Boost your testing: End-to-End with Docker and Geb

End to end testing is a crucial part of a tool chain to deliver high-quality releases of many software systems.

With Geb, we have a very handy wrapper to WebDriver/Selenium at our fingertips that enables us to create actually maintainable E2E test suites even for large web applications.
Combining it with Docker and a CI system enables us to be very flexible about the context we use this tests in and allow us to provoke feedback for many interesting aspects we need to know about in our system.

This talk outlines findings and experiences from projects that utilized the mentioned technologies to succeed in constantly delivering high quality releases not only in slides but also with some live-coding and demos.

3. End-to-End ?
4. User experience
5. Adopt legacy
6. maintain variants
7. Say hello to • Groovy DSL on top of Selenium/WebDriver • IDE support: syntax & debugging • PageObject, Modules
8. import geb.Browser Browser.drive { go "http://myapp.com/login" assert $("h1").text() == "Please Login" $("form.login").with { username = "admin" password = "password" login().click() } assert $("h1").text() == "Admin Section" }
9. Structure, Technical Details PageObject PageObject Spec Service Method
10. waitFor { }
11. waitFor { } package demo import geb.Browser Browser.drive { go "https://mynethome.de/animation.html" assert title == "Animation For Waitfor Example" $("div#app button").click() waitFor { !$("div.modal").hasClass("fade-enter-active") } $("div.modal button").click() waitFor { !$("div.modal").hasClass("fade-leave-active") } }

16. Write End-to-End tests with Geb Demo
17. Non-blocking tests?
18. Docker
20. • Docker WebDriver Selenium Container • Xvfb: X virtual frame-buffer • Chrome, Firefox • Video recording Docker
21. encapsulate 
 End-to-End tests Demo

23. Automation! Docker&Geb + CI Demo
25. Unit Integration End to End
26. 
 • E2E do not replace other tests - they rather complete them • E2E should merely be seen as the final
 „does everything fit together“ • „Acceptance Tests“
27. The horizon • Living Documentation:
 Geb/Spock Specs + AsciiDoctor
