Goal

Increase dev confidence in functional test writing​

Covering A lot

  • Test architecture:

    • File structure, mock data, global variables

  • Turning story requirements into tests

  • Better practices and styles, including:

    • ​Better testing practices for initializing variables, variable reuse, page search/redirect placement, element selectors

    • ​Framework testing tools: rx-page-objects

    • DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) vs DAMP (Descriptive And Meaningful Phrases) testing methods
  • Debugging with the node and protractor debugging tools
