A Different Approach to UI Testing

by @christianschuff

Minimal Test Pyramid

Demo

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Chrome
• Mock Server
• Local Run Script

Problems

• Animations/Anti-aliasing (use misMatchThreshold and/or sap-ui-animationMode=none)

• Ensure consistent environment (sap-ui-language)

• No of screenshots grows quickly -> gets messy

• Relatively slow

• Correctness and quality of reference determines test quality
