Writing Reliable End to End Tests

At ThoughtWorks we place a high value on test automation. We’ve built a lot of testing tools. We talk and write about how important testing is. And that’s because we know teams rely on tests to quickly detect and fix problems in every stage of the build pipeline. But the truth is, it’s tough to maintain or debug tests, especially end to end functional tests.

 

In this session we look at reasons why end to end tests are slow, flaky and hard to maintain. Learn how DSL's, readability, reusability, smart selectors and implicit waits solve issues around test maintenance. We also look at how Gauge and Taiko, two free and open source test frameworks, implement these design principles for reliable browser based testing.
