Adventures in Automation

While researching information for my job about the Swagger UI and how it can be used for testing, I came across this free course, called Documenting APIs: A guide for technical writers and engineers at https://idratherbewriting.com/learnapidoc/docapis_ove…

With the last post, Testing the Swagger Petstore: Reviewing API Documentation Formatted in OpenAPI 3.0 with Swagger UI we started exploring an API with Swagger UI, such as the Swagger Petstore at https://petstore3.swagger.io/ Here, we will start exploring…

For this next project, we will be examining the test site Swagger Petstore - OpenAPI 3.0 at https://petstore3.swagger.io/ https://petstore3.swagger.io/ If we wanted to really dive deep into creating API documentation, we could use: I'dRatherBeWriting's Fr…

We've added a lot to our demo project, bun--create-playwright.

You may have noticed that in the GitLab CI / CD Pipeline for our Playwright project, in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, after our scripts has run, in the Test stage, there is a subsection called "artifacts" with certain paths to something called "playwright-repo…

Developers need the option to test out their feature branch before merging it into main.

So far, we have reviewed how to review code with ES Lint + Prettier and Typecheck, how to set up and run smoke tests, how to run all Playwright + TypeScript tests, and reviewed the HTML report of results.

Earlier, we went over how we could create scripts in the package.json file of our Playwright framework to add typechecking, linting, and formatting your code with prettier.

Picture a login screen, such as The-Internet / Login.

When we installed bun, a new package manager owned by Anthropic, then ran "bun create playwright", a new automation framework was stood up, along with sample tests, and a Playwright configuration file.

Finding the best locator for a web element can be a hassle: Right clicking on an element in Google Chrome.

Now that we've installed bun, Anthropic's package manager, scaffolded a Playwright framework and closely examined the results, and added typechecking with TypeScript's compiler, it's time to add ways to check the code with lint, and reformat the code with…

Now that we have installed bun, Anthropic's package manager, and scaffolded a Playwright framework and closely examined the results, we are going to explore with our Bun-Create-Playwright project ways to check if our code is correct.

We covered in the last blog post how to install bun, a new package manager.

New job?

If I presentation to the Sydney Testers Meetup in Australia, from my home in the Massachusetts, through Zoom, does that make me an international speaker?

I've been elected to be on the Board of Directors of the Software Quality Group of New England (sqgne.org) on the volunteer leadership committee!

Last week, I saw that there was a new half day workshop by one of the creators of Rapid Software Testing, James Bach, Testing and AI Workshop, and that they were offering a 50% discount for anyone who was unemployed, so I just had to attend.

I have two announcements: I've accepted a job offer as a Senior SDET role at AAA Life Insurance Company, and will be starting Monday, June 15th!

With AI, what is useful when it comes to testing and what is workslop?

"Open-Source Malware: Defending Your Software Supply Chain From Evolving Threats" will be the topic of the next Software Quality Group of New England (sqgne.org) meeting.

Are any software testing Meetups looking for a speaker?

How would you intercept a network request and use the data for assertions?

If you want to do some basic visual checking to see if there has been any deviation from your baseline of images, you can use Playwright.

Are you in Boston?
