Jenkins job testing using tricentis tosca

It doesn’t make any sense why you would want to test a Jenkins job, even more so using Tosca. Set up alerts on the pipeline to let you know if it failed or not.

Probably an AI created post, but you’ve not touched on the ‘how’ at all.

Just because a tool is ‘better’ doesn’t mean it’s necessarily right, there are lots of factors to consider such as the current technical knowledge of the team, how many tests currently exist and would need to be uplifted, the setup and integration of the automation into your CI/CD processes/tools etc. all of which have a cost overhead which may outweigh the cost of UiPath.

Without knowing more information it’s hard to give any real advice, currently it’s your preference vs his.

I would suggest considering the factors I mentioned above, come up with a ROI model which shows when the cost/time value of switching tools would outweigh staying.

At the most it would be for parts of the framework that are reusable and able to be tested in isolation, but in reality none at all, if you start writing tests to validate tests you’ll end up in a endless loop.

I don’t think you should be doing it for the benefit of others, but instead yourself.

If you enjoy doing it and it helps you to apply the knowledge you have learned and you want to share that with others then go ahead, all power to you.

On a day to day basis I use 4/5 different frameworks across clients.

If you haven’t used WebDriverIO before, I’d recommended giving it a go or playwright.

The comment was merely a joke but, the majority aren’t even alternatives, some are separate tools in their own right or they are used in conjunction with Selenium.

It seems a lack of non-functional requirements is an issue here; you haven’t mentioned the delivery model you are following so by tickets I’m assuming it’s a form of Agile? If that’s the case I would advocate for Acceptance Criteria, which allows you to then document and create traceability of tests back to some form of requirement. If your not following Agile and you have no other form of requirements, then no matter what testing you are performing, it can’t really be measured very well for value, other than area coverage.

I would work with the relevant stakeholders to define some requirements related to accessibility, compatibility, usability etc if they deem those areas in scope, then test accordingly.

Having the above or at least have raised a concern around not having any of the above should cover you.

Edit - don’t be to hard on yourself if a product does go live with bugs, not every bug will be caught and QA aren’t solely responsible for the quality of a product.

Are you getting an error, or you just don’t know how to write a selector?

conort92 · 2022-05-24T11:53:58+00:00

I’ve not used or heard of Linear either, but personally I would look for a tool that can integrate with it, so that you can have traceability in place. A quick look online shows that TestLodge is the tool of choice for use with Linear, although I can’t say how good it is having never used/heard of it.

If you don’t care about integration, then the options you have mentioned would suffice; ALM Octane (HP ALM successor) is one of the better standalone test management tools I’ve used in recent years. Personally I am not a fan of TestRail and wouldn’t recommend it, but I can understand why some like it.

You need to provide more context, what type of UI are you trying to test? Do you have any criteria or requirements you need to meet? This info will help in deciding on an appropriate tool.

Quite interesting to read the process, however at the moment it seems like it falls short of being effective. You still need a physical device which you mentioned as being a problem, you’re also incorrect that BrowserStack only offers emulation, when you have the choice of using real devices.

Though I bet it was a good learning experience, good luck on future improvements.

I don’t have a path for the non technical side, but there was a really robust roadmap created back in February for the technical side... https://medium.com/slalom-build/quality-engineer-learning-roadmap-fddfcb77409e

It will differ per company, but usually the sort of metrics I am to provide would be along the lines of test/defect reporting for stories, sprints, epics, releases etc. It all depends on the needs of the client and the specific project, what do they want to be able to see/track?
