Documenting test architecture: Part 3 – There’s even a better way to draw your framework
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve recently discussed documenting test architecture and creating a system landscape diagram for the continuous testing process using the Structurizr tool. If you remember, we started with just 2 boring blocks on the initial chart (a QA engineer and the app under test), But in the end, it grew into a…
Documenting test architecture: Part 2 – There is a Right Way!
Alright, ladies and gentlemen! In the previous blog post, I described my recent challenge: the absence of a common approach in documenting test architecture and the potential solution to this challenge. Today, let’s take some practical steps and try to solve at least a part of the challenge using the C4 model + Structurizr bundle….
Documenting test architecture: Part 1 – Is there a right way?
Recently, I had an opportunity to visualize the continuous testing process and explain it in simple terms (possibly, without using too many words). It was challenging, first of all, because I was uncertain who would eventually see my drawing, and whether they would have enough context to comprehend it clearly. I somehow managed to accomplish…
Proof of Concepts 101: how to assess your test frameworks easily
Among the various activities that test engineers perform, making proof of concepts (PoC) is essential. We create PoCs when there’s uncertainty about which process to follow, what tool or framework to use, or even when it’s an excellent time to try something new. Although it may appear spontaneous and ad hoc, creating a PoC is…
