What’s the “smell” of my tests?
What about robustness?

• Small prototypes
• POCs
• Tool integrations
Always trying to think outside the box
DockerPutting tests in a container
Docker
Quick Intro
Anybody not familiar with docker/containers?
Two options
• Running Rx test in a container
• Mobile tests (POC with BitBar)
• Selenium tests
• Running SUT in container
• Web-apps
Limitations of Windows containers
• Native Windows apps supported by docker
Windows containers
• No GUI-apps supported yet
• No RDP (or similar) possible
It is on our radar
Quick Demo
• Run single web test locally
Automate Wordpress bootstrapping process
Can only be run once per WP instances
• Move to Containers
• Spawn Docker container with Ranorex
• Run test on Selenium Box
• Destroy Docker container
Multiple parallel executions possible
What’s the “smell” of my tests?
An add-on provided by Qualicen
Ranorex test meta analysis
• Based on an add-on provided by Qualicen
https://www.qualicen.de
• Analysis of
• Recording modules
• Test suite
… more to come
• Webinar planned
Demo
What about robustness?
How to achieve robustness?
Multiple selectors
• „Fuzzy“ selectors
• Structural / positional /
attribute based
• Attribute matching• String distances
• Position• In tree
• On screen
Element not found…
Really?
• “Element not found” errors
“Earlier” error
Screen did not change
Consider whole UI
Remember automation “path”
Element not found…
Dynamic ID/label?
• Feature calculation on ID
• Numbers
• String-Lengths
…
Classification with SVM/LDA/…
• ID matching regex “growing”
80-90% accuracy
