To Selenium or Not To Selenium?

Submitted by Eric Pierce on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 14:51

I've been using Capybara with the Selenium driver for automated testing of a Rails project via Cucumber. Certain scenarios involve dealing with client-side Javascript (such as confirming a popup message before deleting a record), which is the reason I started using the Selenium driver. But I soon discovered that Selenium is slow, taking three or four times as long as the standard Rack-test driver.

Automating procedures using Sikuli

Submitted by Eric Pierce on Sat, 08/14/2010 - 16:49

A few days ago, I came across an interesting open-source GUI testing application called Sikuli. This tool promises to automate just about any procedure involving graphical elements displayed on the screen, using a vision engine to intelligently match regions of your GUI display to widgets where you might click, drag, or type things. Sikuli is distributed under the permissive MIT License.

Automated SQA

Automated Software Quality Advantages:

  • Speed
  • Automated Tests are 100% objective
  • Continuous Testing
  • Testing Coverage

Some perceived disadvantages of automated software testing are:

  • Increased cost
  • Delayed (or non-existent) ROI
  • Increased complexity

All of these disadvantages can be overcome by an effective and well enforced automated testing plan.
