Goals of these tests • Track down code regressions •
Cross-browser compatibility testing • Cost-effective testing with real user behaviour • Full end-to-end workflow • Confidence in shipping code
Testing Challenges
Writing tests “How do I find the password reset button
for my tests?”
Flaky tests “I’ve looked everywhere for it and gave up!”
Continuous integration challenges “What is wrong with my test?” “I
need to be able to run tests locally and in CI”
Solving these problems… • Flaky tests • Spending time writing
tests • Continuous integration • Debugging • Slow Tests
