2021-06-11: Interesting dev webinar on how DHIS2 is using cucumber + cypress

[grace (Grace Potma)]

Hey @k.joseph @jayasanka @hadijah315 @suruchi @kdaud @jwnasambu @sharif @jwnasambu,

The DHIS2 community is having a dev meetup this Friday on how they use cypress/cucumber in DHIS2. I thought some of you might be interested in attending to see how different their approach is to ours, and whether our OMRS community might be able to learn something from their approach.

Join us this Friday for our next developer meetup at 1:30pm CEST (Testing...

Hi everyone! Join us this Friday June 11 @ 13:30 CEST for our next developer meetup! Topic : We’ll be giving an overview on how to use cypress/cucumber and our DHIS2 utilities and commands to test your applications!

thank you for this …

[jwnasambu (Juliet Wamalwa)]

Just incase you are unable to attend these are the guides we are following https://cli-utils-cypress.dhis2.nu/#/getting-started and Gherkin Reference - Cucumber Documentation. though its practical.

[kdaud (Kakumirizi Daud)]

So Rich!
Once again thanks @grace for looking out for this. When you land on another of its kind which I know soon you will, with humility add my name on the list.

[jwnasambu (Juliet Wamalwa)]

Do you have the conference registration link?

[grace (Grace Potma)]

Hi All, So what did folks learn from this webinar? Anything very different about how DHIS2 is using cucumber + cypress? Anything similar? Anything you think we can learn from them / do differently?

@jwnasambu

Do you have the conference registration link?

Juliet are you looking for this? Annual Conference - DHIS2

[jwnasambu (Juliet Wamalwa)]

Yes @grace! its sad looking on the program they don’t have a presentation on QA. Anyway, I enjoyed there practical session.

@grace

So what did folks learn from this webinar

Personally I strongly I agree with the title you embedded to the post, it was an interesting live session on Test Automation. I mentioned out learning areas in respect to our community

@kdaud

Thanks @grace looking out for sessions like this which introduced me to Cypress tool. The session was very interesting encountering other QA Engineers elsewhere learning their technical skills and this triggered my interest in learning about Cypress in contrast to Selenium in which both tools inherit feature files. Though currently reading about the tool but soon will extend my technical support to OCL and MF modules in respect to automation.

@grace

Anything very different about how DHIS2 is using cucumber + cypress?

The session did not cover DHIS2 integration with cucmber+cypress, however it was an intro to how cypress can be integrated in Test Automation. Deborah the session coordinator mentioned of the forth coming conference which I guess may include the referred caption of DHIS2.

@grace

Anything you think we can learn from them / do differently?

Having live (practical) sessions within our Squad calls could be a good idea as it may help those new squad members to get them started with the technical work, and also learning from each other as technical squad members. Have seen @mksd with other colleagues having this approach in MF-Squad where they do Live Sessions and silently has increased their technical team. Though it may not be applicable on weekly basis in squad calls due to arrays of activities to handle within the (60min=1hr) call , but at least once in a month .@k.joseph @christine it may be a good idea to starting thinking in this direction as QA Squad as well.
