My talk about how awesome OSS has been for the WD.js Node.js webdriver client.

1. WD.js
Functional Testing with Node
@admc

2. ME: GITHUB.COM/ADMC
• OSAF 2007, released Windmill Project
• Slide 2008, released WatiN, FlexPilot
• Mozilla 2009, released MozMill
• Sauce Labs 2010 - 2012
• Se Builder, FlexPilot
• Jellyfish, WD

3. JS Test Stack
Test Stack
Manual, otherwise still not
impressed.
WebDriver: WD (pronounced wood),
WebDriverJS, webdriver-js
Zombie.js, Phantom, Tobi
QUnit
Jasmine
Vows
Mocha

4. Jellyfish
• run JS everywhere
• headless & browsers
• one library, easy install
• mobile
• over zealous

5. WD.js, why?
• small project
• node.js -> web driver
• 3 methods
• easy to install (npm rocks)

6. Open Source
ROCKS!
<-- Thanks! (minus me) :)

7. Contributions
• code organization
• json wire protocol methods
• leak detection
• chaining, parallelization
• documentation
• tests (for realz) - wanna see?

8. Ecosystem
• node-wd-sync: sync version of WD.js
• node-wd-zombie: WD.js API for Zombie.js
• both support coffeescript
• parallel-wd: multiple browser configs
• burnout: async, chainable, dry- library
• wd-unit: runner for jasmine, qunit (in
progress)

9. Zombie.js
• 2001, I helped save lost pets
• code sample
• fast!
• frustrating API
• project needs attention

10. DEMO
- LPN: JS, Coffee
- Guinea-pig: JS, Coffee
- WD-Sync: Parallel and Non

11. Test Writing is :-(
• github.com/admc/sebuilder
• (FF extension)
• plugin architecture in progress
• WD exporter in progress
• will help speed up the process

12. Lessons
• abstract locators
• pre-run with headless
• parallelize
• continuous integration
• holy grail

13. The Holy Grail
