A Getting Started Guide to Setting Up Jenkins

The goal of this getting started guide is to help teams get Jenkins continuous integration (CI) servers configured, and discover how to make a newly deployed CI infrastructure fully operational. Jenkins is a leading open source CI server. It is flexible, providing hundreds of plugins to support building, testing, and deployment, and is capable of automating any project. Jenkins CI infrastructure can be deployed to on-prem, in the cloud using configuration management tools, and third-party vendor.

Getting Started with Web Accessibility Testing

Web accessibility testing, also known as digital accessibility testing, is a subset of usability testing that ensures anyone can access and use your digital content (website, apps, etc.) at any time. This includes people with disabilities such as vision, hearing, literacy, physical, and cognitive disabilities. With around (or over 1 billion people) living with a disability, the calls for inclusion are growing louder by the day.

Better Together: Why You Should Leverage Emulators and Simulators for Web App Testing

The mobile vs. desktop battle for web supremacy is neck and neck, and mobile has the advantage. Mobile devices now account for about half of all web traffic worldwide, a figure that’s expected to rise to nearly 75%—or over 3.7 billion people—by 2025. Websites that are difficult to use, buggy, or slow to load on mobile devices are bad for business.

Selenium Grid: Build vs Buy

Selenium Grid existed even before the term CI/CD was coined. It was one of the first software pieces that enabled developers and testers to get fast feedback by parallelizing their test runs. With Selenium Grid, there was no need to wait eternally for the whole test suite to run sequentially. It was one of the first enablers of the current Software Development Life Cycle.

Write Great Cucumber Tests

Behavior-driven development (BDD) is an Agile software development process encouraging collaboration between developers, QA and non-technical participants in a software project. Cucumber is an example of a JavaScript (JS) methodology that enables BDD. It helps to lay a test automation foundation by embracing coding standards and design patterns that will be used in the automation development process.
