Automated visual regression and performance testing - the quick way

swetashahi

In this session I am going to cover how to automate visual regression testing using a simple framework using Imagemagick. Will also cover how performnace testing can be done in an automated fashion to be actually treated like a regression test.

The above means were discovered based on needs on web application I have working as a QA lead for. The web application requires lot of maintenance due to high number of contrib. modules used and a lot of custom coding on top of the drupal core. These tests were designed keeping in mind that the time require to increase test coverage is least and the tests are platform independent such that everyone on the team is capable of running the test on his/her development environment as well as a staging environment.
