After a lot of work, the Germanium Selector Builder Chrome Plugin is finally completed. It's now available on the Chrome Store as both a Free and a Pro Version.

Python has bundled into it a rather decent testing framework, that resembles a lot JUnit, named unittest. This is packaged in the core python, and it's simple to use. While I'm a big fan of Behave, sometimes, especially if testing low-level APIs, it's less verbose to just write a core python unit test. In this article we explore how to create our first test.

Testing a website for accessibility might prove challenging. Fortunately with the advent of some opensource tools, it's easier to test for problems, but automating this is a challenge. In this article we'll explore how to setup a Jenkins pipeline that runs pa11y - a popular opensource accessibility checker - inside a docker container.

One of the most time consuming things for this website, was cleaning up the tags. They used to be an unorganized mess, and I was adding new ones as I was writing new articles. A lot of the tags had a single article. Some were misspells of an existing tag. A strangely disconnected cloud of tags existed, and wasn’t exactly clear what connected where. At some point I just realized this has got to stop.

The 3rd part of our 3 part series in which we'll explore how to get started in using germanium. We'll assume the only thing you have is python and a browser, and we'll go from writing the first test, to integrating the test suite in a CI/CD system, in our case Jenkins.

Behave it's a fantastic BDD testing framework. In case you have no idea what BDD is, it's a way of writing your tests in a human readable fashion (i.e. English), and implement each sentence in code.

Continuing the previous article with concrete code examples of the ultimate automation achievable in the Germanium stack (Selenium, WebDriver, Germanium, Behave).

Let's talk about the benefits of abstraction and some historical Selenium notes in the context of Selenium and Germanium.
