AUTOMATIC TESTING OF WEB APPLICATIONS WITH THE SUPPORT OF GEB WEB DRIVER

Every day people encounter mistakes and bugs in software while they use it. Some of these bugs can be trivial, but some may be critical for some software functions. Since mistakes are inevitable, software testing requires a large amount of money, time and work. But despite efforts and investment, it is impossible to find all mistakes before software enters the market and production. Automatic testing can be very useful during that process. This paper presents methodology of automatic testing and its specific steps during testing of web applications, which is based on several chosen tools: Groovy programming language, Geb web driver and Spock test framework. The results have shown that this specific combination of tools presents an adequate and complete solution for automatic testing of web applications.
