Selenium Israel Meetup #17

Hello everyone! Our next Meetup will take place on Sep 11th at the Wix MeetUp Space, Bitan 26, Tel Aviv Port (In front of Japanika).

Our first talk will be given by Roi Ashkenazi (https://il.linkedin.com/in/roi-ashkenazi-12032b75) from Wix. He will describe how Wix manages to run thousands of Selenium tests every day at a very high level of stability by utilizing the test state pattern. The test state pattern allows Wix to automatically detect, retry and quarantine flaky tests to minimize false positives. Roi will explain the architecture of the solution, show code examples and share implementation tips.

In our second talk, Adam Carmi (https://il.linkedin.com/in/adamcarmi) (yes it's me!) from Applitools will share advanced test automation techniques for responsive apps and sites. Automatically testing responsive sites and apps can be a challenge, due to the need to cover all supported layouts, their respective navigation, and visible content. In this session we will implement a complete Selenium-based automated test for a popular responsive website from scratch. You will learn how to effectively design responsive page objects, implement generic tests that work for all the layouts of your app, control the browser's viewport size in order to accurately target layout transition points, incorporate layout-specific assertions in your tests, and visually validate the correctness of your app's layout​. We will also share tips and best practices for test planning and execution.
