LESSON 1

DARREL'S TUTORIALS LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION

Transcript:

Hi, I'm Darrel, a mabl solution architect.

I've worked with software teams for around 20 years,

often as a tester,

and I'm excited to be your guide through this series of videos

in which we'll explore all the different features of mabl

so you can learn how to use our product to implement

a successful front end test automation solution for yours.

We're gonna start at the very beginning with the basics

before moving onto more advanced topics like

data-driven testing,

conditional logic, generating test data,

visual and responsive testing, all kinds of stuff.

You're gonna learn how to create user journeys

through your application with the mabl trainer,

how to configure them to run in stages or in parallel,

and how to interpret all the different diagnostics,

metrics and insights that mabl provides.

And I hope you're ready, because it's going to be hands on

with exercises you can do yourself.

mabl's ethos is rooted in the fact that

testing plays an essential, vital role in

software development, and particularly in a

quality centered, DevOps driven agile culture.

We call it DevTestOps.

I'll show you how mabl empowers teams to

develop and maintain their automated front end tests more efficiently,

while eliminating the infrastructure and framework headaches

that tend to plague traditional approaches.

Only mabl offers script-less, cross-browser testing,

auto-healing tests,

visual testing and diagnostics and monitoring in

one simple service so teams work more efficiently.

It can free up time for exploratory testing, increasing test coverage

or any number of activities.

mabl is a UI testing tool for web applications.

It's not for testing desktop applications.

mabl currently only tests on desktop web browsers.

We cannot, at least yet, test native mobile apps

or within native mobile browsers.

We can, however, pass a mobile user agent string

and test at any break point that you like.

If your site has bot detection,

you'll need to let it know we're coming.

If your application under test isn't publicly available,

we offer static IPs that you can whitelist

and make our traffic very identifiable

in a number of ways.

We also offer the ability to establish a secure

and smart tunnel between our infrastructure and your environment.

mabl can't solve captchas, so if you have those,

you'll need to make sure some kind of bypass

mechanism is in place.

And if any of these issues are difficult to

mitigate quickly, that's okay.

We have a sandbox application

that you can get started with.

In fact, we're gonna be using it in the next video.

Welcome to mablU, let's get started.
