Are functions in page objects for big projects a good practice?
By Z R

So, I'm writing automation tests for a huge web platform. We have page objects folder with files for each web page which contain a great amount of selectors used in tests. Also, tests pertaining to one of the component/functionality are all grouped in one file. 

 

The main question is whether the functions used by multiple tests (and some will have assertions in them) should be written:

1. Functions w/o assertions in page object and those w/ assertions in helper file for that component/functionality

2. All functions in helper file

3. Functions w/o assertions in page object and write the rest of the commands with assertions in the specific tests even though they may repeat and make the file with tests huge.

Testing is done in javasctipt(more recent: typescript), selenium webdriver, protractor, jasmine.

I really hope someone can solve this conundrum since nobody in my office has enough experience to help me. Thank you!

p.s. Should we group tests in one file? or write wvery test in a separate one?

Experience or knowledge of performing acceptance testing on automated conveyor systems
By lee marshall

Does anyone here have any experience or knowledge of performing acceptance testing on automated conveyor systems utilised for the sortation of items.

This is a mixture of software and interfaces with moving machinery and integrating into data systems 

For example conveyor or materials handling conveyors used in the managment and distribution of luggage around a large airport 

I am looking to understand how you defined the scope of test and the framework adopted with the possibility of benchmarking the activities you have performed.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone come up with a framework for testing Blackbaud, Inc products - Enterprise CRM, Raiser's Edge, etc.???
By JIm Brown

Hi,

We use a product from Blackbaud Inc. called Enterprise Constituent Management System. Over the past few years we have looked at various automation tools including some record and playback tools for UI testing. Another QA colleage is training on Selenium Webdriver.

What I'm hoping is to find out whether anyone has developed an automation framework or knows or one for a platform such as this. The vendor has been working on something as well.

This is a hosted environment.

Thanks in advance for any input/insight provided.

Manual Regression Testing: End of Sprint Test Report template?
By Zena Higgin

I have a Project Test Report template but it seems to formal.  I'm looking for ideas for an End of Sprint Test Report, that only reports Manual Regression Testing results.  I need a report that helps me keep track of user stories not ready for regression in one sprint but will be in the next few sprints.

I'm using VSTS Test Hub, so I have access to charts and queries from tests I've run.

Going forward, I would like to report on Automative (and Manual) Regression Test Results.

Appreciate your expertise.  Thanks.
