The power of end-to-end testing

Selenium in .NET for Testers and developers

About the Book

In this book, I want to show you the power of web applications end-to-end testing. Besides of all that great functionality, the framework which I want to describe here is very easy to use and understand. Moreover using some techniques to design and architect test cases, it will be quite easy to maintain and use that kind of tests.

The Power of End-To-End Testing" by Adrian Sroka is End-To-End book. If you wonder how to design, organize and implement tests in your application, you should read that book. The Author discusses carefully a lot of aspects of E2E tests, including: locating UI elements, performing actions, navigating, handling errors, asynchronous calls. There is also quite wide and clear description of Page Object pattern and Fluent Interface (both proposed by Martin Fowler).
