My newest Pluralsight course was just published and you can start watching today. Selenium is a tool that allows you to automate a web browser and simulate an end-user interacting with your web app. You can combine Selenium with a test framework such as xUnit.net to create tests that check your web app is working as expected.
Automated browser tests can compliment your other types of tests such as unit and integration tests.
From the course description: “Unit and integration tests can help you catch a range of bugs, but not all of them. Even if your unit and integration tests pass, you could still deploy your web app to production and find it doesn’t work as expected. In this course, Creating Automated Browser Tests with Selenium in C#, you will gain the ability to create tests that automate the browser and simulate a real person using your web app. First, you will learn how to set up your test project and write your first test. Next, you will discover how to interact with web page elements from your tests, such as clicking a button or typing text. Finally, you will explore how to create a suite of automated web tests that are easier to maintain over time. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Selenium automated browser testing needed to help ensure your web app is working as expected before you release it to production.”

SpecFlow is a tool that can translate natural language scenarios (e.g. writing in English or other spoken languages) into test code. This can allow business people, users, or other stakeholders to verify that the correct features are being built.
Selenium is a tool that allows test code (multiple programming languages supported) to automated a web browser. This allows the creation of automated UI tests that operate the web application as if an end user where doing it; for example clicking buttons and typing text into input boxes.
My new Pluralsight course shows how to integrate these two tools.
The course is organized into four modules:
- Introduction to Business Readable Web Testing
- Getting Started with Selenium
- Adding Business Readability with SpecFlow
- Creating More Maintainable Web Automation
If you’re new to SpecFlow I suggest watching this course first before moving on to Automated Business Readable Web Tests with Selenium and SpecFlow.
