Taming the Beast: How to test an AJAX Application
Typically we address the problem of testing an AJAX application through a plethora of big end-to-end tests and (hopefully) high unit-test coverage. In our presentation, we’d like to outline the main problems with this approach. Testing through the GUI is expensive, gives limited insight into the system, and often take …
Using Cloud Computing to Automate Full-scale System Tests
The ultimate goals of any software-testing effort is to make the software more robust and reliable, thereby reducing support costs and increasing customer satisfaction. Recent trends to use unit testing and other techniques in the software build process help reach those goals. However with the move towards systems of interacting …
Boosting Your Testing Productivity with Groovy
Everyone knows that testing takes time, but you shouldn’t skip testing because of a hard-to-meet deadline. What can you do to be sure you’ll have the following weekend free without worrying that a sudden call will spoil the fun? The answer is to let your testing code be groovier. This …
JInjector: a Code Coverage and End-To-End Testing Framework for J2ME and RIM
A wide range of J2ME applications are GUI-rich with significant code dedicated to handle the user interface (UI). To maximize the chances of detecting bugs, effective testing of such applications require end-to-end testing on devices. Unfortunately there are few software tools suitable for testing J2ME applications. Our tool, JInjector, instruments …
The Value of Small Tests
Whenever unit-tests are written, chances are good that the code is not isolated. Many tests run against a given class/interface/function. The design didn’t consider isolating the dependencies of this function, which makes tests slower, larger, less focused, and likely depending on external dependencies (e.g. database access) which decreases the reliability. …
