testing provides feedback
why don’t we test?
manual testing can be expensive
manual testing can be tedious
“Computers are designed to do simple repetitive tasks. The second
you have humans doing repetitive tasks, all the computers get together late at night and laugh at you…” - Neal Ford

select a bit o UI simulate interaction with it
select a bit o UI simulate interaction with it inspect
state o it
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
user simulation touch(...) type_into_keyboard(...) set_orientation(...) double_tap(...) tap_and_hold(...) drag_with_initial_delay(...)
simulating gestures
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
touch(...)
touch(...) what?
None
view selectors
view selectors a little language to specify which views you
are interested in e.g. CSS or XPath
demo!
good view selectors == sustainable tests
accessibility is your best friend
record-and-playback test suites are not sustainable
UI select interact inspect
UI select interact inspect
demo!
interact inspect select UI
