QA-meetup SuperJob

On June 28, they held a QA-meetup SuperJob, telling what was there.

Alexey Zakharov, President of Superjob, opened the mitap.


The first speaker was “Effective automation of Superjob testing” by Anton Shkredov , testing automation specialist at SuperJob.ru .

Anton shared his experience in raising automation from scratch on the example of the Superjob project.

“Faced with a situation where acceptance testing takes 10 hours and the company's goal is daily releases, it comes to the understanding that the testing department needs to comply with and change established approaches. To get rid of daily repetitive activities, an obvious cure is automating this process. We decided not to turn automation into another problem. Using the example of our web project, we will describe how tests made them fast and stable and what universal methods were used for this. ”

Vitaliy Kotov, Lead QA engineer in Badoo, made a presentation on “How to prepare test automation for two releases per day” .

Vitaly told a story about how they went from two releases a week to two releases a day, what problems they solved and what they got in the end.

What he shared in his report:

- The more often releases, the more organized the automated testing process should be;

- Auto tests should be accelerated: the faster the tests, the sooner we get the result of the test;

- Auto tests should be clear: the easier it is to work with tests, the more often they will want to run them;

- Autotest should be enough. The more tests, the easier it should be to control them.
