Test #23 CRUD without Database Reset

In #22, creating CRUD tests seems quite easy, thanks to WhenWise Sandbox’s database reset utility. For 99.99+% web apps, there is no such utility. This exercise shows conventional CRUD testing.

As RUD is essentially the same in this regard (on test independence), we will just do one Update test case.

Test Design

• Create a brand new Professional (remember its name)

• Edit this professional

• Change its first name

• Toggle the enabled checkbox

• Change its color in a dropdown list

• Click Save to update

• Verify the new Professional in the list

Knowledge Point: Test Independence

In the previous exercise, I touched briefly on Test Independency.
