Selenium : Data driven framework

 What is a Framework ?

A test automation framework is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing. The main advantage of such a framework is the low cost for maintenance.

A set of guidelines like coding standards , Directory structure, test-data handling and template , drivers and objects repository (Code Library), Log files ans log file structure, Error messages ,  reports and alerts  etc...  These are just guidelines and not rules; they are not mandatory and you can still script without following the guidelines.

What are the various Automation Frameworks available?

1) Linear Scripting
2)The Test Library Architecture Framework.
3)The Data-Driven Testing Framework.
4)The Keyword-Driven or Table-Driven Testing Framework.
5)The Hybrid Test Automation Framework.

 

Data-Driven Testing Framework:
Data- Driven testing is a framework where test input and output values are read from data files (datapools, ODBC sources, cvs files, Excel files, DAO objects, ADO objects, and such) and are loaded into variables in captured or manually coded scripts. In this framework, variables are used for both input values and output verification values. Navigation through the program, reading of the data files, and logging of test status and information are all coded in the test script.

Selenium: File download handling.

Image
 When we download any file from internet, browser opens new pop-up windows and prompt user for action. Action could be open, save or save as.  Pop-up windows ( GUI ) could be different based on browser. When you are automating file download dialog box (or action), you should keep following points in mind. -           Browser -           Pop-up windows  title -           Pop-up GUI -           Available buttons on GUI -           File Type (Binary file, zip file, MS file etc..) -           Extra settings See how IE and FF pop-ups ... If you have any doubt or if it is not working , please provide me details and I will try to fix the problem. Func Down_FF_NonMS() Send("{TAB}{TAB}...

Major Differences between Python and Java

Image
Python and Java are both popular programming languages that have been around for many years. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between them. Syntax: One of the most obvious differences between Python and Java is their syntax. Python is known for its simple, readable syntax, which is designed to be easy to learn and use. Java, on the other hand, has a more complex syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks. Performance: Java is generally faster than Python when it comes to execution speed. This is because Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can be executed directly by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Python, on the other hand, is an interpreted language, which means that each line of code is executed one at a time by the Python interpreter. Memory Management: Java manages memory through a process called Garbage Collection. This process automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use, which helps to prevent memory leaks ...

Cypress V/S Selenium

  Cypress V/S Selenium During my learning of Cypress, I noted down a few important differences between these tools. Documentation: Cypress Selenium Feature Cypress Selenium Language Support JavaScript Multiple languages including Java, C#, etc. Test Architecture Mocha test runner and Chai assertion library built-in Requires separate test frameworks and assertion libraries Browser Support Chrome, Firefox, Electron Multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc. Test Structure Built-in test runner and assertion library Needs separate test runners and assertion libraries Test Execution Faster execution Slower execution due to the use of WebDriver DOM Manipulation Native commands for DOM manipulation Needs to use JavaScriptExecutor for DOM manipulation Locators Cypress uses jQuery-like syntax for selecting elements Selenium uses various locating strategies such as XPath, CSS Selector, etc. Automatic Waits Automatically waits for commands to complete before moving...
