• personas

  listeningTo: some NFL show my husband is intently watching that I don’t care about… inRealLife: I’ve been playing Destiny 2 on Xbox for a few months now, I’m not super good at it, but it is reeeeally fun. It’s also really stressful. Anyway, I need a break, so let’s talk about some personas, hm? whatIReadThisWeek: I finished Dark Age! And it was fantastic. I powered through the entire final part last night and couldn’t stop. I’m undecided on what comes next, though I have been carrying around a (sort of) self-help how-to-be-more-productive book with me to the beach all summer and have yet to crack the spine, so, it may be time. (I can see it now: “how to be more productive? actually open this book…”) Though I did not read it this week – at this point it’s been a few weeks back, actually – I do want to explore more about personas, which spun from a MoT Power Hour with Cassandra Leung. whatILearnedThisWeek: I had a lot of takeaways from the Power Hour. I’ve wanted to delve into personas for a long time now, but I never had the time to devote to it or the support of the rest of the team to find that time. I think my site lends itself very naturally to identifying personas – we have different member types relating to the profession of the member, we have different levels of service relating to the size (and value) of the publishing house.

• Method Chaining in test automation. My Dilemma.

  This article is a way for me to sort my thoughts on method chaining, its pros and cons. Why I liked it, and lately I am more and more negative toward it. Why this subject? So as you may remember from my previous article, I was using in that project method chaining. However, lately, I see it using more and more in a way that is more harmful than useful. That is why I want to discuss Method Chaining. Note I this article I am again giving the cases from UI testing world. Because this is the place, I have seen it overused most — still a lot of the advantages and issues I’ve described here applies to any code. First, what is Method Chaining: Method chaining is a way of creating a method so they return an object in a way that you can then perform next action on it without “Breaking the chain.” So let’s say we want to perform a search for a product that cost between 10 and 50 euro, belongs to category games and has metal in name normally you would do something like it. SearchPage searchPage = new SearchPage(this.Driver); searchPage.SetMinimalPrice(10.0); searchPage.SetMaximumPrice(50.0); searchPage.SetCategory("games"); searchPage.SetName("Metal"); SearchResultsPage searchResultPage = searchPage.ClickSearchButton(); With method chaining, it looks like this. SearchResultsPage searchResultPage = new SearchPage(this.Driver) .SetMinimalPrice(10.0) .SetMaximumPrice(50.0) .SetCategory("games") .SetName("Metal") .ClickSearchButton(); There are a few reasons you may want to do it. One readability this is the main benefit of method chaining – it makes code a more readable. As you[…]
