Serenity BDD is a library that makes it easier to write high quality automated acceptance tests, with powerful reporting and living documentation features. It has strong support for both web testing with Selenium, and API testing using RestAssured. Serenity strongly encourages good test automation design, and supports several design patterns, including classic Page Objects, the…
Page Objects are one of the most widely used test automation design patterns around. Most QA engineers have used a variation of Page Objects at some point. However, it is often misunderstood and used poorly, which can result in test automation code that is fragile and hard to maintain. In this article, we will look…
Serenity is primarily designed to report the results of automated acceptance tests. However, there are times when some tests need to be done manually. And it is useful to report these tests in the overall test reports, to get a broader picture of test coverage. To make this easier, Serenity with Cucumber provides some support…
In 2019, the Serenity Dojo will be integrating with Accredible. Accredible is one of the most widely recognised digital credentialing platforms. From January 2019 onwards, when you complete one of the Serenity Dojo courses, you will receive a digital certificate that you can download and use as evidence of your training. You can even post…
When we write acceptance tests, we often need to run them against different environments. Managing the URLs for each environment by hand can be cumbersome, especially when there are not just web pages, but also REST end points, databases etc to think about. Fortunately, Serenity BDD provides a lot of flexibility in configuring environment-specific options….
