Automation Cookbook is the industry's first resource to
compile short how-to videos focused on teaching engineers how to
complete necessary day-to-day tasks for test automation
SAN MATEO, Calif., April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Applitools,
provider of a next generation test automation through Visual AI and
Ultrafast Test Cloud, today announced the launch of its
"Automation Cookbook," featuring free bite-sized videos aimed to
upskill developers and test engineers of all experience levels.
Anyone looking for quick answers to their test automation questions
can use recipes to solve everyday challenges and also practice in
the Test Kitchen for free. The initiative is led by Angie Jones, Senior Director of Developer
Relations at Applitools and Test Automation University, with
contributions from Colby Fayock,
Developer Advocate at Applitools.

The Automation Cookbook is the latest test automation resource
Applitools is releasing to increase its supply of free and
accessible learning resources online for the dev community. It is
supplementary to Test Automation University, which has surpassed
more than 80,000 students to date and is the flagship resource for
engineers to learn new tools and programming languages across
various topics in automation.
Since Test Automation University launched in 2019, Applitools
has received requests for additional resources to help people
quickly find answers to frequent day-to-day questions. Now, with
the Automation Cookbook, there is a place to serve bite-sized
content in one place without needing to sift through an endless web
of long video tutorials, online forums, and Q&A threads just to
end up with broken code examples.
"Based on feedback from the community, our goal with the
Automation Cookbook is to help engineers get answers to frequently
asked questions with a visual coding recipe," said Fayock.
The launch of the Automation Cookbook includes 12 videos
featuring two of the most prominent test automation frameworks for
functional testing of web apps, Selenium WebDriver and Cypress.
Each framework has six total videos to start. New videos will be
added regularly with additional frameworks planned to be featured
in the future. The videos range anywhere from 3-10 minutes in
length.
Initially, recipes for both Selenium WebDriver in Java as well
as Cypress in JavaScript are available:
- Uploading Files
- Interacting with Alerts
- Selecting from Dropdowns
- Verifying Sortable Tables
- Interacting with Browser Notifications
- Taking Screenshots
Unlike Test Automation University, which focuses on long-form
education of complete learning pathways, the Automation Cookbook
focuses only on specific tasks. To help engineers practice,
Applitools created an open source website, Test Kitchen, with
common web widgets to allow anyone to hone their test automation
skills and knowledge.

automated testing, visit the Test Kitchen:

"For many engineers, it's common to run into a problem while
writing a test. Whether you're trying to work with alerts or upload
a file, you may not be looking for an entire end-to-end course, but
a quick solution to a single problem," said Jones. "We have
designed this short-form education program to answer your questions
accordingly."
