Proposed Title: Automate your web tests using drones
Summary:
Using a web application is easy. Testing it should be easy too. Arquillian Drone makes that possible. Instead of wasting time setting up Selenium or WebDriver and deploying the application you want to test, you can skip straight to writing web tests and let the drones handle the rest.
Topics:
- Tools and Techniques
- Programming
- Java and JVM Languages
Session type: 40-minute conference session
Abstract:
Using a web application is easy. Testing it should be easy too. Arquillian Drone makes that possible.
Arquillian is an award-winning Java enterprise testing platform that enables you to write simple, yet meaningful, integration tests. It manages the server runtime, handles deployment of the application and gives you access to the application components from within the test.
Arquillian Drone builds on those capabilities by managing the Selenium or WebDriver configuration and lifecycle, giving you access to the browser controller and deployment URL inside the test. What’s left? Just tell the browser what to type, where to click, when to wait and what to expect.
This session will cover:
- Writing Selenium and WebDriver tests using Arquillian Drone
- Testing parts of the web application in isolation
- Running web tests directly from your IDE and Maven build
- Running your test on mobile devices and in the cloud
- Debugging your web tests
By attending this talk, you’ll appreciate how much heavy lifting Arquillian Drone is doing to simplify the task of using Selenium or WebDriver for automated functional testing! Instead of wasting time setting up environments, you can skip right to writing web tests.
