Automate Functional Tests of Your Connect Implementation

Here on the Facebook Platform Engineering team we strive to keep Connect fast and stable and to help our developers ensure their implementations are working, bug free.  

A while back we began working on a suite of Automated tests for some of our top partners that would confirm Connect was always functioning.  Then we decided it'd be great if we could create a library that would help any connect developer easily create automated tests of their own site.

We've written a library on top of Watir (http://wtr.rubyforge.org/), that helps you deal with all the generic issues needed to stress test a Connect site's implementation.  In this post we'll be demonstrating how to use our new library to create automated tests for StreamDiff (http://www.streamdiff.com/) a cool Connect site built by a coworker of mine:  Naitik Shah.

First, we'll need to install Watir, which is described here: http://wtr.rubyforge.org/install.html .  Be sure to get the plugin for Firef

      if not result or (result.respond_to? :exists? and not result.exists?)
        raise Exception.new
      end
