A Smattering of Selenium #150

Fri, 06/14/2013 - 17:24

Yup, this smattering has very little to do with Selenium, but… 150!

Referencing DOM from JS: there must be a DRYer, safer way is a nice ‘here is where I started, and here is how I ended up where I am’ post which can be stolen into other languages / frameworks other than in Backbone
Hash lookup in Ruby, why is it so fast? is not something I was wondering, but now I know why.
Nobody understands the GIL – in any language.
Resource Locator Discussion – namespace all the things!
How to Survive the Coming Test Automation Zombie Apocalypse is abso-freaking-lutely awesome
Blackhole proxy to block all external calls is a snippet that came out of SeConf this week
Filter a list into two parts. Ouch. My brain just broke. (But generators do that to me.)
What you need to know about dates and times in computing could be useful. If one kindles.
SSL Helpers is a couple python scripts for manipulating certificates
storyautomation seems to have a number of decent posts. Of course, they are around RC so I was hesitant to link to it, but it looks like the ideas could transpose up to WebDriver

A Smattering of Selenium #149

Too. Many. Tabs.

Internationalization and Localization Testing — yup, I agree.

5 HTML5 Features you need to know – ‘download attribute’ and ‘datalist element’ might be a pain for us automators. Or at least cause a couple hours annoyance until we figure out the pattern.

Death to sleeps! Raise of Conditions! – expected conditions is likely the next thing to get more marketing this year

line_profiler and kernprof – profiling is black magic voodoo

Naught – ‘Naught is a toolkit for building Null Objects in Ruby.’

Replacing a substring of a string with Python – Raymond’s answers always simultaneously break my break and blow my mind.

When splitting an empty string in Python, why does split() return an empty list while split(‘\n’) returns ['']? – see what I mean?

So you want to build a framework – mine, but important. (I think.)

Locks, Actors, And STM In Pictures – ya! pictures!

Packaging a ruby script as an Windows exe using OCRA looks like something useful

A Smattering of Selenium #148

Gotta start this up again…

The Evil Tester Guide To HTTP Proxies appears to be more for using proxies for manual testing, but you should be running your automation through one as well so it helps to understand the magic that takes place.

New BrowserMob Proxy release. Bindings should all be updated for the newly exposed methods in a couple days.

5 Things You Should Stop Doing With jQuery – Not sure whats better, the content, or the Saved By The Bell theme

testtools is the latest hotness in the world of Python runners?

Boris looks pretty useful for the PHP folks

Google’s Scaled Trunk Based Development – even if you are not Google, you should be doing this. Or as much as you can (again, you are likely not Google)

Reliably Testing Asynchronous UI W/ RSpec and Capybara isn’t new, but the wait_for_dom thing is new [to me]

In defense of <canvas> – canvas worries me

One Does Not Simply Set Profile for Remote Chrome is Watir, but links to the pure WebDriver in SO article. I don’t think any of the other bindings deliver chrome profiles over the wire…

The Moodle Functional Test Automation Harness – always fun to peek into other’s suites
