Automated Browser Testing in JavaScript
Workshop scheduled at 1:00-4:00 in Room 2 (Swain)
Manually testing your website after every change is a pain, but setting up a test automation tool can be even worse. Instead of struggling through Java, what if you could just use JavaScript? WebdriverIO makes automated testing friendly by providing a NodeJS interface for Selenium-based testing.
This workshop will dive deep in to WebdriverIO, an open-source library used for Selenium testing. We’ll cover all the steps to get started writing automated browser tests.
Learning Outcomes:
- Install and run WebdriverIO test scripts
- Understand the layers of automated browser testing
- Be able to integrate tests with third-party tools like Jenkins and Sauce Labs
- Have a solid list of next steps for implementing testing on their projects
Attendee Skill Level:
- Basic Node.JS
- Intermediate Javascript
- Basic command line
