Manual testing of websites

and its problems

Most of the QA (developers as well) actions are clicking, typing, visual analysing, thinking

How could we speed up clicking and typing?

Developers has a secret!

Lets count how much time is required to test feature e.g. Drupal.org search

Retest that feature

Retest all those features

Obvious problems:

• Lack of reusability 
• Lack of experience sharing
• Human factor
• Developers should not need QA after first feature approvement

Do you cover you codefeature with tests?

Drupal Behat Extension!

Great integration with Drupal as a CMS

# Add new user with given role and sign in
And I am logged in as a user with the "administrator" role


# Create user with given name and email then create node with given fields
Given users:
    | name     | mail            | status |
    | Joe User | joe@example.com | 1      |
And "article" nodes:
    | title          | author   | body             | promote |
    | Article by Joe | Joe User | PLACEHOLDER BODY | 1       |

Great integration with Drupal as framework with own API
