Taza

DESCRIPTION:

Taza is meant to make acceptance testing more sane for developers(or QA where applicable) and customers.

FEATURES:

• Generate a project for browser-based testing
• Generate pages and sites for different applications
• Create flows that move through a site
• Use filters to control which elements are accessible on a page depending on its state
• Taza automatically creates and cleans up the browser for each site just like a File block
• Manage tests by tags
• Cross-site testing

ISSUES:

• Taza has only been used in the wild with WATIR, but Selenium support is built-in
• Taza’s generators currently generate RSpec specs, Test::Unit and other test framework support is planned

SYNOPSIS:

Taza is meant to be a refreshing way to look at browser testing. Taza provides a few ways to abstract browser-based
testing into three simple ideas.

• Sites
• Pages
• Flows
  Sites have Pages.
  Pages have Elements and Filters.
  Flows are common actions on a site such as logging in or performing a search.

EXAMPLE

Here’s an example for starting a project around the Google sites

$ taza google $ cd google/ $ ./script/generate site google $ ./script/generate page home_page google $ ./script/generate flow search google $ rake spec:functional:google

That will generate an RSpec HTML report at artifacts/functional/google/index.html
