MABL Test Automation Boot Camp

Day 1: Introduction and Setup

In Day 1, you'll learn how to set up MABL and get familiar with its dashboard, functionality, and scaling capabilities. After setting up MABL, you'll learn the basics, including how to navigate in the dashboard and how to create and execute a test.

Part 1: Getting Started

First things first, you'll be setting up your MABL account. As a starting point, MABL provides a free trial for 14 days, which you may want to take advantage of for this training. In this first part of the training, we'll cover the below topics:

• Setting up your MABL account
• Plans and licenses
• Basics of software testing and automation 
  • Software development lifecycle
  • Continuous integration/continuous delivery
  • Test automation
• Users of MABL
• Navigating the menu
• Discovering the dashboard

Part 2: Creating Your First Test

This section aims at making you familiar with creating and implementing a test, and by the end, you'll have written a simple test and seen the results.

• Create your first test
• Organize test inputs and steps
• Trigger the tests
• Test outputs and analysis
• Exercise 1: Create a test for a given scenario and observe the results

Part 3: Advancing Your Tests

Now you are ready for more complex tests, including tests with multiple steps and reusable tests. Thanks to its low-code design, testers without coding skills can also design and implement complex tests.

• Low-code features
• Create a multi-step, reusable test
• Organize the test for web and mobile
• Define variables for testing
• Setup your workspace for reports
• Exercise 2: Create a five-step test with variables, triggers, and reports

Day 2: Advanced Features and Use Cases

In the second day of our training, we'll look into the advanced features of MABL and its scaling capabilities. We'll also learn how to perform API testing, and understand the differences for testing in mobile. We'll conclude the day with some common use cases and build an example application.

Part 4: Scaling Capabilities

The power of MABL comes from its ability to scale, by building cross-browser, end-to-end or API tests and accessibility testing features.

In this part, we'll cover:

• Accessibility testing
• Cross-browser testing
• End-to-end testing
• API testing
• Mobile testing
• Exercise 3: An API testing example in two different browsers
• Exercise 4: Testing an application in mobile and web browsers

Part 5: Integrations of MABL

In this part, we'll go over the integrations supported by MABL, and how to benefit from these integrations. We'll check out some integrations of popular services, and how they can be used to improve your testing performance.

• Integration with repository services (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
• Integration with team communication services (Slack, MS Teams)
• Integration with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Circle CI, Bamboo)
• Other integrations such as Jira, Postman, and Segment
• Exercise 5: Integration of MABL with two other services

Part 6: Use Cases and Example Application

In this section, we'll check out successful examples of MABL and explore possible use cases. We'll also build an example application as a wrap-up for the previous parts.

• Salesforce test automation 
  • Low code test creation
  • Auto-healing function
  • Unified platform supporting UI and API testing
• Automated regression testing 
  • Fine-grained control
  • Running parallel tests
  • Reusable scripts from legacy tests
  • Integration with deployment tools
• Increased coverage of testing 
  • Easy to implement with low-code test design
  • Cross-browser scalability for different environments
  • Seamless integration with existing tools and platforms
• Exercise 6: Planning and implementation of a complex scenario

Part 7: Comparison with Other Tools

What makes MABL different from other tools on the market? In this section, we'll check out some alternatives to MABL, and we'll go over how they compare with MABL in terms of features, usability, customer support, and plans.

• Selenium and MABL
• UserTesting and MABL
• Cypress and MABL
• Testim.io and MABL
