If you are building an online store or just need a place to record your inventory, then chances are you will need a Product Catalog. Now you could go out and buy any old cookie cutter Catalog tool on the market. However, before you do, you better make sure you understand what your Catalog requires. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of time and money on a tool that will not fit the bill. So, today we will focus on how to test our web application with Selenium and WebDriver.
Understand how to test our Web Application to ensure it is working correctly with tools like Selenium and Webdriver
Unlike the previous lessons, this one focuses on testing your MVC web application. We will start out by going into detail on how to start experimenting with simple record & playback tools like the Selenium IDE. Then we will explain how to convert these tests into Unit tests that you run inside of your project. Wrapping up with a live demo of how to run your unit tests with Webdriver and watch them run interactively in a browser.
This series comes from our mentoring/mastermind classes. These classes are virtual meetings that focus on how to improve our technical skills and build our businesses. The goals of each member vary, but this diversity makes for great discussions and ton of educational value every time we meet. We hope you enjoy this series as much as we enjoy creating it.
