What is TestNG in Selenium? TestNG is a data driven framework that allows to group, prioritise and order your test case in the most convenient manner YOU descire. Let's see more about it.
Software testing concepts is going to enhance from manual testing to automated testing. Due to rapidly increasing complexity in software development process, the present manual testing technique is not sufficient for effective testing. Hence, here arises the requirement of test automation process. The automation testing is the software testing process in which the tester use advance automation tools for testing software applications areas, which needs to be tested again-and-again due to frequent changes.

Acceptance testing plone sites and add ons with robot framework and seleniumAsko Soukka
Acceptance tests are high-level tests to verify the completeness of user stories (end user features) for a developed product. It is said that while lower level unit and integration tests confirm that the product has been made right, only the acceptance tests confirm that the product actually does the right thing.
Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development. The key feature of Robot Framework is its extensible test syntax, which allows to write tests in a business-readable domain-specific language, including BDD (behavior driven development) style for executable acceptance criteria.
Selenium is a browser automation framework. It allows to use real browsers in acceptance testing so that all effects of CSS and JavaScript taken into account, including possible differences between different browsers.
This talk walks through alternative ways for using Robot Framework and Selenium to perform acceptance testing, including
* testing live sites (readonly)
* testing sandboxed Plone sites with live data (beforestorage + demostorage)
* testing sandboxed Plone add-ons (plone.app.testing + plone.app.robotframework)
* testing Sphinx documentation (while generating screenshots)
Learn how you can use the RobotFX for Acceptance Testing / Behavior Driven development / Integration Testing. Learn about the advanced keyword driven framework, and the ability to create reusable/custom higher-level keywords. Learn about the integration across multiple tools and extensibility.
Specification by example and agile acceptance testinggojkoadzic
Specification by example and agile acceptance testing, presentation given to HSBC developers on 21/09/09 for more info see http://specificationbyexample.com
Tutorial: Implementing Specification-By-Example with GherkinChristian Hassa
1/2 day Tutorial held at XP 2013 conference in Vienna
Many teams struggle with the implementation of user story acceptance criteria and having a shared understanding about the expected story outcomes. This often results in missed stakeholder expectations, ad-hoc assumptions made by the team during implementation and conflict between team members and the product owner around testing.
In this tutorial, you will learn how specification-by-example and acceptance test driven development will address team conflict, missed stakeholder expectations and overall increasing the level of clarity on the project end-to-end. The presentation will cover the theory behind ATDD, case-studies and practical experience from real projects and several hands-on exercises to try out the presented concepts.
You will leave this tutorial with a fundamental understanding of specification-by-example and its benefits, as well as concrete pointers on how to get started using it in your own projects.

A Pragmatic View of UX Driven DevelopmentAkshay Luther
This presentation shows how using UI toolkits that a) have broad and deep functionality exposed by a powerful design-time interface and b) that are "pattern aware" is a winning strategy for UX driven development. Firstly, they minimise the disconnect between the customer, UX practictioner and developer by enabling the easy creation of high-fidelity prototypes. Secondly, they address the challenges of time, budget, developer ability and the growing need to target multiple devices.
Let's make this test suite run faster! SoftShake 2010David Gageot
The more the tests, the longer the build. And when the build gets longer, the bugs take longer to fix, the features take longer to deploy. Every build should be minutes long, all tests included.
Now lets say, our test suite takes much longer than that. How to reduce its duration? Where to start?
Making tests become useless, converting functional tests to unit tests, running tests in parallel, building projects in parallel, doing slow tasks only once, writing fast DBMS tests... Let's share dozens of tips to fasten you test suite A LOT.
[slides] Acceptance Test Driven Development using Robot Framework.pdfNhatTuanTran1
Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) is an agile software development approach that emphasizes collaboration between developers, testers, and business stakeholders to ensure that the software meets the desired requirements. It involves creating automated acceptance tests based on the expected behavior of the software before any development takes place. One popular tool for implementing ATDD is the Robot Framework.
Robot Framework is an open-source test automation framework that allows for easy creation and execution of acceptance tests. It provides a simple and readable syntax, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical team members. Robot Framework supports keyword-driven testing, allowing testers to define reusable test steps using keywords that can be easily understood by all stakeholders.
ATDD using Robot Framework follows a cycle of defining acceptance criteria, writing tests based on those criteria, and then implementing the corresponding functionality to pass the tests. This approach ensures that the software is developed based on the desired behavior and reduces the risk of miscommunication between team members.
By adopting ATDD with Robot Framework, development teams can benefit from increased collaboration, improved test coverage, and faster feedback loops. The automated acceptance tests serve as living documentation, providing clear specifications for the software's expected behavior. They also help identify any regressions or breaking changes when new features are added or modifications are made to the existing codebase.
Overall, Acceptance Test Driven Development using Robot Framework offers a structured and collaborative approach to software development, ensuring that the delivered software aligns with the desired requirements and meets the expectations of all stakeholders.
Acceptance Test Drive Development with Robot FrameworkRamdhan Hidayat
Robot Framework are Python based automation testing tool. I am using Robot Framework as acceptance test tool during development process, so that each git commit I made RF will test it automatically for me.
'Acceptance Test Driven Development Using Robot Framework' by Pekka Klarch & ...TEST Huddle
Acceptance test driven development (ATDD) is an important agile practice merging requirement gathering with acceptance testing. In its core are concrete examples, created together with the team, that provide collaborative understanding and, as automated acceptance tests, make sure that the features are implemented correctly. There are many ways to create ATDD examples/tests, and the behavior driven development (BDD) style with Given-When-Then format is one of the more popular ones.
Robot Framework is an open source test automation framework suitable for ATDD and acceptance testing in general. It has a flexible test data syntax that supports keyword-driven, data-driven, and BDD styles, but is still simple enough so that also non-programmers can create and understand test cases. The simple test library API makes extending the framework easy, and there are several ready made libraries that allow testing generic interfaces such as web, databases, Swing, SWT, Windows GUIs, Flex, and SSH out-of-the-box.
This presentation gives an introduction both to ATDD and Robot Framework. It contains different demonstrations and
all the material will be freely available after the presentation.

Click, Click, Test - Automated Tests for APEX ApplicationsKai Donato
The exhausting creation of test scripts, which are also limited to a single browser—it stops right here! With an exciting new approach, tests for APEX applications can be created in no time and are compatible with different browser engines. A look under the hood shows how to use the APEX metadata to create test scenarios which can be executed in multiple browsers with no additional effort. In this session I will show how this is possible and which software stack is necessary.
Why Should we use Microsoft's PlaywrightKnoldus Inc.
Playwright enables fast, reliable and capable testing and automation across all modern browsers. This guide covers those key differentiators to help you decide on the right tool for your automated tests.
Test all the things! Automated testing with Drupal 8Sam Becker
With Drupal 8 released, one of the most important aspects of building a website or module has changed dramatically for the better. Developers now have a myriad of tools at their disposal to be able to test their code.

If you’ve dabbled in testing but haven’t explored the depths of PHPUnit or Mink, then this session is for you.
EclipseCon Eu 2015 - Breathe life into your Designer!melbats
You have your shiny new DSL up and running thanks to the Eclipse Modeling Technologies and you built a powerful tooling with graphical modelers, textual syntaxes or dedicated editors to support it. But how can you see what is going on when a model is executed ? Don't you need to simulate your design in some way ? Wouldn't you want to see your editors being animated directly within your modeling environment based on execution traces or simulator results?
The GEMOC Research Project designed a methodology to bring animation and execution analysis to DSLs. The companion technologies required to put this in action are small dedicated components (all open-source) at a "proof of concept" maturity level extending proven components : Sirius, Eclipse Debug, Xtend making such features within the reach of Eclipse based tooling. The general intent regarding those OSS technologies is to leverage them within different contexts and contribute them to Eclipse once proven strong enough. The method covers a large spectrum of use cases from DSLs with a straightforward execution semantic to a combination of different DSLs with concurrent execution semantic. Any tool provider can leverage both the technologies and the method to provide an executable DSL and animated graphical modelers to its users enabling simulation and debugging at an early phase of the design.
This talk presents the approach, the technologies and demonstrate it through an example: providing Eclipse Debug integration and diagram animation capabilities for Arduino Designer (EPL) : setting breakpoints, stepping forward or backward in the execution, inspecting the variables states... We will walk you through the steps required to develop such features, the choices to make and the trade-offs involved. Expects live demos with simulated blinking leds and a virtual cat robot !

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
