Study on Technological Alternatives for the Automation of Testing in Web/front-end Ecosystems.

Abstract

During latest years, front-end development and the process of automated testing is gaining more attention. According to previous experience there is still a gap in this field, that comes as a result of lack of practice. So, this thesis conducts a further study on different technologies used in this topic, by performing some practice experiments on front-end testing alternatives. Its main objective is the evaluation of them, in order to take better decisions when choosing between these technologies. The assessment proposed in this paper is based in a qualitative and quantitative research involving different metrics. The first and foremost goal of the study is finding out the most efficient tool. Its results may serve like a guideline for future practices regarding the topic.
