Ensuring accessibility (A11y) compliance has become a fundamental requirement in software quality assurance. This talk demonstrates how to bridge the gap between manual and automated A11y testing — integrating axe-core audits into existing Selenium-based frameworks and CI pipelines using only open-source tools.

Accessibility (A11y) audits have become a fundamental requirement in software quality assurance. This talk demonstrates how to integrate automated A11y checks into existing Selenium-based test frameworks using the axe-core library from Deque — including CI pipeline integration, timing considerations (AfterStep), report generation, and common pitfalls like false positives with SVG elements.

A11y Audits gehören seit Jahren zu den wichtigen Disziplinen der Softwarequalitätssicherung. In einem Showcase wird präsentiert, wie axe-core Audits in ein bestehendes Selenium/Cucumber-Framework integriert werden können — inklusive Konfiguration der axe-core API, Timing der Checks (AfterStep), Integration in die CI-Pipeline, Aufbereitung der Ergebnisse und häufige Fallstricke wie False Positives bei SVG-Elementen.

A hands-on tutorial for testers and developers getting started with test automation using Selenium and Cucumber. Covers framework setup with open-source tools, identifying WebElements (id, CSS, XPath), the PageObject Pattern, and IDE-driven test development. Similar content to the ATD 2022 Masterclass.

How gamification principles can make a physical or virtual Scrumboard more engaging and more efficient. Covers the definition of gamification (motivation increase and behaviour change through game-typical elements like points, goals and comparisons) and practical improvements teams can apply quickly to their Scrumboards.

Die Kombination von Selenium und Cucumber liefert ein kostengünstiges Framework für Testautomatisierung in kommerziellen Projekten. Anhand eines konkreten Beispiels wird gezeigt wie ein Selenium-Framework aufgebaut wird — von der Architektur über das PageObject Pattern bis zur erfolgreichen Umsetzung. Mit Erfahrungsberichten aus der Praxis und Lessons Learned.

A fully automated test setup for a smartphone NFC payment solution — built with a Lego Mindstorm EV3 robot on a Raspberry Pi (BrickPi). The robot physically moves an NFC card to and from the mobile device, requiring zero manual interaction. Test management with SquashTM. A live demo showing how hardware robotics can solve real mobile testing challenges.
