Kickstarting End-to-End Testing at Stanford Neuroscience with Automated Testing Kit

Starting an automated testing program can take a lot of work:

• you need to learn the new tool
• you have to write the tests
• you have to write helper functions to speed up writing tests
• you need to learn about topics such as flakiness and the art of targeting elements
• you need to learn how to kick off tests across multiple systems, such as with GitHub Actions and other CI/CD systems.

It can be a lot, especially for a team that is new to testing. There must be a way to make this process easier and now there is: use Automated Testing Kit.

The new Stanford Neuroscience site wanted end-to-end tests to ensure new and existing features worked upon every release. By implementing Automated Testing Kit and its suite of Playwright tests, they:

• saved implementation time with almost two-dozen tests that they didn't have to write

• wrote custom tests quickly using the 17 helper functions in the Kit

• took advantage of the unique features of Kit, such as pre-flight checks, test cleanup and hooks that make targeting elements easier

• set themselves up for a future of continuous quality checks release after release.    

Come to this session to learn how you can quickly implement Automated Testing Kit and get the benefits of end-to-end testing today.
