- The tests themselves are written in xUnit.
- The UI testing framework we use is Selenium, extended with Atata.
- Chrome needs to be installed on your machine, the latest version. If you also want to test other browsers then install the latest version of each of them:
- For Edge only the new Chromium-based Edge is supported that you can download from here.
- For Firefox it needs to be installed too.
- For IE you'll need to do some manual configuration in the browser.
- Browser driver setup is automated with WebDriverManager.NET.
- There are multiple recording tools available for Selenium but the "official" one which works pretty well is Selenium IDE (which is a Chrome/Firefox extension). To fine-tune XPath queries and CSS selectors and also to record tests check out ChroPath (the Xpath cheatsheet is a great resource too, and XmlToolBox can help you with quick XPath queries).
- Accessibility checking can be done with axe via Selenium.Axe for .NET.
- HTML markup validation can be done with html-validate via Atata.HtmlValidation.
- Monkey testing is implemented using Gremlins.js library.
