Guaranteeing that your application doesn't break while constantly shipping new features is tough. Obviously, with a continually growing app or site, you can't test everything manually all the time!Test automation and monitoring are crucial to avoiding shipping broken apps and sites. But what functionality should you test? When should you run your tests? And aren't complex test suites super slow?In this session, we'll get our hands on Playwright, the end-to-end testing framework, and learn how to automate headless browsers to ensure that you confidently ship new features.

Node.js recently shipped an experimental test runner. This talk will explore the test runner's architecture and API, and show how to use it with other core modules to create a testing experience with no external dependencies. This talk will also look at potential future additions to the test runner.

Dockerized services are an excellent tool for creating repeatable, isolated environments ideal for integration tests. In this session, we'll look at the Testcontainers libraries which provide flexible and intuitive API for programmatically controlling lifecycle of your service dependencies in Docker containers. Running databases, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and even cloud technologies, straight from your test code ensures environment config is always up-to-date and consistent during local development and in CI pipelines.You’ll learn everything necessary to start adding powerful integration tests to your codebase without the headache of managing external service dependencies manually!

Ever wondered what is the best way to end-to-end test your custom command line utilities? In this talk Florian Rappl will give you some insights what you can do to automatically verify your CLI tools and avoid regression.- Introduction: Why test CLI tools- Challenges: File system pollution, network and database issues, environment variables- Demo: Showcase issues with a demo CLI tool - Solutions: Test plan implementation, choosing the right level of containerization- Demo: Show solution using the previous CLI tool- Conclusion

In this talk, David will talk about 5 habits that you can follow to ensure the same quality as your production code and building test suites that are robust, consistent and help you debug the issues quickly.- Typical journey for teams adopting test automation - 5 habits to follow while building your test suite - Our learnings from a recent refactoring activity

What are the aspects you should think when choosing an automation framework. Some main differences on available frameworks.Explain the main differences between the most known frameworks for automation: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright and Robot Framework. Positives and negatives about the frameworks. Depending on the needs of the project your work what is the best framework to use. Small talk about how frameworks integrate with some test management tools.

In this talk, I want to introduce you to both frontend and backend performance testing and why a medley of these testing activities are needed to make sure that your website is performant. I'll also give a quick walkthrough as to how tools such as xk6-browser can help with running both protocol-level (how performance testing is normally run through concurrent interactions at the protocol layer) and browser-level tests (testing with real browsers to provide a more realistic performance test).By the end of this talk, you should be equipped with new knowledge regarding frontend and backend performance testing which you can apply to your work projects.

DevOps.js Conf 2022

How to update hundreds of projects all at once? With organizations rapidly growing, demand for the scalability of the teams grows which directly impacts projects structure and ownership. The usual dilemma is mono- vs. multi-repos, but ... What if I tell you that it does not matter much? Both approaches can punch you in the face at some point, so perhaps it is better to think bottom-up. Today I will walk you through some of the biggest challenges that exist in both approaches and those are managing dependencies across a few hundred projects, global code updates and many other things. I will also show you examples of how we solved this inside Infobip through building our own internal libraries. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Performance testing expertise that is developed for a long time. In order to measure your server performance you need a tool that can efficiently simulate a lot of abilities and give you good measurements according your analysing criteria.Autocannon NPM library gave me exactly that - that library is super easy to install and has a very simple API to work with. Within a really short amount of time you can start do performance testing to your application and get good measurements in development environment and in your performance labs, and generate complicated testing scenarios.In this talk I will introduce Autocannon, explain how to efficiently analyse your server performance with it, and show how it helped me to understand complicated performance issues in my Node.js servers. At the end of this lecture, developers will be able to have the ability to integrate a fast and easy tool in order to measure your server performance.

Visual Regression tests components via screenshot matching. I'll show how you do that in three different libraries/frameworks. Additionally, I will use Storybook to extract the components from your SPA choice.

It’s a trap” - a call or feeling we all might be familiar with, not only when it comes to Star Wars. It’s signalizing a sudden moment of noticing imminent danger. This situation is an excellent allegory for an unpleasant realization in testing. Imagine having the best intentions when it comes to testing but still ending up with tests failing to deliver you any value at all? Tests who are feeling like a pain to deal with? When writing frontend tests, there are lots of pitfalls on the way. In sum, they can lead to lousy maintainability, slow execution time, and - in the worst-case - tests you cannot trust. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this session, I will talk about developers’ common mistakes (including mine), at least from my experience. And, of course, on how to avoid them. Testing doesn’t need to be painful, after all. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

For modern agile teams, release velocity is very critical. Unfortunately, one of the biggest bottlenecks for faster release velocity is testing times. Even after teams implement end-to-end test automation, long testing times significantly delay the pipelines. This delay means developers get feedback of their efforts very late, which can snowball, affecting the shipping velocity. Hence test execution time becomes one of the most critical KPIs for any business that wants to ship features faster than the approaching deadlines. LambdaTest helps modern dev teams release faster executing tests faster on a scalable, reliable test cloud. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

As an industry, we understand that effective test automation is a key enabler - or inhibitor to - realizing the potential of DevOps. While automation is critical to innovating with speed and quality, very few of us are happy with the results. This talk will cover how low-code test automation solutions - like mabl - enable teams to embed automated tests directly into the development pipeline, strategies to overcome traditional challenges with test automation, and how to build a foundation for an efficient and effective test strategy. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Coming into software with an exploratory testing mindset is like coming to a multi-layer canvas with lots of information and an open ended task: find what we may have missed! This is the assignment for us all in software teams in our quest for quality. Framing the search of how our system falls short of expectations is easier when we are able to see software from its user’s perspective. However, useful tests aren’t a collection of end-to-end tests we automate, but great tests to leave behind will decompose the testing problem differently. In this talk, we learn about using architecture as a filter in decomposing tests and look at an example of taking control over the API responses to test a React frontend. Users don’t know or care if the problem is in the frontend and services your team provided if it fails to meet their expectations but you care. Granularity of feedback matters. Recognizing the same problems in incomplete scope - half-done features or only in frontend or APIs - is a skillset the software industry needs to be building. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Many modern web frameworks use components as their building blocks. In this talk, I will show component testing using Cypress - and I mean "show" literally. You will see the component running inside a real browser, you will interact with the component like a real user, and you can debug the component using the real browser's DevTools. Finally, I will go through the current open source and commercial options for visually testing the component's styles and rendering. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

TestJS Summit - January, 2021

Even though we write tests for our web applications, the reality is that bugs still happen. Fortunately, many of these are easily preventable paying more attention to the warnings from our apps. However, it's often so easy to put them under the rug and never come back until we find a bug in production, which leads to hundreds if now thousands of warnings appearing in our test output. This talk is about how to prevent this situation and how to get out of it. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Technical debt and testing have a long and entangled history. Across many organizations, teams struggle to define “technical debt” and what should fall into the “tech debt” bucket. Testing commonly suffers the fate of being categorized as tech debt, and consequently isn’t prioritized. Defining tech debt, and even rebranding it, can help your team to prioritize testing and reduce the negative stigma around tech debt. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Shipping bug-less code to production is (obviously) impossible, but still - our users deserve the best experience we can give them. Not only that - if we gain confidence in the way we build our software, we can sleep better at night knowing that it won’t explode in the middle of the night. In this talk we're going to cover something I call "The Testing Spectrum" - a set of tools, practices and mindset of shipping high quality code to production. From prettier all the way to monitoring, let's avoid your next production incident together! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

I’ll be the first to admit: writing tests? Not all that much fun! And that’s coming from somebody who maintains a test runner in their spare time. Once you have some tests though, you can have confidence. And once you have confidence, you can make changes. And changes are what’s needed to build awesome products. So let’s not talk about API details, let’s talk about getting testing done. About being better engineers. About building awesome products. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

In this workshop, I cover not only what WebdriverIO can do, but also how you'll be using it day-to-day. I've built the exercises around real-world scenarios that demonstrate how you would actually set things up. It's not just "what to do," but specifically "how to get there." We'll cover the fundamentals of Automated UI testing so you can write maintainable, useful tests for your website and/or web app.

As a developer, you need to deliver fast, and you simply don't have the time to constantly think about security. Still, if something goes wrong it's your job to fix it, but security testing blocks your automation, creates bottlenecks and just delays releases, especially with graphQL...but it doesn't have to... NeuraLegion's developer-first Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) scanner enables developers to detect, prioritise and remediate security issues EARLY, on every commit, with NO false positives / alerts, without slowing you down. Join this workshop to learn different ways developers can access NeuraLegion's DAST scanner &amp; start scanning without leaving the terminal! We will be going through the set up end-to-end, whilst setting up a pipeline for a vulnerable GraphQL target, running security tests and looking at the results. Table of contents: - What developer-first DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) actually is and how it works - See where and how a modern, accurate dev-first DAST fits in the CI/CD - Integrate NeuraLegion's scanner with GitHub Actions - Understand how modern applications, GraphQL and other APIs and authentication mechanisms can be tested - Fork a repo, set up a pipeline, run security tests and look at the results <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Do your automated tests include a11y checks? This workshop will cover how to get started with jest-axe to detect code-based accessibility violations, and Lighthouse CI to validate the accessibility of fully rendered pages. No amount of automated tests can replace manual accessibility testing, but these checks will make sure that your manual testers aren't doing more work than they need to. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
