From Visual Bugs to Smarter APIs: Mastering Testing with Percy & CodeceptJS

Join us for an insightful session where we explore two essential aspects of modern testing. Learn how to catch visual bugs before they reach your users with Percy, and dive into smarter API automation using CodeceptJS. Discover how these tools can enhance your testing workflows, ensuring faster, more reliable results across both UI and backend services.

Speaker 1: Parvathy Krishnan
Topic: "Catch Visual Bugs Before Your Users Do: Visual Testing with Percy"

Visual bugs can slip through the cracks of traditional functional testing, but they can have a huge impact on user experience. In this session, Parvathy will introduce Percy, a powerful visual testing tool that helps ensure your web application’s UI looks perfect across various environments. Learn how Percy allows you to detect visual changes and regressions, ensuring that your users see a flawless interface every time.

Takeaway:

• Why visual testing matters beyond functional testing
• How to implement Percy for seamless visual consistency
• Best practices for managing visual testing in your CI/CD pipeline

Speaker 2: Ashwin Kumar Shanmugam
Topic: "Beyond Manual Testing: Smarter API Automation with CodeceptJS"

APIs are the backbone of modern applications, and testing them is crucial to ensuring the reliability and functionality of your backend services. In this session, Ashwin will dive into CodeceptJS, an intuitive and powerful framework for API testing. Learn how CodeceptJS simplifies API testing with its easy-to-read syntax and built-in support for both REST and GraphQL APIs. Ashwin will walk through how to write automated API tests, validate responses, and integrate them into your CI/CD pipelines. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced tester, this session will help you optimize your API testing process and make your automation smarter.

Takeaway:

• Introduction to API testing with CodeceptJS
• Writing efficient test scripts for REST & GraphQL APIs
• Leveraging CodeceptJS in CI/CD for seamless automation
• Exploring Mocha, Chai, and parallel execution for faster testing
