I have been using Python + Selenium for years. Honestly speaking, I’m far from a frontend expert or a QA expert. Here are my lessons learned from this journey.
If you’re also a Python user and need GUI testing, check this out!
How Would You Enforce Code Static Check? Learn and understand the check tools. Then install and configure them in your servers.
With docker, it could be much easier than ever! Let me show you how. The solution has built-in supports for: Python, Ruby, Shell. (You definitely can add more).
And What Does It Take? 5 minutes. Yes, you hear me. Only 5 minutes!
How fast your web pages load on client sides, especially the portal or login pages? And how do you detect unexpected 302, 404 or 5XX responses. It would probably hurt your user experience or even the functionalities. Slow or problematic page loading are always bad.
Good, if you have examined that carefully. And most likely, with multiple unpleasant manual steps. The thing is how can you be so sure that it’s always good. Even with the endless code changes.
To automate the GUI test? You have to learn lots of GUI automation skills, and the complicated setup. Yes, I certainly believe you are capable for this, my friend. But you might not have enough time.
Good news! With container technology, things are way much easier now. Check out this short post. And have a try now!
Rubocop is a static code check tool for ruby. Very handy and powerful.
Here is a list of Common Rubocop Errors, for your reference. You can simply search by your Rubocop error message in this post. And get your code improved quickly.
Shell scripting is a must-have skill for DevOps. I used to be very very confident at Shell. But when I first tried ShellCheck, I realized that I’m just too proud and arrogant.
ShellCheck is a powerful code analysis tool for shell scripts. Like Pylint for Python or Rubocop for Ruby. Give it a try! You’ll get surprised.
