Today’s Testing Challenges

• Need to test as early in the cycle as possible

• Execution time is critical: tests must run as part of the CI/CD

• Multiple platforms, devices, languages, etc.

• Shorter than ever stabilization time (if any at all)

• Applications are becoming more complex and fragmented than ever• User Experience (UX) expectations have raised – users expect nothing less than

perfection• Increased usage of 3rd party integrations (Twitter, Facebook, PayPal, AWS, etc.)

UI Testing

Pros• Tests the actual interface as the real user• Covers Business Flows• Can be easily covered in manual testing• Automate once, run all the time• Covers application areas that don’t have unit

tests• Detects differences in behavior between

platforms

Cons• UI Stability: usually stabilized late in the cycle• Maintaining UI objects in case of change• Increased support matrix

• OSs, browsers• Mobile: devices, platforms

• Execution time longer compared to API testing

Protocol Usage by APIs

APIs, Micro-Services, IoT, Sensors, Beacons, etc.UI-less Testing is on the Rise

• Teams are required to test early in the cycle, when the UI is not ready• 20% want to involve testers earlier (World Quality Report 2015)• Public APIs (and the API business model) are being exposed as part of the

product offering• Raise of 53% in Public APIs available since 2013 (programmableweb.com)

• Your front-end may be a device with no monitor• Single-page apps• APIs will become the actual product• IoT, computing everywhere

Today

Tomorrow

API Testing

• Can be done earlier in the cycle• Early feedback for the core business logic• More stable than the UI• Same services can be used across all devices and

platforms. Device specific tests can be completed later.

• Runs faster than UI tests• Can be used for quick data population • Tests & validates functionality that might not be

exposed in the UI

Cons• Requires a more technical skill set • Harder to build the business flow• Testing without a business context• Still need to test the UI

Pros Cons

Database Engine Ranking

Source: http://db-engines.com/en/rankingCopyright © 2015 solid IT gmbh.

Database Testing

• Data is an important asset in the system• Some code (functions, procedures) is stored and

run in the database itself• Populate your databases as part of your tests• Easily extract tokens and information to be used

in UI testing

• Scripting, query, and DB specific skills are needed• Testing without a business context• Harder to build the business flow• Databases are not always accessible • NoSQL databases are more complicated to access

The Forrester Wave™: Modern Application Functional Test Automation Tools, Q2 2015

by Diego Lo Giudice, April 17, 2015

“Target 80% Functional Test Automation and 20% manual testing.

To reach around 80% of FTA, Agile teams test at the API level. ……Ratchet down UI test automation in favor of API test automation. Modern applications require a shift of the current 80% UI automation down to 5% to 10% approximately, shifting about 80% of that test automation to be replaced by API test automation. “

Our Own Best Practices

• Focus on API testing early in the cycle. Complete the UI coverage only when it is stabilized.

• Don’t work on an “empty” system. Populate it using your DB and APIs.• Each test should be independent of other tests (for parallelism, easier

investigation, etc.). • Use the APIs as the test setup and continue with the UI for the core

functionality test only.• Run your tests as part of your CI/CD process: the entire suite should run for

no more than a couple of minutes, preferably API testing only, and provide core functionally feedback.

• Run your complete suits as part of the nightly build.
