Selenium Design Patterns and Best Practices

Nothing is more soul crushing than having a test suite that is all over the place and just fails randomly. If you have ever felt this way, I’ve got the cure for all your test automation flakyness blues.

In this episode Dima Kovalenko, author of Selenium Design Patterns and Best Practices shares with us the best strategies to create reusable, maintainable, stress-free Selenium tests.

The Benefits of Testing Legacy Code

Sure. We all love to test against the latest and greatest, shiny new web applications. But what happens if you need to test older legacy code?

Could there actually be a benefit to being involved in testing older code? You might be surprised by the answer. Not only can working on older code give you added job security, but it also might expand your skills – enabling you to tackle any testing effort, new or old.

Today we’ll be talking with the man sometimes referred to as “the code whisperer.” This Bob Vila of code talks with us about testing legacy applications.

Are you an automation engineer using Selenium and have a requirement that forces you to have to test against IE browsers? If so, I’m guessing you’re probably frustrated with various flaky issues that don’t occur in any other browser except Internet Explorer.

If you want to learn the secrets of how to succeed with Selenium IE automation, you’ve come to the right place. Today we’ll be test talking with Jim Evans.

Jim is one of the key contributors to the Selenium project. He is also the man behind the Selenium .NET bindings, and the Internet Explorer driver.

Test Automation with CodedUI

Do you need to automate both browser-based and window- based applications? Not sure which tool to use? I think one of the most overlooked tools for test automation is Microsoft CodedUI.

In this episode Marcel de Vries, author of the PluralSight Course Test Automation with CodedUI, will help you discover all the reasons why CodedUI might be the perfect tool for you to use in the creation of your automation awesomeness.

What do you do when QTP or UFT doesn’t automatically recognize an object in your application? I know how frustrating this can be. Before you give up, in my experience, these are the first ten things you should try/check.
