A Frontend Web Developer’s Guide to Testing: Explore leading web test automation frameworks and their future driven by low-code and AI
Discover expert tips and best practices for maximizing the efficacy of various test automation frameworks and gain a better understanding of their capabilities for your web projects
Key FeaturesExplore the progressive features of the most advanced cross-browser test automation frameworksFormulate a solid testing strategy and strengthen your test coverage by selecting the right toolsRealize the future of cross-browser test automation and the use of AI and low-code in testingBook DescriptionTesting web applications during a sprint poses a challenge for frontend web app developers, which can be overcome by harnessing the power of new, open source cross-browser test automation frameworks. This book will introduce you to a range of leading, powerful frameworks, such as Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, and Playwright, and serve as a guide to leveraging their test coverage capability. You’ll learn essential concepts of web testing and get an overview of the different web automation frameworks in order to integrate them into your frontend development workflow. Throughout the book, you'll explore the unique features of top open source test automation frameworks, as well as their trade-offs, and learn how to set up each of them to create tests that don't break with changes in the app.
By the end of this book, you'll not only be able to choose the framework that best suits your project needs but also create your initial JavaScript-based test automation suite. This will enable fast feedback upon code changes and increase test automation reliability. As the open source market for these frameworks evolves, this guide will help you to continuously validate your project needs and adapt to the changes.

It's quite a substantial collection describing various frontend automation technologies, but also discussing strategies for approaching such automation a bit. Overall, it's a resource for juniors who would like to get a fairly classic overview of what is currently being used in the market in 2022. It will probably help someone at the beginning of their career, mainly because of its comprehensive coverage, hence the high rating.
Dość spory zbiór opisujący różne technologie automatyzacji frontendu, ale także trochę strategie jak do takiej automatyzacji podejść. Generalnie taka pozycja dla juniora, który chciałby dostać w jednym miejscu dość klasyczną przeglądówkę tego, co w 2022 jest używane na rynku. Pewnie pomoże komuś na wstępie kariery, głównie dlatego tak wysoka ocena.

I was expecting best practices, what type of testing to use when, and tips on how to better test applications. Instead it condenses the getting started parts of Selenium, Playwright, Cypress and Puppeteer documentation in the form of a book.
