This was a full length talk presented by Amit Deshpande in vodQA-10 : Going Beyond the Usual held in ThoughtWorks, Pune on 13th October

1. Relating UI Automation
With UI Performance
Amit Deshpande

2. The current scenario
 Automation & Performance Testing – Two silos
 Coordination between two streams doesn’t exist
 UI Automation giving no clue on performance
 Importance of UI Performance analysis

3. UI Performance
Request Start Time Business Event Time
Time-to-First-Byte
DNS/Network Time
OnLoad Time Latency
Rendering Time
JS Execution Time
Resource Download Time

4. How to relate/derive integration?

5. Relation
 The existing UI automation can be integrated with UI
performance analysis tool – Dynatrace Ajax
 The integration is easy to achieve with wider set of UI
automation tools like – Selenium , QTP , TestComplete
 Dynatrace Ajax comes as plugin to the browsers and hence it
can be utilized in the manual testing as well.
 With Selenium WebDriver it can be added as capability in
browser driver (Firefox, IE)
 With any other tool , all you need to do is add plugin to the
browser , start it & run automation tests in the same browser.

6. Integration Demo

7. Reports & Details

11. What We get from Integration ?
 Value Addition for existing UI Automation
 UI Performance Analysis
 Comparison with respect to UI best practices & Industry
benchmarks like Retail, Finance etc.
 The comparison of the reports on build to build, release to
release is possible
 Compare Performance Behavior between IE & FF

12. The Next Big Thing

13. Integrated Environment
CI
Test
Reports
Automation
Performance
Testing

14. The Entire Process
 The results of this integration are multifold when integrated
with CI environment.
 Greatly helps for agile projects where NFR requirements can
be met more effectively and tracked from sprint to sprint.
 Brings Performance earlier in the whole cycle - Ultimately
reducing time in detection of bugs, defect lifecycle
