Image Based Test Automation and Intelligent Masking based algorithm by Saurabh Mitra

Speaker: Saurabh Mitra, Senior Test Engineering Manager, Oracle

Description:
Most web applications not only serve the functional aspect but as well ensure that they have rich UX interface comprising of themes, images and stylesheets.
The functional aspect can be checked easily with functional automation however it is also required to ensure that the alignment, colors, look and feel are as well accurate and as expected.
The problem become multi-fold when the same vanilla web application is customized heavily for different enterprise customers.
Manually testing these are time consuming and not accurate. Direct screenshot comparison will as well fail drastically as each time there are some sections of the web page which are bound to change and need to be ignored intelligently prior to comparison.
Here we are going to see how we can incorporate all of these in an intelligent image comparison based test automation framework which works on top of Selenium.
