I’m going to record an answer to your questions for the rest of isolation (UK), min of one per day.
If you have a question for me on the topic of automation in testing, post it here, and I’ll work my way through them. Grouping them where I can, so that we get through more questions.§§
Is it good approach in API testing to deserialize the API response into a POJO and comparing the expected object with resulted object or i can use third party tools like Approval Tests to verify entire response body
What is the context where you need to check the entire response?
Usually, consumers use only a subset* of the responses of an API. Which means that the integration contract between one consumer and one producer relies only on a subset of the response.
* The case where this subset is equal to the set itself is only by coincidence. Future changes in the response to fulfill the need of other consumers do not alter the contract between the first consumer and the producer.
Why isn’t there more Frontend automation being written in JavaScript rather than other languages like Java and C#?
I would of thought it made sense to use Javascript / Node as that is closer to what the FE devs are familiar with and hopefully allow devs and testers to work closer together, instead of being siloed.
Hello Richard,
This is Petros from MoT Athens.
So my question is this:
We have proposed to a client a specific automation tool (Selenium with Java) but he/she keep asking for a different automation tool that we don’t have so much experience (and in different language too). Client has an external consultant and pushes us for different things that we recommend. Unfortunately my company said ok to the client “because is the client”. So what do you think about that? Should we always agree with the client? My team is frustrated about this
I have automation tests on Jenkis, which is installed ond Windows Server machine, so there’s some issue with the tests for Internet Exproler. When one test fail, some IE driver or IE is “stucked” in Task Manager and and all tests after that one are failing, driver want start.
Do you have any clue how to resolve to issue or are you maybe familiar with this?
