The end goal of test automation is to ease the process of testing web pages. If test automation isn’t written in a well-structured manner, then the testing process becomes ambiguous and ineffective. In Selenium, Page Factory optimizes test instances created using the page object model (POM). The POM ensures that tests are written in a…

Test automation makes verifying an application’s behavior more straightforward and consistent. Unlike manual testing, automated testing can test even the smallest unit, such as a single method, without running the entire app. Usually, to perform automated tests, you’ll need a testing library. Mocha is one such library. You can test one or more methods in your…
Testing is essential to the development process to ensure code quality and functionality. Testing can be performed manually or automated. Automated tests require less time to execute and are more efficient to run, so it’s a good idea to automate the test cases you plan to run repeatedly. This blog post will cover two of…
Mocha is a robust JavaScript test framework that has gained popularity among developers and companies.
