-preparation operations using C#. In fact, we needed to run Cypress tests from NUnit C# tests. In this article, I’m sharing how this can be done 🙂 It will also be useful if you use another testing framework than NUnit, but the examples are based on it. Table of...

LukaszPosted on Imagine you’re starting to develop a new feature… and this time you decide to do it right. So, you started with Test-Driven development, because it’s part of your ethic to write tests (a surgeon never asks whether they should wash their hands before an surgery). It felt so good. And it felt so right. You’re satisfied with your code design and the fact that you’ve started with tests. And hey, the code coverage is pretty good too! You deployed this code to production and it is working rea...

W poprzednim wpisie wspomniałam o narzędziu Cypress, które umożliwia nam uruchamianie testów z poziomu przeglądarki dzięki czemu bardzo przyjemnie się z nim pracuje. Dziś pokażę Wam jak pisać testy i jak je uruchamiać.

Od ponad roku rozwijam framework do automatyzacji testów. Przez ten czas miałem okazję pracować przy kilku projektach związanych z automatyzacją, gdzie poznałem wspaniałych ludzi i za każdym razem miałem okazję spojrzeć na testowanie automatyczne z innej perspektywy. Widziałem kod doskonały (tak, istnieją takie! :)) oraz taki, o którym chciałbym jak najszybciej zapomnieć. Dzisiaj skupię się na tym drugim i przedstawię wam 3 sprawdzone sposoby na to, jak zepsuć testy automatyczne...

If we think about advanced website development, sooner or later we’ll deal with JavaScript Task Runners. One of them is Gulp – a library available in NPM, which enables us to significantly automate our work. Gulp facilitates a compilation of Sass or Less files to CSS format; it allows to use Autoprefixer (a tool that will ensure the compatibility of our CSSs with multiple browsers) as well as to watch the progress of our work in many browsers/ devices in real time.

Remember that this post is not about why we should automate our functional tests. It is also not about technical details of writing tests in any particular programming language or by using any particular framework.Initial investigations Before we start writing any code we should think about best possible technical solution. The goal of this article is not to encourage using any specific framework or library. However, some crucial aspects should be considered here. First of all, we should think about o...
