Automated UI Tests: The How and Why with Dylan Storing-O'Dowd

Testing basic functionality of an application can be tedious and feel like a waste of time. Even so, it is something that must be done to ensure the health of the application. So how can we reduce the time spent doing these tedious tests? One answer is automated end-to-end User Interface (UI) tests.
In this session, I will discuss the basics of UI tests, how my team uses them, and what we have learned in order to improve them. Including:
• Set up and tear down
• An example of our tests
• Tips to reduce test flakiness
• Tips to reduce run time
• And what should be automated

UI tests can improve your test process if done right!

Lunch will be provided.
