Testing

Around the time of iOS 14 (Sept 2020), Apple and other companies started to crack down hard on user privacy and data use.

I’ve been playing around with the Premier League Fantasy Football API in the evenings recently and came across a problem with their API.

In the previous article we learnt about the getByText() and getByRole() queries. The getByX() queries throw an error and immediately cause tests to fail if they are not present in the DOM.

Tests Are Lame but they don’t have to be Ever since i started working with CircleCi at Sauce it bothered me that we don’t use what it has to offer to the fullest and this is especially so with tests circleCi has this really neat way of showing test results as shown below despite how nice doing this looks it also has another really useful feature it allows you to do splitting and parallelism on jobs this means jobs but specifically, a test can be split across say 4 machines and split up by the time it took to run the tests.

React Testing Library (RTL) is a UI-layer testing framework that helps us ensure that React components are rendering and behaving as expected.

REQUIRED VERSION > 0.58 If you’re in the early stages of developing a react native app or just want a quick and easy way to share an apk with your QA or a client who has an android phone, you can easily generate a debug apk file which is unsigned.

By caching and restoring cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage data using the cy.session() command my Cypress tests now run considerably faster.

Playwright is an open source cross-browser end-to-end testing framework, maintained by Microsoft and developed by the team who created Puppeteer.

One of the limitations that I have come across with test automation, and specifically Cypress, in the past is the fact that it doesn’t have a built-in way to generate random test data.

More often than not when we run our test suites there may be a few tests that fail so we go ahead and modify our code then run the test suite again.
