How to build an automation framework with selenium : patterns and practices
45 Mins
Talk
Beginner
With an ever increasing no of businesses being conducted on web the testing need to write automated tests for the app's UI is something that can never be ignored. As you all know Selenium provides an API that enables us to do this quite effectively.
However, when tasked with setting up the automation framework, there are a lot of questions that arise in the minds of aspiring test developers regardless of what level they are in their career.
Some of such questions are:
- How does one actually go about the business of building a robust and effective automation framework on top of selenium?
- What are the elementary building blocks to include in the framework that an aspiring automation developer should know of?
- How should we model our tests? XUnit style vs BDD?
- Are there good practices, sensible design patterns and abstractions that we can follow in our code?
- What are some of the anti patterns/common mistakes we should avoid
A lot of literature, documentation and blogs exists on these topics on the web already.
However In this talk,
I would combine this existing knowledge and my years of experience in building automation frameworks and breakdown these elements and walk you through exactly the sort of decisions/considerations and practices that you can take while starting to implement or improve the UI automation for your team.
Hope to see you there!

How to kill test flake in Appium?
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Whether you are a beginner learning the ways of writing UI automated tests or an experienced practitioner, you must have faced the below situation:
You write a test and it works perfectly in your local, happily you promote the tests to your CI environment and surely it passes initially, however after sometime the test starts failing sporadically. This phenomenon is described as Test flakiness and it’s a bummer for any engineer worth his salt. This can cause numerable side effects and doubts into the minds of software teams not trusting UI automation.
However all hope is not lost. We all know a Tool is only as good as its master.
In this talk, I will cover the measures or patterns which you can implement to reduce the flakiness in your Appium tests as much as "humanly" possible and increase their speed and reliability.
