Taza

Taza is an opinionated browser-based test framework.

RESOURCES

• Here’s a brief(~8min) screencast which is now out-of-date
• #taza on FreeNode

FEATURES

• Generate a project for browser-based testing
• Generate pages and sites for different applications
• Create flows that move through a site
• Use filters to control which elements are accessible on a page depending on its state
• Taza automatically creates and cleans up the browser for each site just like a File block
• Manage tests by tags
• Cross-site testing

ISSUES

• Taza has only been used in the wild with WATIR, but Selenium support is built-in
• Taza’s generators currently generate RSpec specs, Test::Unit and other test framework support is planned

SYNOPSIS

Taza is meant to be a refreshing way to look at browser testing. Taza provides a few ways to abstract browser-based
testing into three simple ideas.

• Sites
• Pages
• Flows

Sites have Pages.
Pages have Elements and Filters.
Flows are common actions on a site such as logging in or performing a search.

EXAMPLE

Here’s an example for starting a project around the Google sites

$ taza google
$ cd google/
$ ./script/generate site google
$ ./script/generate page home_page google
$ ./script/generate flow search google
$ rake spec:isolation:google

That will generate an RSpec HTML report at artifacts/functional/google/index.html

The example above works for Macs. If you’re a Windows user, however…

c:\taza google
c:\cd google
c:\google>script\generate site google
c:\google>script\generate page home_page google
c:\google>script\generate flow search google
c:\google>rake spec:isolation:google
