With the exponential increase of smart devices, businesses are bound to make their websites more responsive for the best user experience on all devices that can lead to increased sale and conversion. Moreover responsiveness is a major factor in Google's search ranking system. This inherently implies that the tester has to validate the application on different device dimension which is tiresome and error-prone if done manually. Here Galen Framework, an open source automated layout testing technique built on top of selenium, comes to the rescue of the testers.

In this workshop, we will learn how Galen empowers the QA, how to write layout tests using Galen Specs, use Galen Java API and ultimately run them on a CI server by integrating the Galen tests with selenium tests.

We will also learn few best practices such as - sharing a common locator repository between Galen and Selenium tests for better maintenance and writing Galen tests in plain english so that UX Designers, Business Analysts & Developers too can contribute to the tests.
