We need to get Jenkins installed, configured and running. Jenkins has to be one the testers most useful tools. It’s not just handy for kicking off automated tests it’s indispensable for automating all sorts of processes you have to complete day in day out. We’re going to cover 4 main areas here… 1. Jenkins Installation 2. Installing Jenkins Plugins 2. Jenkins Configuration 3. Deploying and Building the Application Under Test By the time we’ve completed the module we will have Jenkins running on our Windows Master machine. The Jenkins configuration will...

Our 6 module course on Building the Test Automation Framework starts with Amazon Web Services (AWS). We’re going to use AWS, and more specifically, the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to build our test environment and automation system. It all starts with configuring and running up the virtual machines we need to run everything on. If you haven’t read our introduction to Building the Test Automation Framework you can read more here: An Introduction to Building the Test Automation Framework This first module is all about understanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).   We’re going to cover six key areas: First, creating an AWS account (you can skip this part if you already have one) Secondly, configuring two...

Welcome to Building the Test Automation Framework. A 6 part course that takes you step by step through the process of building a test automation framework. A test automation framework we’ll build completely from open source tools. Each of the 6 modules is a short course in it’s own right. Each module covering tools like; Amazon Web Services, Jenkins, Selenium, Git, SoapUI and JMeter. When we’ve finished we’ll have a distributed test automation framework. A framework based on the principals of Continuous Integration and Devops. This is about building a framework at the system level that gives you the platform to automate much of what you need to do on a day to day basis.   To build this platform we...
