Dependency Analysis Tool (ALDependencyAnalysis)

Test Automation Examples - a GitHub repository

Over almost a decade I have been evangelizing test automation by , presenting at various conferences and webinars, workshops, and, eventually last year, writing a .

Testing, more specifically test automation, is too often considered a cost center instead of an essential part of our daily development practice. In my joined article with Global Mediator, called , we shared with you a number of thoughts on this (and we owe you a number of follow-up posts on that).

... can help some more to take the threshold. For this I have started a new GitHub repository which I baptized . Follow the link to have a look there.

The Test Automation Examples repository will become over time a collection of examples used in my test automation classes/workshops.

Each example will have an efficient scope description that will be accompanied with a flowchart. Each app will be defined by a coherent and complete set of ATDD scenarios in PowerShell format allowing them to be converted into code. I will do my best to provide both AL and CAL app and test code.

As part of my first I have uploaded the first example, called , to the repository. Be welcome to make use of this example, and any next one, and even more: be invited to contribute by improvement suggestions or even proposing new examples. Let's challenge each other to the next level of development practice and get us all on test automation!

BTW: this week the  will start. There are still seats available.
