Monday 19th & Tuesday 20th November 2007, London, UK XP Day 7 is a two day international conference for anyone who wants to create software better. XP Day...
hello all, I'm working on an university project regarding the design of innovative help functions for software programs. Currently, i'm trying to get an...
Thought this may interest the group - ABC: An Introduction to Agile Programming http://www.cio.com/article/100501#1 rgds, Daniel Szuc Principal Usability...
Hi folks, I'm about to embark on two projects that will involve a lot of web development. I thought I would take this opportunity to try and upgrade my web...
Hi Alain, One word: Watir. http://wtr.rubyforge.org/ Watir is "Web application testing in Ruby". It allows you to create tests, programmed in Ruby, that...
If you are using asp.net, there is an nunitasp out there (http://nunitasp.sourceforge.net/) that extends nunit to test web pages in much the manner you...
Alain, You can use Selenium for Unit Testing your UI. The nice thing about it is that you can also use Selenium to do acceptance testing. For unit testing, you...
... That is a Customer Test system. The best unit tests leave out extraneous units, such as web servers and browsers. The best possible way to learn unit...
I actually asked this very same question to one of my friends a few months back. He steered me toward Selenium too. From my light use of it, Selenium seems to...
... ... None of these are for _unit_ tests. Please write as many tests as possible to the HTML layer, or lower, for best results. Don't be fooled by pretty...
Talking about Watir... for asp.net there is also WatiN. http://watin.sourceforge.net/ I havent tested it in a real project but it looks simple enough. -- ...
... As Bruce points out, there's WATIR (and WATIJ and some others) for allowing your tests to drive the browser. There HttpUnit, JwebUnit, and such for...
BTW, thanks for all the excellent leads folks. You've given me a couple of days of investigation to do at least (hum... Not sure I should be thankful after all...
... Convince your HTML generating modules to generate HTML as if a web browser had called them. Then use the XPath query technique to reach into the HTML and...
OK, thx. That was the next step up I was thinking of taking, i.e. instead of just diffing the HTML against a known past output, just assert that the HTML...
Alain, What is the focus of your testing? Are you trying to determine if a given query produces the correct output? Or are you trying to test a Use Case...
... This all sounds rather far from the concept of unit testing as defined in Test Driven Development. It sounds more like acceptance or customer testing, to...
... I agree that testing pathes through several pages is acceptance testing, not unit testing. But I think testing the behaviour of a single web page...
My apologies if you've already received this as a member of another user group. What: Diaspar Software is proud to present the fourth installment of the XP Day...
... It fits *some* definitions of unit testing, but not the one I generally use. I generally use the TDD concept of unit testing, rather than the ones...
... Thx Brian. I'll have a look. ... Right. When I test non-web GUIs, that's the approach I use. Except that contrarily to Mike, I don't use a MockView. I find...
... I don't really want to argue about the definition of unit vs acceptance testing. I agree with you that testing which requires deployment sucks, especially...
