Key benefits

  • Explore the progressive features of the most advanced cross-browser test automation frameworks
  • Formulate a solid testing strategy and strengthen your test coverage by selecting the right tools
  • Realize the future of cross-browser test automation and the use of AI and low-code in testing

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.

Who is this book for?

If you are a frontend developer working with popular frameworks, such as Vue or React, and want to develop testing skills by learning the essentials of test automation, this book is for you. An intermediate-level understanding of JavaScript and frontend development is assumed.

What you will learn

  • Choose the ideal tool or combination of tools for testing your app
  • Continuously monitor the market and ensure that your developers are using the right tools
  • Advance test automation for your web app with sophisticated capabilities
  • Measure both code coverage and test coverage to assess your web application quality
  • Measure the success and maturity of web application quality
  • Understand the trade-offs in tool selection and the associated risks
  • Build Cypress, Selenium, Playwright, and Puppeteer projects from scratch
  • Explore low-code testing tools for web apps

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!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
