I am doing UI test automation
-
I am thinking of looking for a new job. This is hideous
If you've got the right tools, I've found it can be quite fun. But if you're doing it manually, yeah, that is hideous. I had fun writing some custom code for testing WPF UI's recently. Took me down quite a few interesting rabbit holes which confirmed in my mind how poorly architected WPF actually is, but regardless, I got the UI test automation working in its own thread without any nasty "Sleep" calls. It's a solid testing framework and I'm quite proud of it actually. Marc

Many moons ago, before white man come kill all buffalo... ~~~ :wavy hand thing: ~~~ Some bright numptous brain decided to write an autotesting hook for our UI. It required hooks to be added into myriad different places in the code base - which obliviously went undocumented and so didn't get added in. The idea was that they could build a test version of the front end container that would use all these hooks for auto testing. ... except testing needed to be done against the release build

WPF I could probably cope with - this is HTML/ASP.net (which I have no experience in whatsoever)

Yum. Working with Cucumber/Capybara in Ruby on Rails is pretty cool. There's some equivalent (I'd give you a link but my google-fu is lacking at the moment) for ASP.NET integration testing that, if I did ASP.NET development, I would definitely look into. What tools are you guys using? Marc

And the new company could decide that since you already know how to do it it's got to be worth a try... :laugh:

I used to use Crystal Reports in the 90s and it was on my CV which I have not updated in a decade. I recently got a job offer in Sydney doing CR in VB.net, be careful what you wish for!
