What We Will Talk About

•Agile Methodology Expects Build, Deploy, Test Automation

•A Continuous Integration Strategy

•Ajax and Mobile Testing Methodology

•Repurposing for Functional and Performance Testing

•Becoming A CI Architect

Agile Methodology in a Process

7-day Sprint

Highest Priority

Backlog of Changes,Improvements

• App does not run on iOS • Rendering problems• UX fails at 45 users • Overnight reports needed

Funding and Feedback

Acceptance

✓ Unit Tests Pass✓ Functional Tests Pass✓ Usability Tests Pass✓ Perf Under Load Pass✓ Stress Tests Completed✓ Production Monitor In Place

Agile Without CI?

Why Do Continuous Integration?

•It’s free and easy

•Your Test Suites Take Longer Than “Overnight” To Run

•High Risk App Launch

•Software build/deploy/test plan of record (How do I?)

•Easy to go from functional to performance testing

•Keeps you productive, while long projects build/deploy/test

Why Avoid Continuous Integration

•You Work In A Small Shop

•Stakeholders Unable To Participate

•No One To Manage Projects on Jenkins

•One-shot project (build, launch, forget)

•Deploy/Test Requires Human Intervention

•Low Risk App Launches

Continuous DevOps

•Continuous Integration

• Dashboard To Testing

•Continuous Deploy

• Automatic app deployment

•Continuous Testing

• Regression on Commit

• Repurpose for Load Tests

Test CI Runtime

How Do I Get Jenkins?

•Run on Cloudbees (Fully Managed)

•Run on AWS, IBM Softlayer (Self Managed)

•Download and Run Internally (Self Managed)

•Then, Plug-in Test As A Service Platform

CloudBees Jenkins Configuration

What Is The Measurement of Success

•Functional Testing Defines End User Experience Success

• Browser Compatibility, UX Latency, Configuration/Integration Problems

•Performance Testing Identifies Business Risk To Launch

• How Many People Are We Ready To Serve At Any Given Time

•Stress Testing Identifies The Experience As The App Fails

• International Bank App Showing Other User Details

Testing Measures Business Risk

✓ Unit Tests Pass✓ Functional Tests Pass✓ Usability Tests Pass✓ Perf Under Load Pass✓ Stress Tests Completed✓ Production Monitor In Place

A Testing Strategy for You

•Working With Today’s Apps, Pages, Tools • Serverless Architecture means pages that have state, workflow, communication

• Real time analytics and immediate fix - at the same time

• Extending tools to support new technology

•Beginning To End Testing •Scaling Up Your Team’s Efforts

• Higher Productivity

• Test Management

•Cost Effectiveness and Immediate Support

How Do I Get App Testing?

•Ajax App Testing

• Sahi, Selenium, WebDriver

• Unit Testing more difficult, easier to maintain

• JMeter does not work in Ajax

•Mobile App Testing

• Appium for iOS, Android

• Unit Testing of REST and SOAP services using soapUI, HAR, JMeter

• Others, very limited support and no repurposing to performance tests

Executing Appium Tests from Jenkins

#Start appium server appium_log=appium.log appium_cmd="node <REPLACE_WITH_APPIUM_PATH>/appium/lib/server/main.js" echo "[INFO] Appium command: $appium_cmd" $appium_cmd &> $appium_log& appium_pid=$! #check if appium was successfully started sleep 1 appium_pid_start=`ps -p $appium_pid | grep node | awk '{ print $1 }'` if [ -z $appium_pid_start ] ; then echo "[ERROR] Appium failed to start! Port $appiumport may be already in use. " exit 1 fi echo "[INFO] Appium started with pid: $appium_pid . Logging to: ${appium_log}" # be sure to kill appium on script stop trap "kill $appium_pid" SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT

Why Treat Functional/Performance Tests Differently?

•Repurposing Benefits

• Single Test Scripts for All Testing

• Pivot Back and Forth Rapidly

• Natural for Continuous Integration and Automation

•Performance Test

• Run at Low, Medium, High Virtual User Levels

• Scalability Index Report Answers Risk Questions

TestScenario Repurposing

Correlation To Back End Load

Backend Correlation

Strategy for Mobile Test Runtime

•Run Test in Emulators (Mac and Android) 90%

•Run Test in Real Devices 10%

•Run Test with Real People 5%

•Balance The Results

•Business Risk Analysis = Ready To Launch

We’re going to run the test between 1-2 pm, get as many real people on it then

Become A CI Architect

•Draw A Line From Business Risk To Your Integration Plan

How To Get Started

•Attend Scrum Meetings, Ask A Few Questions

•Ask The Business Manager for an App About Risks

•Ask the Developers Where The Test Coverage Is Thin

•Choose An Appropriate Test Script Authoring Tool

•Write or Record A Test

•Commit The Test to svn, CVS, other repository

•Plug-in To CI and Maintain

Contents of a CI Plan

•Identify the Parts

• Beginning-To-End of User Experience, including Data

• Units of App Function

•Success/Fail Criteria

• 50,000 User Transactions per 10 Minutes with less than 1% Errors

• Functional Test on IE 8, Firefox 16, iOS 5

•User Archetypes and Workflow

•Performance Under Load and Stress
