Slide 9 text
Having sane
configuration
It must be
easy to use
Easy to write
Easy to read
Easy to maintain
Visibility into why
something failed
Animation testing
Wasted time spent
debugging false
negatives
..slow to run and
often … fragile
Speed of
test execution
…errors using
Selenium are useless
…more insight into
failing tests
Running fast and
reliably
…having to go
through a pain
of setup
Frictionless test setup
…taking a long time
to develop and
difficult to maintain
Testing responsive
designs
See what broke
visually Can be quickly
debugged
Understand why test
failed
Being easy
to setup
Making it easy
Making it "fun" to
write tests
Cross-Browser
testing
Tooling that is easy
to use
Support for
async testing
Flake
Tooling that
is fast
Tooling that
actually works
Intermittent test
failures
Speed, flakiness
Time spent
debugging false
negatives
Testing across
browsers is painful
A solution that
is friendly to
frontend Devs
Less brittle
to changes
Legible syntax
Faster test-
development
feedback loop
Simpler to write
No endless setup
hassle
Testing browser
JS-heavy apps
Asynchronous
interaction
More insight into
failing tests
…very clunky
… and cryptic
Deals with async in a
non-flakey way
Testing frameworks
aren't great
Better information
for new testers
…complexity and
difficulty
Fixing failing tests
and regressions
Making testing more
enjoyable
Debugging failing
tests have left me
frustrated
Abandonment of
automated tests
…takes a bit of time
to setup
Step through the
error and inspect
what is happening
Elegantly dealing
with delays
Config
…causes them to
abandon testing…
Learning curve
Usable cross browser
testing
Test my apps on
multiple browsers
Managing a bunch of
fiddly testing tools
…hard time getting
started
Simplify integration
testing
Highlight and help
understand what
should be tested
Testing without
selenium
CSS rendering
testing
Cross-browser
compatibility
Automatically retest
the code you’re
working on
Reducing the pain
Encourage Devs to
actually write more
tests
…tests have left me
frustrated
…intimidates users
Slow iterations on
test code
Visually step through
the test runs
Takes lots of time to
get it right
Sane test-running
environment
Less hassle
to set up
