Testim’s support for global variables and parameters is most excellent. However, when I create custom actions that either takes parameters or uses global variables, I ran into an interesting situation. I wanted to define my global variable in a custom step and set it to a default value if it was never set. Also, so…

As developers, you are probably familiar with this scenario: you went over a code review with other developers (which you do, right?), pushed the latest fixes, ran a couple of tests by yourself, and with a big smile upon your face, you sent a message to the QA guy, Joe (a generic name for a…
If you have been in QA for any length of time, you can probably recall a project where the test suite failed every time a new build came out. You’d spend hours trying to read through the test execution report and determine why half of the test cases that ran successfully last week failed the…
We’re living in the age of automation. No matter how small or large, every company is using test automation in their projects. But why? The reason is because automation testing reduces a lot of time that testers consume while testing repetitive scenarios. In this automation age, JavaScript is a developer-only language no more.
