I had an interesting discussion today that I think is worth writing about. I mentioned having a problem with having a very fat component in a system since integration tests usually become a nightmare. The idea was raised that architecture should not be driven by integration tests, but rather by customer requirements and value. While at face value, this seems intuitively correct, is that so?

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.

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.

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.

Here are three important lessons we've learned at GermaniumHQ in optimizing build speeds.

Writing selectors shouldn't be always complicated. Here is a quick comparison between a few more popular selectors.

When thinking about integration tests, a lot of people think only about the source code of the tests. Of course, seeing tests like that is not only wrong, but also might prove fatal for your testing infrastructure. Let's see why...
