Add Automated Testing to your Project in an Afternoon

Have you ever wanted to add automated testing to your project, but always struggle to find the time? Are you part of a small Drupal shop that’s always wanted to learn about Behat or Simpletest, but competing development priorities always seem to get in your way?

If this sounds familiar, come see how a Visual Regression testing tool like Wraith can get you some of the benefits of test automation with very little effort. In a single afternoon, you can install a toolset which can crawl and compare a development environment to production. When complete, you will have a nicely organized report with a list of images showing the differences between your development and production sites.

This presentation will walk you through creating simple automated tests to prove the following:

• Pages load successfully, without errors.
• Items on the page appear in your testing environment as they do in production. Ex:
  • Menus
  • Forms
  • Images
  • Views

Note that this is not meant to be a replacement for tools like Behat, Simpletest, or PHPUnit - only a quick dip into the world of automated testing for newbies.
