Acceptance testing AJAX applications

Here is a summary of one of the sessions at the next AjaxWorld event in a couple of days time by David Hover who is author of the upcoming 'Acceptance Testing Rails' shortcut from Addison Wesley.

"When you need to test things that are not covered by the Rails testing framework (i.e. end-to-end AJAX), open source web testing toolkits are your best friend. While Selenium has merit and is particularly well-suited for cross-browser compatibility tests, this session will focus on putting Watir on Rails. Watir provides a clean API, simple setup, good integration into the Rails testing framework, and is supported in a growing number of browsers. Dave will demonstrate how to use Watir to test a Rails+AJAX application."

Acceptance test plan template

If you are looking for a template for an acceptance test plan then try here. They have quite a few templates that you can purchase including the acceptance test plan (when I looked at it earlier today it was retailing for $9.99 USD)..

This site defines the document as:

"An Acceptance Test Plan describes the acceptance testing process, such as the features to be tested, pass/fail criteria, approach to testing, roles and responsibilities, resource requirements and schedules."

The contents of the acceptance test plan itself are identified as:

Acceptance Test Plan

1. Scope
2. Business Processes Testing
3. Testing Approach
4. Test Schedule
5. Problem Reporting
6. Resource Requirements
7. Test Environment

10. Software Requirements
11. Hardware Requirements
12. Test Identification
13. Acceptance Test Report
14. Corrective Action
15. Summary of Results
16. Conclusion
