Selenium Blog

Its the ‘all github’ edition today!

• Dave goes a little strange on us with his diy_framework as an emoting robot. Here is the deck that went along with it.
• Can’t get enough of the food-based frameworks from the kids at Sauce. If you are using the PHPUnit included WebDriver bindings [and Sauce OnDemand] then Sausage could be of interest.
• Of course, if you are just using PHPUnit, then paraunit could of interest. I’ve written similar before, but this looks cross-platform.
• buster-selenium is, erm, well, Selenium for buster.js
• Why did I only learn about ievms now? Oh. Well, one of the requirements is patience. That explains it.
• gifsockets; I’ll wait while you pick up the pieces of your exploded brain
• How to capture a FF profile log. Dunno what gets put in it, but tuck this away in your back pocket
• I don’t have a use case for flower but collection of modules to build distributed and reliable concurrent systems in Python seems link-worthy
• Again, not sure when you would use it, but webdriver-user-agent-randomizer seems darn cool
• You don’t see too many open-source ios apps, so here is GoogleTransit-iOS6

• Here we grow again. Telerik acquires Fiddler. What’s next?. So. When can we look for nice Se integration with Fiddler then?
• Third-Party Issues and the Performance Ripple Effect is interesting, and something I’ve harped on consistently.
• Automated Web Testing with Selenium is 3.5 hours of videos on Se. That has my usual complaints; shouldn’t have Se-IDE, there is no such thing as ‘basic’ and ‘advanced’, etc. But its there.
• The Oracle Problem and the Teaching of Software Testing is long, but important to understand when doing automation. And its sad how many people don’t know this but automate anyways.
• Sure. A week after I write a web server for PHP to use in php-webdriver’s test suite I see this; PHP: Built-in web server. Welcome indeed.
• I want to start a company right out of school! is for designers, but applies just as much to programming/automation.
• This online markdown editor is awesome.
• Sauce Breakpoints seems like an interesting hack
• Since your scripts are just programs, they can call other programs. With python you can now do that with sh instead of subprocess (which always boggles me for some reason)
• Using a business readable language for browser automation talks about using a cucumber clone with haskell. The mind is blown.

Its that time again, 4th Annual Automation Honors Voting is now open. Vanity contests FTW!

• Introducing the Sauce Plugin for Selenium Grid from a product perspective is huge. And in a roundabout way proves I am not completely crazy…
• Benchmark of Python WSGI Servers has lots of numbers, and graphs and charts.
• Seleno makes some bold marketing statements (‘the RIGHT way!’). Looks like a framework in C# that forces people to use Page Objects
• Automating an SVG game with Selenium WebDriver from Andreas Tolf Tolfsen on Vimeo.

• Splinter is another python web automation framework. How long until this gets marketed as the next Selenium killer that uses WebDriver under the hood.
• If you’re using Maven, maven-notification-center could be interesting. Well, if you are also using Mountain Lion.
• And I quote from Acceptance Testing Revisited – Asking customers to read and write acceptance tests is a poor use of their time, skill, and inclinations.. THIS!
• OH NOES! Your Credit Card Pin has been leaked!!!!
• Testing Automation With Selenium – Part 1 starts with Never send a human to do a machine’s job but also omits Never send a machine to do a human’s job
• Dog Show Quality is where “Quality” is its own goal. That’s from about halfway through the article. Hands up when see this with automation all. the. freaking. time. (All your hands should be up. OK, you can put the down now.)
