As one of our resident security guys, I thought I might write up a quick guide about what not to do with password management. As long as you build a website or web service, at some point you’re most likely going to have to store a password. Unfortunately for many developers out there (in organizations […]
Introduction Quarter 4 for Coveros has been action packed for SecureCI™. We performed several major updates to our SecureCI™ version, bringing the software tools up to date, and making them more user and out-of-the-box friendly. For those unaware, SecureCI™ is an integrated stack of tools that provides version control, wiki, project/issue management, and code analysis […]
Tagging Basics Cucumber provides a simple method to organize features and scenarios by user determined classifications. This is implemented using the convention that any space delimited string found in a feature file that is prefaced with the commercial at (@) symbol is considered a tag. Any string may be used as a tag and any […]
Introduction The more I have gotten into developing testing frameworks based on Cucumber, the more I’ve seen how important writing effective cucumber tests are. The feature files provided earlier are not a good example of cucumber tests, and below we will cover why, and how to turn these into effectively written test cases. A badly […]
Errors on report.js I recently ran into an issue when compiling my html friendly cucumber reports. For larger tests run, when attempting to view the reports generated in the cucumber-html-report, the screen appeared blank. After some debugging, I noticed that the reports.js file generated was abruptly terminated. The true cause of the issue is still […]
With large complex software applications, builds can often be split into different steps and tasks creating a series of jobs for our build pipeline. On my current project we are utilizing Jenkins to implement Continuous Integration/Continuous Deliver (CI/CD) and between the jobs for compilation, smoke tests, acceptance tests and deployment across environments in several different VLANs, […]
I spent much of my formative years in High School and College being indoctrinated with Object-Orientated Programming (OOP). When used well, OOP provides clear modular structure for programs, defines clear interfaces, makes software easier to maintain and modify, allows multiple functions to share code (cord re-use), and reduces large, complex issues to smaller, more manageable […]
Introduction Now that we have created some simple cucumber tests and built a sturdy selenium framework, we want to setup an environment where these tests can be quickly and conveniently run against our code. Due to the nature of development, code is constantly changing, and we want to ensure that each change to the code […]
Introduction Initially this post was going to contain instructions on running tests locally, and on SecureCI. Due to the lengthiness of the post, I decided to break this up into two different posts. This post will cover just setting up and running tests locally, building on the previous posts of creating some simple cucumber tests […]
