First of all we need to add an HTTP Request Sampler inside a Thread group (Test Plan -> Thread Group -> Sampler->HTTP Request) Next we need to enter the Server Name or IP of the API and its port(if required) in the web server section.

If you read my blog and previous post, this post will be helpful for everyone who will work as a mobile tester. Well, if sound "ADB" confused you and you don't understand what is it, please read it: ADB is the literal meaning "Android Debug Bridge". Though at first glance it doesn’t appear to tell you anything, it actually does. It’s a “bridge” for developers to work out bugs in their Android applications. This is done by connecting a device that runs the software through a PC, and feeding it terminal commands. ADB lets you modify your device (or device’s software) via a PC command line. Let's learn commands: 1. Turn on ADB Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

Few times I was asked which code should be implemented in a test if user interface using drag&drop functionality. Please see how that works.

I think this is a best intro to Scrum

As its name implies, exploratory testing is about exploring, finding out about the software, what it does, what it doesn’t do, what works and what doesn’t work. The tester is constantly making decisions about what to test next and where to spend the (limited) time. This is an approach that is most useful when there are no or poor specifications and when time is severely limited. Exploratory testing is a hands-on approach in which testers are involved in minimum planning and maximum test execution. The planning involves the creation of a test charter, a short declaration of the scope of a short (1 to 2 hour) time-boxed test effort, the objectives and possible approaches to be used.

Subscribe the QA and Software Testing Newsletter | Post Your Testing Queries While communicating with colleagues or clients or within testing team, we commonly use vocabulary like “unit testing, “functional testing”, regression testing”,” system testing”, “test policies”, Bug Triage” etc. If we communicate the same to a person who is not a test professional we need to explain in detail each and every term. So in this case communication becomes so difficult and painful. To speak the language of testing, you need to learn its vocabulary. Find below a huge collection of testing vocabulary:

What is a RESTful API? REST (Representational State Transfer) is a simple stateless architecture that uses HTTP protocol. In a Client-Server Application most of the web services use REST API so that clients, third party applications can access its resources using URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) How do we do the Performance testing of RESTful API’s?

Testing SOAP/REST Web Services Using JMeter Representational State Transfer (REST) uses the HTTP request method with the most popular being: GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. The responses return status codes indicating success or failure, along with any applicable headers, and JSON representing the affected fields (or nothing) in the message-body. Read below and you can easily learn how to write a JMeter script with one of these methods!

Definition: End-to-end testing is a methodology used to test whether the flow of an application is performing as designed from start to finish. The purpose of carrying out end-to-end tests is to identify system dependencies and to ensure that the right information is passed between various system components and systems. For example, a simplified end-to-end testing of an email application might involve: 1. Logging in to the application 2. Accessing the inbox 3. Opening and closing the mailbox 4. Composing, forwarding or replying to email 5. Checking the sent items 6. Logging out of the application

A relational database is a collection of data items organized as a set of formally-described tables from which data can be accessed or reassembled in many different ways without having to reorganize the database tables.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT), also called beta testing, is one sure way to reduce or eliminate change requests, and drastically reduce project costs. UAT is an effective process with a high rate of return for those who take the time to implement and follow its discipline.

Post based on my past QA job in 3VR company. America and Canada using NTSC, which stands for National television system committee. This was the first colour tv broadcast system. NTSC is also used in Asia, including Japan. Western Europe and Australia using PAL, or phase alternating line format. PAL was developed in the early 1960's. The increased bandwidth allows for better picture quality. Eastern Europe and France use SECAM, or sequential couleur avec memoire (sequential color with memory). SECAM uses the same bandwidth as PAL but transmits the colour information sequentially.

I was involved in test implemented to app feature "Search" in one of my projects called "Address Book" (contacts). And I do understand how important correct search algorithms form is and today will slightly share my knowledge with you. Today the "Search" functionality part of many programs and web services. Some searches involve looking for an entry in a database, such as looking up your record in the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) database. Other search algorithms trawl through a virtual space, such as those hunting for the best chess moves. Although programmers can choose from numerous search types, they select the algorithm that best matches the size and structure of the database to provide a user-friendly experience.

Fiddler is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software, communications protocol development and education.

These data are extremely valuable to troubleshoot HTTP, Java script errors and performance issues related to browser page rendering, this article is a step by step tutorial to guide how to use Fiddler and capture HTTP Traffic.

Performance testing measures response times across various system layers, and identifies potential bottlenecks that may exist. Ideally, the system being tested is already functionally stable. Load testing is often a part of the larger performance testing strategy. It is different from performance testing, in that performance testing may measure response time with a single user exercising the system or with multiple users exercising the system. Load testing, however, focusing on increasing the load on the system to some stated or implied maximum load , to verified the system can handled defined system boundaries. Volume testing is often considered synonymous with load testing, yet volume testing focuses on data. Stress testing goes to the next level with respect to the quantity of users or data place in the system. The intent is to go beyond testing stated or implied boundaries, and identify actual boundaries by identifying the precise load at which the system breaks (its resources...

Selenium Grid manual Also, good wiki from Google

I was asked many times about front-end testing: what to test and how to test it, and what tool are best to be used? And this is my final answer: You need to consider Mike Cohn’s analogy – the test pyramid. It will help you decide what kind of testing best to be done in a certain situation. At the bottom of the pyramid are the solid test units they are the foundation of the test strategy – they can provide you with a fast feedback. At the top, occupying the smallest part of the pyramid , are the UI tests. They interact with your UI directly(for example Selenium), but are costly and very slow on feedback. They can become very brittle and hard to maintain. At the middle of the pyramid there are integration tests that do not require an UI. In Rails, for instance, you would test your REST interface directly instead of interacting with the DOM elements. For smoke or regression tests UI are very useful. If there is a need to automate these, there are some dangers to consider. First, you shoul...

Selenium Webdriver provides two types of waits – implicit & explicit. An explicit wait makes WebDriver to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further with executions. An implicit wait makes WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain amount of time when trying to locate an element. Full information ### Explicit Waits ### ”’ An explicit waits is code you define to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code. The worst case of this is time.sleep(), which sets the condition to an exact time period to wait. There are some convenience methods provided that help you write code that will wait only as long as required. WebDriverWait in combination with ExpectedCondition is one way this can be accomplished. from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC ”’ wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10) element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,’someid’))) ### Implicit Waits ### ”’ An implicit wait is to tell WebDriver to po...

A Back end is the engine of any client/server system. If the back end malfunctions, it may cause system deadlock, data corruption, data loss and bad performance. Many front ends log on to a single SQL server. A bug in a back end may put serious impact on the whole system. Too many bugs in a back end will cost tremendous resources to find and fix bugs and delay the system developments.
