Get help with testing, discuss unit testing strategies etc.

Dear all,

We use Siesta to test our Extjs 6.2 client. Our current setup is based on end-to-end testing, our server is running during our test and all the CRUD operations made by the components tested are made on the server. As one might think, eventually this becomes to performance heavy, as in running all the tests take too long.

We want to shift to a setup were we simulate all our server responses. We are thinking about using the SimManager Extjs provides. But before we start this heavy impact migration I would like to run the idea through this forum hoping somebody has experience with this kind of challenge or setup and would like to share them or provide tips our tricks and/or even suggest alternatives.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Its possible to use SimManager, right, however, problem with simulated responses - is keeping them in-sync with latest changes in response format. Need to understand how are you going to update the simulation data, to reflect latest changes. If format changes are rare, perhaps this is an option.

I think, your current approach with real CRUD is the most reliable, perhaps there are other options to speed it up?
