OTHER EXPERIENCE
Adding features to FANG
One of the first things I did for FANG was edit the program so that you can excluded certain web browsers from performing tests. The reason for this is that FANG runs tests in three different browsers: IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome. My development environment is on windows 10, and IE 8 is not available on that. So, I added some command line options to exclude certain web browsers. Now, any user can just add a -i for IE, -c for Chrome, or -f for firefox. So if they don’t have a supported browser on their system, those tests won’t try to run.
