Desenvolvimento e reutilização de testes automatizados em aplicações web

Abstract

The ongoing need for a reliable software solution compelled development companies to perform automated testing of their systems. From that context, several tools and frameworks emerged to address this need, aiming to improve time optimization and the effectiveness of the implemented applications. However, developing a new test for every new functionality or system need is known to be costly and highgly demanding of human resources. Therefore, this work presents reusable testing approaches to allow convenient and easy development of new tests, written in Java language. In this work, three solutions for testing web systems were developed. The first one is an approach for unit tests and the remaining are focused on functional tests. The language Cucumber and the frameworks Selenium and JUnit were applied to this purpose. Finally, comparisons among developed solutions are presented, highlighting the strenghts of each approach.
