It’s spring. Do we have clean tests? Any automated test we write, comes with assumptions – how the code will behave, how the setup for the test will push our tests forward, and how are expectations about it are going to be met. There’s a thing that we try not Read more…
Here’s the recording of the latest webinar. It’s about APIs and test planning. I show examples of SFDIPOT in Postman. I also explain that SFDIPOT is a test heuristic. And I explain what is a heuristic. Lots of explaining. The bulk of the session is examples and test cases, which Read more…
Let’s talk serialization. In APIs and testing context, naturally. Serialization is a technique of taking an object and dumping it into a stream. It could be a stream of bytes, zeros and ones. But in the API world, we usually serialize objects into JSON or XML. Here’s an example of Read more…
One of the coolest questions I got at TestMu conference was this: How to write clean code quickly? It sounds like a simple question at first, but it does have a lot of depth, if you start pondering about it. Let’s start with the obvious: Do more of it. Write Read more…
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. That’s the law of holes. Really, look it up. There are different sort of holes, shovels and diggers. But this time I’m talking about test automation effort kind-of-a-hole. Adding more test scripts is something inherent into development. We build new features, Read more…
One of my favorite podcast (about management of all things), is Manager Tools. Feedback is one of MT’s core practices, as you would assume, and feedback according to MT is always about the future. Think about it – You want to give someone feedback over the awful, or awesome thing Read more…
Black box, white box. Does our choice of perspective matter? We’ve landed this function declaration: public int add(int a, int b); We’re told that it adds two integer numbers. How should we test it? Let’s see, we can check that sending 2 and 3 returns 5. We can also send Read more…
Bugs. Unless you’re a bunny, you’re not invited. But if those bugs still show up, hit’em hard. In this webinar, I take a look at where bugs come from and how to counter-strike them. From how to make sure they don’t return, to how to not break working features as Read more…
Are you ready for some space exploration? Ok, we’re going on some sort of API trek, where we’ll talk about exploratory testing and how it relates to APIs. What APIs? Star Trek APIs! I love how these things come together. I’m talking about charters, session based, how automation relates to Read more…
