🔍 Detection rules are only as good as the tests behind them. 💡📊

Ariel Ropek's #BSidesBoulder25 talk "Incorporating End to End Integration Tests into your Detection Engineering Workflow" will provide a practical guide to moving beyond brittle unit tests and validating detections with full attack simulations. If you're building detection-as-code or maintaining a SIEM, this talk is your blueprint for making sure your alerts fire when it really matters! #BSides #BSidesBoulder #CyberSecurity #DetectionEngineering #E2ETesting #CyberDefense

Tickets are available for purchase for our 13 June event here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bsides-boulder-2025-registration-1290129274389

We often see QA as just test plans and troubleshooting, but what if it could be fun?

Our latest blog shows how great QA is more than duty, it's a celebration of collaboration and responsibility.

The Only Two Tests That Matter

Most tests are meaningless noise. If you want to do it right, only two types matter:

1️⃣ Component Tests – Test behavior, not mocks. Fake external services, ensure input/output works, and confidently. With that it’s easy to generate API docs & client libs without experience pact tests.

2️⃣ E2E Tests – Run 24/7, track real user behavior, log metrics, measure uptime, bugs, performance, and resilience. No need for e2e tests in CI pipelines if testing every environment.

Both test behavior, not code. You can refactor without touching tests as they only break when behavior breaks. If tests are slow, your implementation is the problem. Even a Raspberry Pi can handle it.

And above all: Tests must run locally. No excuses. It’s important for debugging and reproduction of user behaviors.

I just released `playwright-opentelemetry-reporter`, a custom reporter for Playwright that generates @opentelemetry spans from test cases and steps! If you want to bring some 🔭 observability to your 🎭 Playwright, try it out! https://github.com/aergonaut/playwright-opentelemetry-reporter

If you're looking for an example in the wild of testing copy/paste functionality in an end to end test using Playwright, I gotchu in this latest pull request for the OpenSauced app. #opensource #e2etesting #testing

I used #Nightwatch a while ago, and I really liked it. Not sure how popular and widespread it is nowadays, but I haven't heard to often from it lately. I liked that is based on the #WebDriver specification, since it makes me at least less dependant on some proprietary providers.

#E2ETesting

#Cypress seems to be very popular, especially in the #JavaScript community. It reads really promising, especially that it fixes some of the issues #Selenium had. My biggest worries about it is its limited browser support... If I really want to do proper #E2ETesting I do not want to limit it to Chrome and Firefox only...

#Selenium has been there for ages, and while I have not looked at it for a while, I am kind of worried that it is outdated, simply because of its age. I did not enjoy working with it in the past, and cannot tell if it has improved. I e.g. remember that opening the DevTools in browsers made it crash immediately.

#E2ETesting

🔎 I am currently searching for an #E2ETesting library. The most important thing for me to test, which I probably cannot test in a different way, is native browser notifications after receiving a push notification from a #JavaScript #ServiceWorker.

Solutions I know of include #Selenium, #WebDriverIO, #Playwright, #NightWatch and #Cypress.

❓ Do you have any other ideas or opinions on those testing libraries?

Going to add a few thoughts for some of them in separate toots.

Manchmal sitze ich einfach da, gebe `npx playwright test` ein und entspanne. #e2etesting #playwright

👨‍💻 I'm building an app with as little #JavaScript as possible (only sending and receiving push notifications). I don't use any framework, and everything else is handled by the server.

❓ Now I'm wondering how to handle #testing. Does it make sense to do #UnitTesting for a few lines of JavaScript? How do you handle that? Do you only do #E2ETesting in such cases?

💭 I was already thinking about using #JSDom in #Jest, but the #HTML is generated by #Symfony, making it hard to get it in there…

The video from my talk Exploring better ways to write tests is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX7SbGOGn4

I gave it at this year's Nordic Testing Days 2023 in Tallinn, and I discussed my journey from feeling dissatisfied with testing tools to creating my own test runner. My goal of this talk was to inspire others to explore and customize their tools rather than settling for the default options available.

I think that "write a test for every bug" is a foolish advice.

Write #tests for business logic only. Everything else is an implementation detail.

Now that #AI can write #code I think the smart career move is to get into #softwareTesting; defining success in a problem space was always the hard part of #softwareDevelopment and will need even better tools now!

#Programming code was never the point of #software.

If needs be, but browsers are better at it so I usually let them do it.
