The document discusses how to improve the software development process using open source tools like Selenium and CruiseControl. Selenium is demonstrated as a tool for automating web application testing. CruiseControl is described as a continuous integration tool that runs builds and tests after each code commit to provide near-immediate feedback. The benefits of these automated testing and continuous integration tools include finding problems early, encouraging good testing habits, and supporting faster development and release cycles.

2. Agenda Introduction Selenium Demo CruiseControl Showcase Conclusion

3. Share experience How do we test the web project? What’s our daily development like? Happy or painful? Why? Share your experience!

4. Question #1: Functional Test For Web app

5. Traditional approach Development Acceptance Testing Regression Testing Release Developers have moved on Too close to release Feature developed Bug found! Regression found!

6. Faster feedback Development Acceptance Testing Regression Testing Release Write test as you go Run them as often as you can Problems are found quickly

7. Why Automated? Manual testing is slow, tedious and error-prone Especially for regression Either take long time or less thorough What now? Start again? Regression Testing 3 months

8. Consistently Thorough Fast enough to start again and again and again… Regression Testing 10 minutes

9. Selenium http://www.openqa.org/selenium/

10. Selenium Open source test tool for web applications. Run in browser Test browser compatibility & system functionality. Easy to use. Test cases are written in pure HTML Clean and impressive UI

11. Demo Demo Start hsqldb Start tomcat Firefox http://localhost:8080/jpetstore http://localhost:8080/jpetstore/selenium

12. Question #2: Continuous Integration

13. What is Continuous Integration Integrates source code and runs tests after each commit of code to the source repository. Near-immediate feedback to the developer

14. Benefits of C.I. M inimizes integration risk. S upports easier defect diagnosis. Encourages good testing habit Support r elease m anagement Enforce s c ompany d evelopment p olicy

15. CruiseControl http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/

16. About CruiseControl Think of it as “ timer for Ant”. Simple design. Full featured, but not bloated. Adapts to your project, not the other way around. Can be completely customized.

17. Build loop of C.C. VCS Build Artifacts Dir Mail/Sound/Light… 1. Bootstrap 2. Check for modifications 3. Get the revision log Cruise Control Your project’s Build file Ant, Maven, Make 2. Run Build 5. Publish Artifacts 6. Send to publisher 1. Get the latest source 3. Tag source (optional) Project Specific Adapter - Ant Script 4. Run Build

18. Showcase

19. Conclusion DRY, use automation test/continuous tools help you improve your development process, and maximize customer value. Selenium helps you test webapp more easily. Keep CruiseControl running. it gives you feedback as soon as possible.
