Description

Testing web applications during a sprint poses a challenge for frontend web app developers, which can be overcome by harnessing the power of new, open source cross-browser test automation frameworks. This book will introduce you to a range of leading, powerful frameworks, such as Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, and Playwright, and serve as a guide to leveraging their test coverage capability. You’ll learn essential concepts of web testing and get an overview of the different web automation frameworks in order to integrate them into your frontend development workflow. Throughout the book, you'll explore the unique features of top open source test automation frameworks, as well as their trade-offs, and learn how to set up each of them to create tests that don't break with changes in the app. By the end of this book, you'll not only be able to choose the framework that best suits your project needs but also create your initial JavaScript-based test automation suite. This will enable fast feedback upon code changes and increase test automation reliability. As the open source market for these frameworks evolves, this guide will help you to continuously validate your project needs and adapt to the changes.

This book offers a comprehensive perspective of the modern web development tooling and approach needed to delivery a high-quality application to users with high velocity. The book sets the scene with the latest in web development frameworks, and how they differ. Then, it turns to detail the challenges facing web developers and test teams. Then, it dives into great depths into common test frameworks, from the fundamentals all the way to extensions, integrations and future potential improvements. Last, it touches on the modern low/no code set of solutions.In my experience, many organizations, from startups to mature enterprises, either do not have a solid strategy for web testing at scale, or are struggling with modernization decisions needed to facilitate growth of the business. Every dev and/or test leader are asking themselves what should be the tooling, staffing and process. In my view, this book should be part of informed decision making in many of those teams.

Books like this, with a complete guide of everything you need to know to start or to update your skills and knowledge on the latest for frontend web development testing, are so useful.There are many tools out there, many free and open source tools to choose from, with this book you can immediately cut to the chase and learn about the most robust and used testing frameworks. You also get a good review of the popular JavaScript development frameworks for web apps, so you get advice to start coding and then automated testing.For newbies as well as frontend testing veterans, in this book, you get everything you need to know to start doing proper frontend testing in 2022. Well written, easy to understand, and with many examples and links to git repos.Without excessive theory, if you want to learn about the latest technologies for frontend web testing, you don’t have to look elsewhere. I recommend this book.

Eran clearly explains why and how to apply a frontend testing strategy to your codebase and to adopt a testing mindset in your organisation.I think the code examples are easy to understand for anyone who has at least 2 years of experience with JavaScript, but I am sure that even a beginner wouldn't struggle.I strongly believe that a Test Driven Development (TDD) approach is more than ever necessary to build web applications that can scale and that can be maintanable for a long time: this book offers a good starting point for moving to a TDD culture.From a practical point of view, the book covers the top Web Test automation frameworks: Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, Puppeteer and Microsoft Playwright.From a 'philosophical' point of view, I am sure Eran will convince you to start writing tests as soon as possible for your code (I personally loved chapter 6!).What can I say? As a Senior Software Engineer who has spent a lot of his professional career dealing with browsers, web technologies and cloud I would highly recommend "A Frontend Web Developer's Guide to Testing" to all my Front End colleagues!

I know Eran and follow his work as writer and public speaker and I knew already this would be a great book. Luckily I am not disappointed.I was fortunate to share many events with him and I always learn something new from him. This is not the exception. This days of heftiness and changes of paradigms, CI/CD is not a requirement but a must have to keep iterating, testing and deployment.Another great work of Eran.

I am at the 3rd chapter and it already provided me a lot of knowledge on web development with great concepts. He uses a very friendly language to explain the details.I certainly recommend anyone who's interested in pursuing a career or already has some experience in web dev to buy this book!
