Agentic AI Delivery in Practice: Autonomous Enterprise Execution with the Ralph Loop

David Pitt Agentic AI & AI-Accelerated Development, Architecture, Articles, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, DevOps Leave a Comment

Agentic AI delivery is a software delivery model where autonomous agents execute development tasks inside a governed software development lifecycle (SDLC), operating within architectural guardrails, dependency-ordered backlogs, and test-gated workflows. In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we introduced agentic AI delivery as an enterprise software delivery model and explored how governed, autonomous execution can operate within a …

Selenium Automated Testing: Getting Started

Getting Started with Selenium Automation

Samuel Seidl Articles, Automation, Development Technologies & Tools, Programming, Testing Leave a Comment

Automated testing is a great way to ensure that any application can continue to grow and change while still giving fast and practical feedback to developers. This feedback can tell developers whether or not the changes introduced meet the requirements of the product and donโ€™t introduce bugs.

As discussed in a previous blog series, automated testing can be a valuable resource when trying to deliver both agile and maintainable applications. But where should you get started and what technologies should you use to build automated tests?

In this post, I will discuss how to get started with and how to build out a simple automated test in one of the most popular options: Selenium.

Automating Flutter Deployments: Configuring CircleCI

Automating Flutter Deployments: Part 3 – Configuring CircleCI

Rachel Walker Articles, Automation, CI/CD, Flutter, Mobile 1 Comment

Recently, Iโ€™ve worked on automating some internal processes for building and releasing Flutter applications. Part of this effort included utilizing Fastlane with a Continuous Integration/Delivery platform to build and deploy the app. This blog post will outline the process I followed to run the build on CircleCI after I had configured Fastlane to build and deploy the application from my local machine.

Automating Flutter Deployments: Part 2 – Screenshots

Rachel Walker Articles, Automation, Development Technologies & Tools, Flutter Leave a Comment

Recently, I worked on automating some internal processes for building and releasing Flutter applications. Part of this work has involved integrating integration test runs and screenshots as part of the release and deployment process.

I wanted to be able to use the same set of tests to validate our code on Android and iOS devices without having to write large amounts of platform-specific code or configuration. These tests needed to be able to integrate with Fastlane, so they can be utilized by CI/CD. Specifically, this restricted setup runs using command line tools with no manual steps in Xcode or Android Studio, aside project level configuration.

This blog is Part 2 of a three-part series exploring automating Flutter CI/CD on CircleCI. Part 1 covered setting up Fastlane to build and deploy applications locally, this post outlines automating screenshot capture and test runs, and part 3 discusses configuring CircleCI to automate these processes.
