10 Things Testers Wish CIOs and CTOs Knew About Testing: Episode 2

In this new series from Sauce Labs, Marcus Merrell addresses ten things he wishes CIOs and CTOs understood about testing. In episode two, Marcus dispels a common myth: The goal of testing is not perfect software, but risk mitigation. Come along on this ten-episode journey to learn some best practices while Marcus dispels some myths about the testing space.

API Testing - Global Variables

In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create variables, also known as Global Parameters in an API Test. These variables can be used to make it easier to recreate and run tests in different cases and situations, in this case replacing the domain, protocol, and endpoint in a GET call to make it easier to run tests against different environments.

API Testing - Input Sets

In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create a simple API test with a GET request, using basic authentication. Once you have set up you basic test, you will replace the values for the tunnel owner (a username) and the tunnel ID using imput sets. By using input sets, you can run the same API test serveral times for different sets of tunnel owners & tinnel IDs without having to rewrite test logic.

API Testing - The Vault

In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create code snippets and use them across tests in the same project. You will also learn how to create variables and snippets in your vault that can be used in tests across different API testing projects. Run tests with a Sauce Labs account at app.saucelabs.com/api-testing.

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.

Running Mobile Device QR Code Tests

When injecting an image with a QR Code or barcode, the image size in your preview may exceed the boundaries of the target scanner area, which would prevent your app from reading the code. In this scenario, you'd need to add padding to your uploaded image so that when it's scaled to full-screen, the QR Code will fit inside the scanning area limits and can be processed.
