Web Technology for Testers; Testing Beneath the GUI
I'm pleased to say, I'm presenting a full day tutorial at Eurostar in December entitled, "Web Technology for Testers; Testing Beneath the GUI". Here's the abstract.
The four things that are required to perform automated web testing beneath the GUI are:
- A basic understanding of the architecture of the web, some HTML and how HTTP works.
- A way to identify the tests that can be executed beneath the GUI.
- A free tool - Webdriver™ - complete with source code and all documentation.
- A safe, working test environment to experiment.
This tutorial provides all four.
I'm bringing a wireless network and web server hosting multiple test websites for you to experiment with. At the end of the session, you will be able to test 80% of the functionality of your own intranet and publicly available websites. This session is aimed at testers and test managers who need to understand the basics of web technology and automated tools.
Key Points:
- Learn the key concepts of the web and internet
- Learn how a free automated tool can be used
- Test a real website using an automated tool
