Nordic Testing Days 2025

If you’ve been using Postman for a while, you know it’s very useful for calling APIs, and testing them. Its strong visualization features make it the modern tool of choice.

But using it can be time consuming and error prone. As good as a tool it is, you still have work to do in planning, execution and reporting your tests. Postman’s automation and productivity features can help you with those.

This workshop is intended for Postman users, who already know the basic features, understand APIs and are ready for speeding up their work, and increasing their testing skills. You'll learn the automation features, as well as write, automate and run a sequence of APIs.

Prerequisites for Attending:

• Laptop with postman installed
• Experience with testing APIs manually and Postman

Key Takeaways:

• Write, automate and run workflows of API requests
• Use variables, pre-requests and post-responses to chain APIs
• Understand and use Postman's automation features effectively.

Many of us have to integrate third-party APIs, and we cannot trust their documentation. We also need to track when their data format changes. The same is true for integrating our own (or other teams’) microservices.

In this talk, I will present my approach to doing this safely with TypeScript and how this enables end-to-end contract testing.

This is a very practical, hands-on talk with many concrete examples that will give the audience a clear guide on how to build robust, well documented system integrations.

We leverage NPM modules to version our API definition and create a clear source of truth for all your integrations, be it a REST API, WebSocket or CoAP messages-the same principle applies.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn about TypeBox and how I use it to make integrations of third-party APIs type-safe
• See a code-example where a frontend-application runs against a mock-API using these types
• Get to know techniques to discover breaking API changes through monitoring

Join us as we explore Appium 3.0's evolution in mobile test automation. This session will uncover how the upgrade to Node.js 20+ and Express v5 with HTTP2 enhances test execution performance, while addressing common iOS automation challenges including code signing issues. Learn about improved debugging capabilities through better Appium Inspector integration and discover how architectural refinements streamline your testing workflow. Whether you're a seasoned Appium user or just getting started, you'll gain practical insights into leveraging Appium 3.0's features and preparing for the upcoming release in 2025.
Outline:
Appium 3.0 represents a significant step forward in the evolution of mobile test automation, focusing on modernization, performance, and enhanced user experience. While maintaining the familiar architecture of Appium v2, this major release introduces crucial improvements that will shape the future of mobile testing.
In this session, we'll explore how Appium 3.0's adoption of Node.js 20+ and Express v5 with HTTP2 integration will deliver improved performance and reliability for test execution. We'll dive into architectural refinements including streamlined core functionality, enhanced security through driver-specific controls, and improved W3C compliance that removes deprecated endpoints.
Developers and QA engineers will particularly benefit from the enhanced debugging capabilities through better Appium Inspector integration, featuring seamless session attachment and improved real-time debugging workflows. The potential ESM migration showcases Appium's commitment to modern development practices and improved session management.
Whether you're managing large-scale test suites or building new test frameworks, this talk will provide valuable insights into Appium 3.0's features and how they translate to practical benefits in your testing workflow. Join us to understand the roadmap, migration strategies, and how these improvements will enhance your mobile testing experience.
Key Takeaways:

• Future-Ready Architecture: Appium 3.0's upgrade to Node.js 20+ and Express v5 with HTTP2 integration ensures better performance and stability for modern testing needs.
  
• Enhanced Developer Experience: Better debugging capabilities through improved Appium Inspector integration and session management, making test development and maintenance more efficient.
  
• Seamless Migration Path: While introducing modern improvements, Appium 3.0 maintains compatibility with v2's architecture, ensuring a smooth transition for existing test suites before the April 2025 release.
  
  
  

Modern test automation frameworks often struggle to keep pace with the rapid evolution of dynamic web applications. Frequent UI updates lead to brittle tests and broken locators when UI has strict design of dynamic web element due to Regulatory or Compliance Restrictions, creates bottleneck in agile workflows and CI/CD pipelines. Healenium, an advanced AI-driven self-healing tool, addresses this challenge by seamlessly integrating with Selenium to dynamically repair broken locators during run.

This presentation delves deep into Healenium’s architecture, which combines machine learning models and contextual analysis to detect, predict, and heal test failures caused by UI changes. We will explore its ability to maintain a centralized locator repository, track locator evolution, and apply predictive healing strategies to ensure test continuity. Real-world case studies will showcase how organizations using Healenium have achieved over 50% reduction in test maintenance efforts, minimized downtime in CI/CD pipelines, and enhanced test reliability.

Key topics include:

• The principles of self-healing test automation and how Healenium leverages locator similarity algorithms.
• Step-by-step integration of Healenium into existing Selenium frameworks with minimal disruption.
• Comparative analysis: traditional test maintenance vs. Healenium-enabled self-healing.
• Best practices for maximizing the potential of Healenium in complex, large-scale test environments.

Healenium is redefining the future of test automation by empowering teams to deliver faster, smarter, and more reliable software.

This session is designed for advanced test automation engineers, QA architects professionals seeking cutting-edge solutions to address test instability in dynamic applications by reducing the test maintenance overhead using AI and machine learning. Attendees will learn how Healenium improves test resilience, optimizes CI/CD pipelines, and enables QA teams to focus on writing new tests rather than repairing broken ones.

Key Takeaways:

• Discover the Power of Self-Healing Automation
• Reduce Test Maintenance Overhead
• Future-Proof Your Automation Suite
