I am a developer…a software engineer…a coder, whatever you want to call it. If you’re not, don’t fret…I think the basic ideology of this article can be applied to any profession. Confidence is key. A little confidence can transform a professional world of doubt/fear into a thoroughly enjoyable career. Once you reach the tipping point where confidence outweighs doubt, it transforms your experience. In conjunction, when confidence is lacking, frustration and fear linger. It’s hard to enjoy your profession if… [continue]
Scrum Happens!
This is a special week at E-g. We have the privilege of hosting some valued clients in Scrum Master and Scrum Product Owner certification training. We brought in Daniel Gullo of Apple Brook Consulting because a few of our folks had training with Daniel in the past. He does an excellent job. You could say we value Scrum here at E-g. To date, we have around two dozen Scrum certifications among E-g consultants. Beyond the “piece of paper” of the… [continue]
Furniture With A Purpose
We’re very excited about some new tables for our annex. And not just the tables – which are, without a doubt beautiful and functional – but also about the great conversations, meals, and work that will take place around them in the years to come. It was so good to get to talk with David, Andrew, Justin, and Margaret from Purposeful Design. We love their mission – what an amazing vision, working itself out rather well in the lives of… [continue]
Family, Sixteen Years and Annexes
It was a big day at E-g! We enjoyed a big lunch (G.T. South’s!) and ice cream with our families as we celebrated our latest office expansion (we unceremoniously call it “The Annex”), a new sign on the building – oh, and 16 years of quality software solutions! It’s right for us to make much of our families, and it’s right for us to mark milestones of blessing like this. We want to make sure to express value for the truly… [continue]
Pi Approximation Day 2016
How do you properly honor Pi Approximation Day (July 22nd – or 22/7)? You have a pie bake-off. Well, at least that’s what we do around here. There were 17 home-grown entries, and 37 very happy (and very full) voters. The competition was fierce. Some of us needed several servings to make sure we were tasting what we thought we were tasting. By the end of the tasting – uh testing – time, it was clear: only a few points… [continue]
EG Hikes – McCormick’s Creek
Undeterred by the unseasonably cool weather, a handful of E-gineers and some of their families enjoyed exploring the beauty of Indiana’s McCormick’s Creek State Park. Temperatures in the low 40s required bundling up a bit more than expected for mid-May, but we all had a great time hiking trail number five at the park. It helped that the rain held off while we were out there. The braver among us even dared to crawl through Wolf Cave (no wolves, lots… [continue]
Simplify Selenium Selectors
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. – John Wooden Writing strong automated tests comes down to preparation. (I never thought I would be drawing connections between sports and automated tests, yet here I am.) Putting in the hard work up front pays off immensely on the back end. With a solid Page Model architecture in place, writing the actual testing scripts becomes much easier. Getting to that point can be difficult but Gregg Reed’s current sequence of posts for… [continue]
Selenium Java: An Intelligent Example Part 3
In our previous post, Selenium Java: An Intelligent Example Part 2, we dug into the code. We demonstrated how everything is tied together. We outlined the BasePage, WebDriverResource, and BrowserFactory classes. In this post we will be digging into the concrete page objects themselves as well as writing a sample test that uses multiple page objects. Concrete Page Class Each concrete page class extends BasePage. Doing so provides them with everything they need to be a page object. Each web… [continue]
