Miro Guide testing with Selenium Core
One aspect of testing Miro has just gotten a lot more fun!
Yesterday Paul released and update to the Miro Guide. A portion of the testing of the guide updates was accomplished using a few automated test suites driven by Selenium Core. We chose to use selenium core because we wanted to integrate with our existing test case management tool, litmus as well as allow everyone to be able to participate in the testing.
This testing is for the miro test channel guide, which is where the development takes place before updating to the live guide. It would be great to get more volunteers and a greater variety of browsers tested. If you just want to give it a spin, you can open the test suites directly in your browser of choice:
- FrontPageNav: checks the basic links and layout of the guides main page.
- Register User Actions:logs into a test account verifies some of the actions of a logged in user.
- Submit Feed: error checking of the submit feed form.
There are a few more test suites, and if you want to participate in guide testing, the best thing to do is to go to Litmus select the testchannelguide2.parti… test run, enter your configuration, select the selenium (automated) test group and follow the very simple instructions. Testing via litmus will allow us to track the tests run, errors and browser used.
It would be great to get some feedback from others familiar with using selenium. If you would like to get involved in the test creation process, here is a page with much more details about miro guide testing with selenium.
