Gmail Testing Automation

UI testing automation of Gmail with Screenster

This video is a demonstration of UI testing automation for Gmail with Screenster. You can try Screenster for free at https://screenster.io/ or learn more about it from our website: https://screenster.io/regression-testing.

The test suite featured in this video covers the automation of the following steps:
- Signing in to Gmail,
- Entering the inbox,
- Sending a new email and processing the UI change.

The automation of these three steps will include processing user input and working with dynamic UI regions. The best part, all of these will be carried out in under 2 minutes and without writing a single line of code.

So why would you automate UI testing with a codeless tool instead of writing tests with Selenium? If you’ve ever tried doing full-fledged UI testing automation for a real-life project, you already know the answer.

Handwriting tests with Selenium (or higher-level frameworks like Jasmine) is way too tedious. What’s worse, UI tests of this sort are inherently brittle, which adds hours of time spent on maintenance. So why make programmers write high-level UI tests when you can have them write features (and unit tests)?

Effective codeless UI testing automation is exactly what Screenster offers. The functionality of Screenster stems from that of record-playback IDEs, yet the platform has a lot more to offer. Specifically, Screenster automatically verifies all on-page elements, handles locators and timeouts, streamlines the work with dynamic regions, and uses intelligent image comparison.
Screenster is based on WebDriver, and it uses an array of proprietary technologies under the hood. Using this tool doesn’t require programming skills; in fact, anyone can get comfortable with the basic functionality of the platforms in under 15 minutes.
