Submitted Dec 25, 2013

To introduce CasperJS as a testing tool. It is especially important for testing Single Page Web App where the DOM in browser changes dynamically and most of traditional tools fail.

Outline

During the session we shall try understanding the limitations of traditional testing automation tools are failing to test modern Single Page Web Apps.

Then we shall discuss how CasperJS overcome those limitations and becomes a good tool for testing modern web apps.

We shall also discuss putting a framework around CaserJS for making the test suite development data-driven, In this way all the team members will be able to contribute without learning CasperJS and testing automation will not run behind the UI development.

Requirements

The attendees should have general understanding of software testing, web technologies like HTML, web browsers etc. and knowledge of Javascript.
