Digital is breaking new grounds
Drop of 32% in branch visits in last 4 years
Chatbots as the new Digital
Interface - everywhere

Face ID Authentication
AR As a Digital Engagement

Cross-Browser Testing != Desktop Web Testing
There is no Web Testing vs.
Mobile Testing
• 4 out of 10 transactions today take place on multiple
devices
• 48% of users today complain that the websites they use are
not optimized for their smartphones and tablets

Top 5 Automation Challenges
Tighter release schedule
leaves less time to
automate and test
(lack of) Test
automation stability
and reliability block
continuous testing
Test execution
management isn’t
intelligent and
optimized enough to
guide teams through
the DevOps pipeline
activities
Evolving and
maintaining test sets
and maximizing
productivity isn’t an
ongoing practice
Overall test automation
tool stack isn’t in sync
with organizational
capabilities

Progressive Web App - Definition
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web applications that are
regular web pages or websites, but can appear to the user like
traditional applications or native mobile applications. The
application type attempts to combine features offered by most
modern browsers with the benefits of a mobile experience
(Wikipedia)

The Rise of PWAs – Challenging Native Mobile Apps
A Progressive Web App is
• Progressive - Works for every user
• Responsive - Fits any form factor
• Connectivity independent
• App-like - Feels like an app
• Safe - Served via HTTPS
• Search Friendly -allowing search engines to find it.
• Re-engageable -Support push notifications.
• Linkable - does not require complex installation
(store access)

Progressive Web App – The Offline Network Benefit
Source: VentureBeat

Progressive Web App - Architecture
• A PWA App consists of few key components
• Manifest.Json - That's the file within the PWA that describes the app, provides metadata specific
to the app like icons, splash screens, and more
• Service Workers – A service worker is a script that your browser runs in the background, separate
from a web page, opening the door to features that don't need a web page or user interaction.
Today, service workers already include features like push notifications and background sync
Service worker push notification

PWA on iOS is Different than on Android
iOS Android
App type shortcut apk
Offline data Deleted after idle time No limit
Offline storage (browser based) Safari < 50Mb Chrome 6% available storage
Sensors support Limited (BT) All
access to private information No Yes
Payment system No supported Supported
Voice support No Yes

Progressive Web App – Test Plan Strategy: Step 4
• UI and visual/layout testing across multiple form factors
• Performance and rendering of the content across platforms
• Network related testing – in addition to the offline mode that is covered through service workers,
make sure to cover the app behavior throughout various network conditions (packet loss, flight
mode, latency %, 3G, 4G, 5G etc.)
• Functionality of the entire page user flows across platforms and screen sizes and resolutions
• The differences between browsers, platforms must be covered as well (Chrome, Safari, Android,
Samsung Browser vs. built-in browsers like Facebook - number of instances or copies a PWA app
can have on a device.

Headless Browsers Role
Motivation
• Receive fast feedback (Unit and basic functional tests) – Mostly Dev
• Easy environment setup, no IT dependencies
• Uses standard JS language
• Supported and promoted by browser vendors (Google, Mozilla)
• Additional use cases to cover:
• HAR File
• Performance testing
• Basic UI
• Security

Responsive Web Design (RWD) – Tools are already here

• Identify your object in a robust fashion that fits all digital Platforms
• Build object repository and use smart locators
Responsive Web Design (RWD) - Objects
The average website includes nearly 400
different objects.
Now try locating them on each and every
DIGITAL platform in your lab…

• Take screenshot and use Visual Checkpoint/assertion to
validate responsive aspects
