Description

Testing web applications during a sprint poses a challenge for frontend web app developers, which can be overcome by harnessing the power of new, open source cross-browser test automation frameworks. This book will introduce you to a range of leading, powerful frameworks, such as Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, and Playwright, and serve as a guide to leveraging their test coverage capability. You’ll learn essential concepts of web testing and get an overview of the different web automation frameworks in order to integrate them into your frontend development workflow. Throughout the book, you'll explore the unique features of top open source test automation frameworks, as well as their trade-offs, and learn how to set up each of them to create tests that don't break with changes in the app. By the end of this book, you'll not only be able to choose the framework that best suits your project needs but also create your initial JavaScript-based test automation suite. This will enable fast feedback upon code changes and increase test automation reliability. As the open source market for these frameworks evolves, this guide will help you to continuously validate your project needs and adapt to the changes.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I pre-ordered "A Front-End Web Developer's Guide to Testing" on the strength of the author's previous works, but its arrival couldn't have been timelier as I joined a new team and one of the first tasks was to select a Web test automation framework. While the book focuses on four popular frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium), it is much more than a recitation of each framework's capabilities. This book is about how to go about the process of selecting the best framework for your needs.The book opens discussing front-end testing in general. It discusses common testing methodologies, including both functional and non-functional testing. It introduces some of the more popular frameworks used in front-end development and the different challenges these pose when attempting to automate tests.The second section of the book deals with the quality needs of the team and mapping these to the core capabilities of the frameworks under discussion. This begins to build a decision-making model used throughout the rest of the book. This may be the real value of the book. Learning to make the decision lasts well past the current selection.And, of course, the book looks deeply at each of the four frameworks. More than a recitation of the READ.ME page for each framework, the author peels back the cover to give an in-depth view of the capabilities. Even more important, he calls out shortcomings of the frameworks and where the focus should be for the future.In the closing section, there is a brief discussion of a handful of commercial low-code/no-code tools.So, who should read this book? The obvious answer is anyone involved in the selection of an end-to-end Web testing framework. However, this is a great read for anyone involved in software testing - whether you have the word "test" in their title or not. Leads, managers, and architects will benefit from the decision making framework. I have recommended it to the testers I work with and the development leads of the teams we serve.

Eran clearly explains why and how to apply a frontend testing strategy to your codebase and to adopt a testing mindset in your organisation.I think the code examples are easy to understand for anyone who has at least 2 years of experience with JavaScript, but I am sure that even a beginner wouldn't struggle.I strongly believe that a Test Driven Development (TDD) approach is more than ever necessary to build web applications that can scale and that can be maintanable for a long time: this book offers a good starting point for moving to a TDD culture.From a practical point of view, the book covers the top Web Test automation frameworks: Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, Puppeteer and Microsoft Playwright.From a 'philosophical' point of view, I am sure Eran will convince you to start writing tests as soon as possible for your code (I personally loved chapter 6!).What can I say? As a Senior Software Engineer who has spent a lot of his professional career dealing with browsers, web technologies and cloud I would highly recommend "A Frontend Web Developer's Guide to Testing" to all my Front End colleagues!

This book offers a comprehensive perspective of the modern web development tooling and approach needed to delivery a high-quality application to users with high velocity. The book sets the scene with the latest in web development frameworks, and how they differ. Then, it turns to detail the challenges facing web developers and test teams. Then, it dives into great depths into common test frameworks, from the fundamentals all the way to extensions, integrations and future potential improvements. Last, it touches on the modern low/no code set of solutions.In my experience, many organizations, from startups to mature enterprises, either do not have a solid strategy for web testing at scale, or are struggling with modernization decisions needed to facilitate growth of the business. Every dev and/or test leader are asking themselves what should be the tooling, staffing and process. In my view, this book should be part of informed decision making in many of those teams.

I’ve learned so much about the most advanced test automation frameworks that can serve as great tools for frontend web developers and test engineers as they develop modern web apps. Covering RWD, PWA and leading web development frameworks like Vue, react, and angular for which the covered test frameworks can asses their quality is a perfect guide.
