Test tool strategies for lone testers - Test Leadership Congress 2019 Presentation

General Information

This repo contains all of the examples that will be covered in the "Test tool strategies for lone testers" presentation (click here to watch it on YouTube). More information about this Test Leadership Congress 2019 presentation can be found here... https://testleadershipcongress2019.sched.com/event/O5Zg/test-tool-strategies-for-lone-testers

This will be an ongoing project that I will keep working on. Any existing/new reusable examples, existing/new presentations, new approaches, or new tool experiments contained in this repo will be part of a book that I am currently writing.

The following are the basic technical requirements to run the examples during the presentation.

The following are optional requirements that you can install on your machine. They will be explained in the presentation and demonstrations.

Here is a brief summary of some of the tools used in this presentation.

The examples in the presentation use a lot of Shell scripting. If you have a Windows operating system, the following options may work for you.

Before the presentation, please run the following on your machine.

git clone https://github.com/jg8481/Tool-Strategies-Lone-Testers-Test-Leadership-Congress-2019.git
cd ./Tool-Strategies-Lone-Testers-Test-Leadership-Congress-2019

Set up .env and local.env files using the provided template.env and template.local.env files. After setting up your .env and local.env files you can run the following, but it will require Docker on your machine.

./start-specific-docker-example-workflows-for-workshop.sh Build-Images-Teardown-Old-Docker-Containers

Slides for the presentation and additional videos of content that was not covered in the Test Leadership Congress 2019 conference recordings can be found in this repo.

This "Test tool strategies for lone testers" presentation is based on a workshop that was done at RoboCon 2019 in Finland. More information can be found in the following.

I also wrote an article on Medium describing the gist of the hybrid-manual-automated approach covered in the presentation.

Additional slides for future presentations and webinars that used the tool examples in this Test Leadership Congress 2019 repo as a template.

Big thank you to the following people and groups.

Their contributions to the testing community helped me a lot with this presentation and my day-to-day work.
