Automated UI Testing with CFSelenium, MXUnit, ANT, and JenkinsCI
Learn how to build a robust, modular, automated test suite for your website's UI that models real users traversing the application. Built with the free ColdFusion tools CFSelenium and MXUnit, tests can pull in parameterized input data from external sources to make them more dynamic and flexible. Using the Page Object Design Pattern, test suites can be made more maintainable and less brittle while allowing for faster test development by abstracting how a user interacts with a website, thus minimizing the effort to fix tests when the website UI changes. Pull it all together with ANT and Jenkins for hands free, reliable test suite execution and test result notification on a daily schedule.
