6. Development Scheme
I believe he
wants…
Manager
Customer Developer

7. Development Problems

8. What’s doing?
Customer

9. In our case
I know what I
want…
I know how
to do it…

10. We want…
 TDD
 Build manager
 Continuous Integration
 Simple Object Pattern
 Simple Result Analysis
10

11. We use…
 Java
 Selenium 2 (aka WebDriver)
 TestNG
 AutoIT
11

12. Test Driven Development
Write a test that fails
Write a test script code
that can’t be compiled
Eliminate
redundancy
Make the code work
The mantra of Test-Driven Development (TDD) is “red, green, refactor”

13. Maven
 Maven is a software project management and
comprehension tool
 Maven is a site and documentation tool
 Maven extends Ant to let you download dependencies
 Maven is a set of reusable Ant scripts
 What is wrong with Maven? – Access to repository.

14. Object Description
Controls – Links, Buttons,
Inputs, etc.
Panel – div that contains simple controls

15. Object Description
<div id=“subpanel1_3” class=“…” style=“…”>
<input id=“pageNumberInput” … > 15

16. Code of Test
Singleton
Panel.get()
.action() Return Panel
instance
.control
.controlAction()
.[action()/control]…;

…
public final Button<ControlPane> page =
new Button<ControlPane>("Name", "Locator", this);
…

&
ResourceBundle
Properties like
ControlName = [id/xpath/css]=[locator]

• Visualization (Levels, Links to source code, Screenshots,
Asserts and Exceptions)
• Traceability
HTML 19

20. Reporting Process
Log File
Message 1
HTML
CSS Message 2
JS
jquery.load()
Message 3
