This book is for everyone who needs to test the web. As a tester, you'll
automate your tests. As a developer, you'll build more robust solutions.
And as a team, you'll gain a vocabulary and a means to coordinate how to
write and organize automated tests for the web. Follow the testing
pyramid and level up your skills in user interface testing, integration
testing, and unit testing. Your new skills will free you up to do other,
more important things while letting the computer do the one thing it's
really good at: quickly running thousands of repetitive tasks.
This book shows you how to do three things:
* How to write really good automated tests for the web.
* How to pick and choose the right ones.
* How to explain, coordinate, and share your efforts with others.
If you're a traditional software tester who has never written an
automated test before, this is the perfect book for getting started.
Together, we'll go through everything you'll need to start writing your
own tests.
If you're a developer, but haven't thought much about testing, this book
will show you how to move fast without breaking stuff. You'll test
RESTful web services and legacy systems, and see how to organize your
tests.
And if you're a team lead, this is the Rosetta Stone you've been looking
for. This book will help you bridge that testing gap between your
developers and your testers by giving your team a model to discuss
automated testing, and most importantly, to coordinate their efforts.
The Way of the Web Tester is packed with cartoons, graphics, best
practices, war stories, plenty of humor, and hands-on tutorial exercises
that will get you doing the right things, the right way
