Overview of this book

Testing web applications during a sprint poses a challenge for frontend web app developers, which can be overcome by harnessing the power of new, open source cross-browser test automation frameworks. This book will introduce you to a range of leading, powerful frameworks, such as Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, and Playwright, and serve as a guide to leveraging their test coverage capability. You’ll learn essential concepts of web testing and get an overview of the different web automation frameworks in order to integrate them into your frontend development workflow. Throughout the book, you'll explore the unique features of top open source test automation frameworks, as well as their trade-offs, and learn how to set up each of them to create tests that don't break with changes in the app. By the end of this book, you'll not only be able to choose the framework that best suits your project needs but also create your initial JavaScript-based test automation suite. This will enable fast feedback upon code changes and increase test automation reliability. As the open source market for these frameworks evolves, this guide will help you to continuously validate your project needs and adapt to the changes.

Summary

Web application developers today are not only required to be highly skilled JavaScript developers, but also trained and aware of many other considerations, to ensure that a web application is successful, high-performing, and secure.

In this chapter, we covered the various challenges that developers should not only be aware of but need to plan for, as part of their ongoing software iterations. We specifically covered the functional challenges involved in building a winning web application, such as coverage and cross-browser compatibility, as well as the layout and styling, such as CSS, of web applications. We then touched on JavaScript coding challenges before moving on to non-functional challenges. These non-functional challenges included the performance, accessibility, and security of web applications, and what web application developers should consider daily to prevent such issues.

Keep in mind that all the challenges that were covered in this chapter are relevant for...
