I’ve talked before about how Selenified supports web services and API testing, and as such, we are constantly working to simplify this experience, and expand out the support. One of the features included in the Selenified 3.0.1 release is the ability to pass in custom headers. Previously, all calls made had the Content-Type set to […]
One of the overarching goals of the Selenified testing framework is to provide testers with a tool that reduces spin-up time on projects and enables them to very quickly get up to speed with writing tests. As such, it was very important that the process of setting it up is just as simplified. For this […]
Q1 2018 came and went quickly this year, and while I scrambled to get many things done, I did at least manage to push out a new version of Selenified! It’s out on GitHub, up in Maven Central, and also, yes, available on our site. We managed to cram in a bunch of updates and […]
I’ve talked before about how important it is to make your BDD glue code as specific as possible, so that anyone reading your Gherkin, knows exactly what that action is supposed to perform. Even my co-workers have noticed this as a problem, and have suggested implementations to help. In a post several years ago, I […]
It’s been a while since I wrote about Cucumber, but hopefully I’m not too rusty. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve recently gotten back into Cucumber. For my current client, I am developing a framework which allows testing the same behavior on multiple applications. To me, this is reminiscent of my first exposure […]
Appium and Selenium are great tools, which allows interaction with and manipulation of mobile devices. Both are cross-platform tools, meaning they work for automating across multiple devices; Appium for both iOS and Android and Selenium for multiple OS and browser combinations. Appium and Selenium are both built on top of WebDriver, similar to Protractor, and […]
Work with my current client mostly consists of building an automated testing framework, one that utilizes Cucumber, an automated behavioral testing framework, and Gherkin, the language that Cucumber uses to define tests in plain English. The end goal is for the framework to reach a sufficient amount of coverage across the client’s application, so that […]
So, earlier this year, when the Selenified press release was sent out, I got some great feedback from Alan Richardson. I was thrilled this had somehow popped up on his radar, and even more excited that he took the time to not only take a look at the framework, but also to share his thoughts. Several of […]
Sometimes the action you want to perform isn’t available via Selenified. Luckily this doesn’t mean you need to abandon Selenified. Custom Actions If you need to perform the custom action, use the app object to retrieve the driver. Then perform the action that you need to. This is the standard Selenium WebDriver so you can do […]
Selenified is an open source testing framework optimized for automating front-end UI and API testing. With many improvements being made in the last few months, Selenified is now available on Maven Central to be dropped in to any project. Here’s a quick guide on how to get started writing and running tests with Selenified. The main […]
