Today TeamCity was showing me one functional test failure on my WPF application.
I already discussed about this problem here: White’s tip for your automated WPF functional tests
Continue readingYesterday evening I found a set of Google blog posts talking about web application acceptance testing which reflect Google experience through “Several years of experience across multiple project teams”.
This reflect lot of points I brought into our discussions either at Innoveo or Jobping; best practices, screen/page object, dev. language, recording/coding, BDD..

Today I was asked by my colleague Roy the following interesting question “Can I rerun an old build?”

So last week we announced StickyBeak, you might read more on the blog of Mark - Introduction to StickyBeak
