True QA Testing

[gzhong]

Hello,

We'd like to do QA testing with the following steps.
* Access the QA site, which will take you to a Janus login. It is not on the same host as the application.
* After typing in username/password you're not back to the QA site.

I think Siesta doesn't allow you to test against, or create recordings on, a site that isn't also where the Siesta harness is. If that's true, we would have to deploy the siesta harness along with our application to QA.

But even if we did that, it would still not work because the first step is redirecting to a firm-wide janus website that we have zero control over.

Is this all correct? Is there a way to run Siesta site and do recordings on a web app not where the siesta is running?

Thanks,
G

Hi,

You are right, Siesta as being the pure-web tool, is subject to same-origin security restrictions. However, it is possible to disable those restrictions, at least in Chrome. Please refer to this blog post: https://www.bryntum.com/blog/testing-x- ... in-chrome/
