Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q:What is the difference between a cached run and an extraction?
A:An extraction is the initial analysis and generation of the test script, which is then cached after the first successful run. Provided that your HTML has some semantic meaning, extractions will only be necessary when you change your UI. -
Q:Won't this slow down our test suite?
A:Carbonate's SDK caches the generated test script directly into your test suite, meaning that on subsequent runs, it will run as fast as hand-written tests. -
Q:How can I ensure tests are reliable?
A:Test scripts can be committed to your repository alongside your code. If your HTML structure changes significantly, you can delete the test scripts, and Carbonate will automatically generate new ones. -
Q:What if my page is dynamically rendered?
A:During the initial extraction, the SDK uses a combination of DOM mutation observers and spying on your network requests to determine when a page has finished loading. On subsequent cached runs, the SDK only needs to wait until the appropriate elements are available. -
Q:What if I need to do something advanced?
A:In these cases, you can interface with the browser directly between steps. We've made sure to design our SDK to fit around your existing setup, so you retain as much control as necessary.
