5. Survey Quote
"I was exposed to many tools and
technics that I was not aware of.
This will help me in my day to day
job duties."

6. Applitools VS Galen
"Galen is not an ultimate tool for visual
testing.
Galen is more suited for UX engineers or
developers.
If you don't use image comparison, you
don't really check the pixels and you
don't check what is rendered, it's more
like a tool for developers to quickly
verify that their layout is not broken. In
this case, Galen is not an ultimate tool
for visual testing. If you want to quickly
check pixels, of course there are a lot of
great tools like Applitools' tools."
~ Ivan Shubin Creator or Galen

7. FREE Open Source
Visual Validation
Tools
A question that came up more

validation tools options? “ So I
created a resource of 21 Free
tools.

9. How To Grade
Your Selenium
Tests
Dave stepped through the core
tenets of good test and page
object design, locators, and a
repeatable and quantitative
approach for assessing your test
code. Using his grading system
you're able to see how your tests
and page objects stack up, and
what changes are needed to help
them stand the test of time.

11. Screenplay Pattern
Vs Pageobjects
The Screenplay Pattern is an approach
to writing high quality automated
acceptance tests based on good
software engineering principles such as
the Single Responsibility Principle, and
the Open-Closed Principle.
It favors composition over inheritance,
and employs thinking from Domain
Driven Design to reflect the domain of
performing acceptance tests, steering
you towards the effective use of layers
of abstraction. It encourages good
testing habits and well-designed test
suites that are easy to read, easy to
maintain and easy to extend, enabling
teams to write more robust and more
reliable automated tests more
effectively.
