What was my experience after entering this competition? Well for me entering this competition was to really get the experience of doing automation. This competition was more that just a competition for me, I have learnt a lot just by doing the task assignments.<\/p>\n

About the task<\/u><\/b><\/h2>\n

For this project, I was tasked to automate a shopping website with the Applitools modern testing tool “Applitools Eyes” and using the traditional way of doing automation. This activity was created to make a comparison between doing automation the traditional way and using the applitools eyes. With reference to a snippet from their website “with\u00a0<\/i>Applitools Eyes, businesses can ship visually perfect applications on nearly any browser or device by replicating the \u2018human eye\u2019 and automatically spotting visual bugs and defects”<\/i>. To read up more on there products visit\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/applitools.com\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

My experience\u00a0<\/u><\/h2>\n

My experience with using the Applitools eyes was made pretty easy, there was very little coding that was needed to complete the task. In addition to that, a visual report of the changes made to the project was made available to me within the application, this highlights the changes that were made to the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My main objectives of this competition was really to get a real life experience of doing automation, as well as, the chance to learn a tool that I could be potentially useful within my daily work. Luckily after completing this competition I was granted a silver position within the competition year 2020 of which I am proud of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would definitely recommend this competition to any individual who is looking to gain a knowledge of doing automation testing. I trust that it would help you as it did to me.<\/p>\n
