Building a Test Automation Framework is easy - there are so many resources / guides / blogs / etc. available to help you get started and help solve the issues you get along the journey. However, building a "good" Test Automation Framework is not very easy. There are a lot of principles and practices you need to use, in the right context, with a good set of skills required to make the Test Automation Framework maintainable, scalable and reusable. Design Patterns play a big role in helping achieve this goal of building a good and robust framework. In this talk, we will talk about, and see examples of various types of patterns you can use for: Build your Test Automation Framework Test Data Management Locators / IDs (for finding / interacting with elements in the browser / app) Using these patterns you will be able to build a good framework, that will help keep your tests running fast, and reliably in your CI / CD setup!

Patterns for Test
Automation?

COMMON PATTERNS USED IN TEST AUTOMATION
¨ Page-Object
¨ Business Layer
¨ Singleton
¨ Composition
¨ Factory
¨ Builder

PAGE OBJECT PATTERN
Model pages
in code
Simulates user actions
One place change
Reduces code duplication
Snippets
of page

LIMITATIONS OF PAGE-OBJECT PATTERN
¨ Test intent gets polluted
¨ Duplication of Test intent & implementation
¨ Intent becomes Imperative
¨ Maintenance challenges
¨ Scaling challenges

ADVANTAGES OF
BUSINESS-LAYER PAGE-OBJECT PATTERN
¨ Validate what is important - Business requirements
¨ Test Pyramid remains sane
¨ Abstraction layers allow separation-of-concerns
¨ Changes are isolated
¨ Maintenance & Scaling becomes ‘easier’

Why do we need to
think diﬀerently
about Test Data?

CRITERIA FOR TEST DATA
¨ Data is complex
¨ Needs to mimic “real” data
¨ Needs to be unique
¨ Data can be nested
¨ Though speciﬁed as static, may need to be Dynamic
¨ Data can be shared and reused

DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPECIFY TEST DATA
¨ In Test implementation
¨ In Test speciﬁcation / intent
¨ In code … separate data structures / classes / etc.
¨ External ﬁles

TEST DATA SPECIFICATION EXAMPLES
¨ Excel
¨ CSV
¨ Property
¨ XML
¨ YAML
¨ Database
¨ Json

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
¨ Easy to specify
¨ Easy to read and consume (by test framework)
¨ Ability to override speciﬁed data, easily
¨ Usable

TIPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
¨ Consistent way to specify test data
¨ Read the data – as Business Entities
¨ Override as appropriate
¨ Create DSL to give meaning to data
¨ Use in test implementation
¨ Implement Test Data Entity Utilities – Build, Equals, Copy,
Find, etc.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO SPECIFY ELEMENT LOCATORS
¨ In Page-Objects
¨ In separate ﬁles, per Page-Object
¨ In external ﬁles / locator ﬁles

Advantages of
using Patterns for
Test Automation

ADVANTAGES OF PATTERNS
¨ Well known, well understood
¨ Tried & tested solutions for common problems
¨ Reduces complexity
¨ Language neutral
¨ Aid in communication

ADVANTAGES OF PATTERNS IN TEST AUTOMATION
Saves time & eﬀort
(eventually)
Single ownership
Test Automation Code is of Production Quality!
Single point of change
Easy to –
- Implement
- Maintain
- Debug
- Scale

Slides from my talk in Selenium Conference 2016, Bangalore Blog post: http://essenceoftesting.blogspot.com/2016/06/test-data-food-for-test-automation.html Abstract: Building a Test Automation Framework is easy - there are so many resources / guides / blogs / etc. available to help you get started and help solve the issues you get along the journey. Teams already building 1000s of tests of various types - UI, web service-based, integration, unit, etc. is a proof of that. However, building a "good" Test Automation Framework is not very easy. There are a lot of principles and practices you need to use, in the right context, with a good set of skills required to make the Test Automation Framework maintainable, scalable and reusable. In this talk, we will focus on one of the critical aspects and patterns in building the Test Automation framework - Test Data! We will look at different data patterns as options and techniques how to create, manage, use, reuse Test Data in a way to keep the tests running in an reliable and deterministic way. We will also discuss what questions to ask, what things to think about in selecting your approach for Test Data! This discussion will be applicable for any type of Test Automation (web / mobile / desktop), but, we will focus primarily on UI automation frameworks, ex. using Selenium. Video & blog post will be linked soon!

Patterns of a “good” test automation frameworkAnand Bagmar

This document discusses patterns for test automation frameworks. It begins by introducing common patterns like page objects, business layer, and factories. It then provides examples of page object and business layer page object patterns. The document also discusses test data patterns and different ways to specify test data and locators. Finally, it outlines advantages of using patterns like reduced complexity, reusability, and maintenance. The key message is that the best pattern depends on the specific test automation context.

Enabling CD in Enterprises with TestingThoughtworks

The key objectives of Organizations is to provide / derive value from the products / services they offer. To achieve this, they need to be able to deliver their offerings in the quickest time possible, and of good quality! In such a fast moving environment, CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) are now a necessity and not a luxury! There are various practices that Organizations and Enterprises need to implement to enable CD. Testing (automation) is one of the important practices that needs to be setup correctly for CD to be successful. Testing in Organizations on the CD journey is tricky and requires a lot of discipline, rigor and hard work. In Enterprises, the Testing complexity and challenges increase exponentially. I am sharing my vision of the Test Vision and Strategy required to make successful the journey of an Enterprise on the path of implementing CD. Learn via a case study of an Enterprise, what does CD really means, and how and what Testing needs to be done in order to enable CD.

Sharing (less) Pain of using Protractor & WebDriverAnand Bagmar

The What, Why and How of (Web) Analytics Testing (Web, IoT, Big Data)Anand Bagmar

Learning Objectives: The most used and heard about buzz words in the Software Industry today are … IoT and Big Data! With IoT, with a creative mindset looking for opportunities and ways to add value, the possibilities are infinite. With each such opportunity, there is a huge volume of data being generated - which if analyzed and used correctly, can feed into creating more opportunities and increased value propositions. There are 2 types of analysis that one needs to think about. 1. How is the end-user interacting with the product? This will give some level of understanding into how to re-position and focus on the true value add features for the product. 2. With the huge volume of data being generated by the end-user interactions, and the data being captured by all devices in the food-chain of the offering, it is important to identify patterns from what has happened, and find out new product / value opportunities based on usage patterns. Learn what is Web Analytics, why is it important, and see some techniques how you can test it manually and and also automate that validation.

Perils of Page-Object PatternAnand Bagmar

This document discusses the perils of using the page object pattern for test automation frameworks. It describes the page object pattern, how it can be used to model pages in code and reduce duplication. However, it also notes limitations like tests becoming too implementation focused rather than intent focused. It then introduces a business layer page object pattern that aims to address these limitations by validating business requirements and separating concerns with abstraction layers. This allows the test pyramid to remain balanced and makes maintenance and scaling easier.

Client-Side Performance TestingAnand Bagmar

Slides from my 4-hour workshop on Client-Side Performance Testing conducted at Phoenix, AZ in STPCon 2017 (March). Workshop Takeaways: Understand difference between is Performance Testing and Performance Engineering. Hand’s on experience of some open-source tools to monitor, measure and automate Client-side Performance Testing. Examples / code walk-through of some ways to automate Client-side Performance Testing. See blog for more details - https://essenceoftesting.blogspot.com/2017/03/workshop-client-side-performance.html

Client-Side Performance TestingAnand Bagmar

Slides from the workshop I conducted on "Client-side Performance Testing". Abstract of the workshop: In this workshop, we will see the different dimensions of Performance Testing and Performance Engineering, and focus on Client-side Performance Testing. Before we get to doing some Client-side Performance Testing activities, we will first understand how to look at client-side performance, and putting that in the context of the product under test. We will see, using a case study, the impact of caching on performance, the good & the bad! We will then experiment with some tools like WebPageTest and Page Speed to understand how to measure client-side performance. Lastly - just understanding the performance of the product is not sufficient. We will look at how to automate the testing for this activity - using WebPageTest (private instance setup), and experiment with yslow - as a low-cost, programatic alternative to WebPageTest.

Say NO To (More) Selenium TestsAnand Bagmar

Bhumika S, Anand Bagmar (Thoughtworks) How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process and testing cycle, delaying the feedback? We know what to test and how to test, but what is the right place to test it? In this workshop, we will demonstrate how we, as QA’s, can identify which tests can be classified as unit tests, integration tests, and functional tests. Using a case study, we will see how each component can be tested as part of unit testing; the integration of different parts and the functioning of a software system as a whole, and how functional tests fit into this big picture. We will then bring all these tests together to understand and build the testing pyramid and how it enables us to build the right testing framework with fewer Selenium, i.e., functional tests.

The What, Why and How of Analytics TestingAnand Bagmar

Grading the Quality of Selenium TestsMarcus Merrell

This document discusses how to evaluate and improve Selenium tests, page objects, and locators. It provides rubrics to grade tests on a 100 point scale, deducting points for issues like using Selenium commands directly or hard-coded waits. Page objects are graded on lines of code, assertions, and waits. Locators are given letter grades based on attributes like being dynamic, tied to layout, or using semantic IDs. An example shows overall grades for a test suite, individual tests, and locators within tests. The document concludes by proposing implementing the rubrics as an IntelliJ plugin to automate evaluation and reporting.

Software Test Patterns: Successes and ChallengesBob Binder

This document discusses the successes and challenges of using test patterns over the past 10 years. It describes how test patterns were useful for articulating testing insights and practices, but have not been widely adopted. Reasons for limited adoption include the proliferation of templates, confusion between different pattern types, and the perception that using patterns requires too much additional modeling effort. The document also suggests that while innovators create new patterns, those seeking existing patterns may be less influential. It argues that test patterns will remain important for building a conceptual framework for testing and efficiently sharing solutions, especially as software systems increase in complexity.

Measuring Coverage From E2E TestsAnand Bagmar

It is easy to measure code coverage when running unit tests. However, very frequently the following questions come up: - How can we measure API test coverage and e2e / UI test coverage? - Does e2e / UI test coverage add value? - If not, what other data can we look at to know if the e2e tests have good coverage? This session is about understanding the above questions, and finding solutions for the same.

Visual Validation - The Missing Tip of the Automation PyramidAnand Bagmar

The Test Automation Pyramid is not a new concept. The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which should cover the breadth of the product. What the functional tests cannot capture though, is the aspects of UX validations that can only be seen and in some cases, captured by the human eye. This is where the new buzzwords of AI & ML can truly help. In this session, we will explore why Visual Validation is an important cog in the wheel of Test Automation and also different tools and techniques that can help achieve this. We will also see a demo of Applitools Eyes - and how it can be a good option to close this gap in automation!

Build the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)Anand Bagmar

Design patterns in test automationMikalai Alimenkou

Design patters exist for years in software development. Some developers love them, some think they are useless. But design patters has very clear goals: describe common solutions for common problems, create shared language for community, improve understanding and reuse of existing approaches. Test automation has its own set of problems, so there is a set of helpful design patterns for this area. In this talk I will run through all known patterns and describe them in details with several practical samples.

Patterns of Test AutomationvodQA

The document discusses patterns for test automation frameworks, including the page object pattern for modeling pages in code and simulating user actions. It describes limitations of the page object pattern and advantages of the business-layer page object pattern. The document also covers patterns for test data, such as specifying data in external files, and patterns for locators, noting it depends on the context which pattern is best. Principles discussed include code quality, design patterns, abstraction layers, and refactoring to evolve the framework.

Unit testingAdam Birr

This document discusses improving server-side unit testing methods. It identifies issues with current server unit tests such as dependencies between classes and lack of clear purpose or expectations. It recommends defining a "unit" as a single Java class and mocking dependencies. Tests should describe specifications, improve code quality, and reduce bugs. While DRY principles are best for production code, DAMP (Descriptive And Meaningful Phrases) is preferable for unit tests to prioritize readability over code duplication. Each test should focus on one thing, use plain language, and assert expected outcomes rather than null values.

DSL, Page Object и WebDriver – путь к надежным функциональным тестамSQALab

DSL, Page Object and WebDriver patterns help address issues with Selenium tests such as verbosity, lack of expressiveness, fragility, and lack of reuse. The presentation recommends a three step approach: 1. Introduce a DSL to create high-level, readable tests in the language of the application domain. 2. Implement the Page Object pattern to separate test logic from page details through page maps. 3. Divide pages into reusable elements to increase code reuse and simplify page objects. This approach results in reliable, clear, and maintainable tests that better model the application under test.

The document outlines the testing strategy and best practices for the Product Array project. It discusses using Selenium and HTMLUnit for functional testing, with HTMLUnit favored for backend testing and Selenium for richer UI. It recommends building a long-term regression test base in continuous integration. Challenges around test maintainability and coverage are discussed. Test design patterns like page object and data-driven testing are recommended. Behavior-driven development is introduced to close the gap between specifications and tests. Code examples show how tests can move from verifying functions to illustrating user stories.

Integration Testing in Enterprises using TaaSAnand Bagmar

Typically in organizations, there are multiple projects / products. These products may be of implemented using tech-stacks over many years. Yet - they interact with each other in some way. To manage the complexity around Test Automation, many organizations prefer to have a common Test Automation solution across these products in an effort to build, standardize and maintain the framework. However, this is not a good idea! With this approach one potentially ends up having to compromise on the quality of automation that can be done for each product, limited by the toolset. The better approach would be to use the tools and technologies that are "right" for each product. This does have other disadvantages, but you would ensure each product is well tested! The only missing piece that remains is that these different products talk with each other. You need to test the integration between them in an automated way to verify all is well. "TaaS" is an open-source product solution that allows you do achieve the "correct" way of doing integration testing across a variety of products via Test Automation. Example: For one set of products, Selenium-based toolset may be the right choice, where as for legacy reasons, QTP may be used for some other product. With TaaS - you will be able to automate the Integration Testing between these products, by re-using the tests already implemented in the individual product suites.

The Path to Autonomous Testing - Anand BagmarAnand Bagmar

Fourteen years ago, I shared my vision for the Evolution of Test Automation Frameworks in a talk titled "Future of Test Automation Tools & Infrastructure." Today, I am thrilled for two reasons: First, I've had the privilege of witnessing this evolution unfold; validating the predictions I made back then. Second, with the recent surge in AI and ML technologies within Software Testing and Test Automation, we are now closer than ever to fully realizing that vision. In this session, I’ll take you on a journey toward achieving truly autonomous automation. We’ll delve into the evolution of the test automation lifecycle — from design, authoring, and implementation to execution and result analysis — demonstrating how AI-driven tools are transforming each phase. Effective automation is valuable and not only delivers rapid insights into product quality but also brings the team inner peace, ensuring that automated tests reliably catch issues early and enable quick, informed decisions. We'll understand our past, examine our current position, identify the remaining gaps, and explore what's on the horizon. By adopting early feedback loops, shift-left practices, and intelligent, self-healing systems, we are forging a future where automation frameworks are not just faster and smarter, but also capable of delivering unparalleled quality and efficiency. Join me as we navigate the path to automation nirvana, where the future of software testing is defined by autonomy, continuous improvement, and the tranquility that comes from truly valuable automation.

Streamlining End-to-End Testing AutomationAnand Bagmar

Streamlining End-to-End Testing Automation with Azure DevOps Build & Release Pipelines Automating end-to-end (e2e) test for Android and iOS native apps, and web apps, within Azure build and release pipelines, poses several challenges. This session dives into the key challenges and the repeatable solutions implemented across multiple teams at a leading Indian telecom disruptor, renowned for its affordable 4G/5G services, digital platforms, and broadband connectivity. Challenge #1. Ensuring Test Environment Consistency: Establishing a standardized test execution environment across hundreds of Azure DevOps agents is crucial for achieving dependable testing results. This uniformity must seamlessly span from Build pipelines to various stages of the Release pipeline. Challenge #2. Coordinated Test Execution Across Environments: Executing distinct subsets of tests using the same automation framework across diverse environments, such as the build pipeline and specific stages of the Release Pipeline, demands flexible and cohesive approaches. Challenge #3. Testing on Linux-based Azure DevOps Agents: Conducting tests, particularly for web and native apps, on Azure DevOps Linux agents lacking browser or device connectivity presents specific challenges in attaining thorough testing coverage. This session delves into how these challenges were addressed through: 1. Automate the setup of essential dependencies to ensure a consistent testing environment. 2. Create standardized templates for executing API tests, API workflow tests, and end-to-end tests in the Build pipeline, streamlining the testing process. 3. Implement task groups in Release pipeline stages to facilitate the execution of tests, ensuring consistency and efficiency across deployment phases. 4. Deploy browsers within Docker containers for web application testing, enhancing portability and scalability of testing environments. 5. Leverage diverse device farms dedicated to Android, iOS, and browser testing to cover a wide range of platforms and devices. 6. Integrate AI technology, such as Applitools Visual AI and Ultrafast Grid, to automate test execution and validation, improving accuracy and efficiency. 7. Utilize AI/ML-powered central test automation reporting server through platforms like reportportal.io, providing consolidated and real-time insights into test performance and issues. These solutions not only facilitate comprehensive testing across platforms but also promote the principles of shift-left testing, enabling early feedback, implementing quality gates, and ensuring repeatability. By adopting these techniques, teams can effectively automate and execute tests, accelerating software delivery while upholding high-quality standards across Android, iOS, and web applications.

Visual Validation - The missing tip of the automation pyramid @GoT2022Anand Bagmar

The document discusses visual validation testing as a missing piece of the automation testing pyramid. Visual testing is important but challenging as it is typically done manually, which is tedious, error-prone, and difficult to scale. Automating visual testing can help by taking screenshots of expected user interfaces and comparing them to actual screenshots. However, automating also poses challenges around false positives/negatives, maintaining baselines, and accounting for product changes. The document promotes using artificial intelligence in visual test automation to help address these challenges and advocates for including visual testing in an organization's overall quality and automation strategy.

On retrospection, I have realized, that most of these challenges are because of a combination of the following issues: Lack of holistic vision, understanding, skills, and capabilities for taking on this seemingly easy activity of functional test automation Lack of time for design, implementation, and maintenance of the automated test code In this session, I will share, with examples, the features & capabilities that are not used right in Test Automation implementation resulting in you answering “NO” to the above statements. These are anti-patterns of functional automation implementation and have a negative impact on the quality of feedback from your automated tests. More importantly, I will share approaches and solutions of how you can avoid these anti-patterns and evolve to answer “YES” to each of the above statements.

https://confengine.com/agile-india-2020/proposal/11065/visual-validation-the-missing-tip-of-the-automation-pyramid The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which simulate end-user behavior and interactions with the product-under test. While Automation helps validate functionality of your product, aspects of UX validations can only be seen and captured by the human eye and is hence mostly a manual activity. This is an area where AI & ML can truly help. With everyone wanting to be Agile, make quick releases, the look & feel / UX validation, which is a slow, and error-prone activity, quickly becomes a huge bottleneck. In addition, with any UX related issues propping up cause huge brand-value and revenue loss, may lead to social-trolling and worse - dilute your user-base. In this session, using numerous examples, we will explore: Why Automated Visual Validation is essential to be part of your Test Strategy Potential solutions / options for Automated Visual Testing, with pros & cons of each How an AI-powered tool, Applitools Eyes, can solve this problem.

Does your functional automation really add value?Anand Bagmar

We all know that automation is one of the key enablers for those on the CI-CD journey. Most teams are: • implementing automation • talking about its benefits • up-skilling themselves • talking about tooling • etc. In my experience, unfortunately most of the functional automation that is built is: • not optimal • not fit-for-purpose • does not run fast enough • gives inconsistent feedback, hence unreliable Hence, for the amount of effort invested in implementing automation, are you really getting the value from this activity? In this talk, we will discuss these challenges and why it would lead to poor ROI of automation. More importantly, we will discuss the following techniques to make automation valuable: • know the objective for the automation framework • establish criteria for tests to be automated • design your framework with proper abstraction layers • develop using appropriate design patterns

Who Watches the Watchmen (SciFiDevCon 2025)Allon Mureinik

Tests, especially unit tests, are the developers’ superheroes. They allow us to mess around with our code and keep us safe. We often trust them with the safety of our codebase, but how do we know that we should? How do we know that this trust is well-deserved? Enter mutation testing – by intentionally injecting harmful mutations into our code and seeing if they are caught by the tests, we can evaluate the quality of the safety net they provide. By watching the watchmen, we can make sure our tests really protect us, and we aren’t just green-washing our IDEs to a false sense of security.

Scaling GraphRAG: Efficient Knowledge Retrieval for Enterprise AIdanshalev

If we were building a GenAI stack today, we'd start with one question: Can your retrieval system handle multi-hop logic? Trick question, b/c most can’t. They treat retrieval as nearest-neighbor search. Today, we discussed scaling #GraphRAG at AWS DevOps Day, and the takeaway is clear: VectorRAG is naive, lacks domain awareness, and can’t handle full dataset retrieval. GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph from source documents, allowing for a deeper understanding of the data + higher accuracy.
