Continuous Integration for WordPress: Testing and Deployment
While continuous integration is a common practice for most software development teams, the stateful nature of WordPress makes it more challenging to set up. For our open source WordPress plugin, we wanted to integrate our standard build and test process for every pull request using CircleCI. CircleCI is a cloud-based CI/CD platform that streamlines the development […]
Regex Essentials: Validating HTML id Attributes
When we initially started building our test recorder, we needed a way to validate the id attributes being used on the page. We would sometimes capture an id attribute in a recording, only to find that it failed when we used it in a test, because it didn’t meet specification. For instance, sometimes websites would use […]
