As organizations adopt Agile development, functionality and complexity grow and code bases expand rapidly. Testers must work with developers throughout iterations while ensuring previously released features remain functional and manual testing alone can’t always keep pace. Test automation can provide a solution to verifying both new and existing functionalities, especially with short sprints. XBOSoft strategically chose Selenium for web-based test automation, complemented by Appium for mobile platforms. We’ve developed numerous Selenium testing frameworks that facilitate cross-browser and regression testing.
Selenium is a powerful open-source testing tool that gained popularity due to its flexibility and extensive capabilities. As an open-source solution, it offers several benefits beyond just being free
While Selenium has an active support community, solutions aren’t always easy to find, even when trying to solve common issues such as object recognition. Download our white paper Solving Selenium Common Issues – Tips and Tricks to better understand how to locate elements in Selenium, why it’s important, and some of the approaches and solutions we’ve identified for addressing this challenging issue, including:
Our journey with the Selenium Automation Testing Tool is extensive and hasn’t always been easy. While we’ve designed and implemented many testing frameworks that significantly improvement script execution speeds and maintainability, we’ve also learned valuable lessons that inform our practices today for long-term success. Some key insights include:
When encountering issues like ChromeDriver crashes or other framework-related problems, we have successfully developed rapid solutions to mitigate these challenges. This flexibility is one of the main reasons we favor Selenium for developing our testing frameworks and to ensure maintainability and robustness.
We believe our success stems from our talented team, which possesses hundreds of years of combined test experience. The Selenium Framework has proven to be an excellent tool for developing and executing automated tests. Through our experience, we have mastered Selenium and enhanced our services by customizing and extending the TestNG framework. Additionally, we have tailored our configurations to support new reporting functions that allow us to feed Jenkins test results into client’s test case management systems.
Mitel, based in Ontario, Canada, is a global provider of cloud communications. XBOSoft began providing testing services in 2010 to Benbria, at the time a small start-up whose product division was acquired by Mitel in 2016. They rely on us for a wide range of testing services including API Automated Testing and Selenium Automated Testing. To learn more about our collaboration with Mitel, check out our Mitel case study.
We hold PMP, ISTQB, and ISO27001 certifications, reflecting our adherence to rigorous standards in project management, software testing, information security, and internal controls.
