What developers should know about acceptance tests details

What developers should know about acceptance tests details

Many people think that testing is a subject that only testers should worry about them. I completely disagree with that statement. I can event say that developers can write better tests technically and faster. They know the application. They have technical knowledge about creating reusable code and good architecture. Nevertheless, they shouldn’t write an end to end acceptance tests. They are too focused on functionalists that write. So it is possible that they repeat the testing patterns from the development time, not on overall application image.

Beside of the normal usage, Selenium WebDriver has a lot of extra capabilities. The one of the most clever and not usual use of end-to-end testing is checking if web page fulfills accessibility rules.

Accessibility is a very broad topic, but there are some guidelines how to create the web application, that people with some disabilities (visual, hearing or manual) can use it. If we learn how to do this and on what elements we should focus to provide the accessible web site, it turns out to be very simple. There is few number of rules keep and that’s it. Screen readers or other software will take care of the rest.

Some time ago I faced a big dilemma. In our company, we have two teams: back-end and front-end. When we start thinking about end-to-end testing in our current project, the discussion begins. We were thinking about the best technology to do it. We are using AngularJs in this project, so we want to take advantage of Protractor library. It is the library for testing Angular Single Page Applications without waiting after each action.

We have two possibilities.

– write in TypeScript in JS environment,
– write in C# and .NET environment

Today I want to show you the method to minimize the initial amount of work. When we decide to use Page Objects pattern in our test code, we should map our web application pages to classes. It is not a creative task. That’s why we can try to automate it. By the definition of Page Object, we should take HTML structure and find all significant places and create class members for them. It sounds easy, but it may raise some problems. There are few different tools to generate Page Objects. We can notice two approaches among them.
