Selenium is a portable and popular open-source software-testing framework for web applications. It provides a playback tool for authoring tests without the necessity to acquire knowledge of a test scripting language (Selenium IDE). Selenium also provides a test domain-specific language (Selenese) to write tests in several popular programming languages, including Scala, Groovy, Java, Ruby, C#, PHP, Python, and Perl. The tests can then run against the current and newest web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.  Selenium is composed of respective components with specific role assists the web application test automation development: 1. Selenium Grid 2. Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) 3. Selenium WebDriver 4. Selenium RC (Remote Control) Today, users access sites and web applications on different platforms, devices, and browsers. Organizations demand robust test automation tools to assess all aspects of their web applications across varied...

Undoubtedly, Selenium has made web testing far simpler for many QA teams and enterprises worldwide, but it has a fair share of challenges. That being said, most of such issues testers encounter have quite clear-cut solutions, which is why we have summarized some of the common Selenium automation testing challenges, along with their solution. Let’s get started! Selenium Automation Testing Challenges & Solutions Mobile Application Testing Reporting Pop-up Windows and Alerts Page load Scalability Desktop Application Testing 1. Mobile Application Testing When using  Selenium , we can create  automated test cases  on any operating system and browser on desktop, however, we cannot perform mobile tests with Selenium simultaneously. Solution :  You can make use of tools like  Appium mobile app automation tool  to handle iOS and Android applications utilizing the WebDriver protocol. As more and more users are opting for mobile devices, it’s no surprise that test...

The Manual testing is considered as the preliminary testing phase which generally evaluates the behavior of the app developed, by performing the step by step assessment of the requirement specification analysis record. The prime objective of manual testing is to ensure that the app works extraordinarily and fine without any sort of bugs and functional defects and also as per the requirement specification documents. Well, the future of manual testing tends to bit closer and closer to Software Development in functioning and requirements. The modification and operational developments in manual testing prove that it is necessary for manual testers for improving their skills and daily working styles. The testers who stick on Manual testing processes only should update their skills with new technologies and automation testing frameworks, in terms of development/special testing tools, leadership qualities, logical thinking, and process analysis. Now the query may arise in...

Trac Bugzilla ReQtest BugHerd Jira Mantis There is one major challenge that comes with every new app or website, something that tech-savvy people – name “a bug”. Those bugs are giving developers a tough time. Those bugs are the reason, why we require using bug tracking systems to find, document, and resolve these bugs. The Quality Assurance Market has seen the emergence of the series of defect management or bug tracking systems tools over the years. Let’s Have a Glance at the Best Bug Tracking Tools : Trac — Bug Tracking Tool It is an open-source and an improved wiki and issue tracking system for particular software development projects. It has been adopted by various enterprises for software development projects. It offers a simple to use web interface. It can be used for documents and management. Trac integrates with high version control systems considering Git and Subversion. It also allows wiki markup in issue descriptions and commit messages and to creat...

Software testing is performed to verify that the complete software package functions according to the expectation as defined by the specifications/ requirements. The critical concern is not only to find out every software bug that exists but to ascertain situations that could negatively affect Customer usability and/or maintainability. The major goals of Software testing by expert QA Firms are as follows: * Finding defects and flaws which may get created by the programmer while the software developing process. * Evaluates the potential of a system and system performance * Gaining confidence in and deliver information about the quality level. * To prevent bugs and defects. * Measure the quality of the software * To ensure that the end result meets both the user and the business requirements. * To assure that it meets the SRS (System Requirement Specifications) and the BRS (Business * Requirement Specification). To gain confidence by providing them a quality product...

Selenium is one of the famous open-source tools used for automating web applications. It is used for the execution of test scripts or test cases on web apps. Selenium supports various programming languages such as: PHP, Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, and Ruby. It is language-independent, which clears that it was developed using Java, and can be used with C#, Java, PHP, JavaScript, etc. It is also platform-independent. The framework or code, developed using C#/Java, can be implemented on different platforms/OS like: “ Mac OS, Windows OS, and Linux”. Selenium supports different browsers such as Edge Browser (Windows 10), Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox Browser, Internet Explorer, etc. Each browser has its distinct driver to execute test scripts on their browsers; for instance, to execute Selenium scripts on Chrome, we have Chrome drivers. Google Chrome driver and Internet Explorer (IE) driver support both 32-bit & 64-bit versions, which we can download and use o...

Continuous integration and Continuous delivery (CI/CD) are often cited as two different pillars of successful DevOps. First, it was Waterfall, then it was Agile, and now it is DevOps. This is how current era developers approach building great products. The rise of DevOps has come to the fresh newest techniques of Continuous Delivery, Continuous Integration (CI/CD), and Continuous Deployment. Continuous Deployment Continuous integration focuses on blending the work products of individual developers together into a repository. This is often done various times every single day, and the prime purpose is to enable early detection of integration bugs, which should eventually result in tight cohesion & more development collaboration. The aim of continuous delivery is to reduce the friction points that are inherent in the deployment or release processes. Generally, the implementation covers automating every single step for build deployments such that a safe code release can ...

Scope of automation testing in the future E ver since technology is progressing at a speedy pace, the demand for getting projects done quicker has increased more than ever. To get projects done fast, the complete procedures followed during a software life cycle needs to become accelerated as well. In the area of software testing, automation can be implemented to save cost and time but only when used in time-taking projects. When it comes to performing regression testing, large scale testing, automation testing is the way to go. It can be a good choice. There are a number of necessary advantages from test automation like Increases the software quality, lessens manual software testing operations and eradicate redundant testing efforts, create extra systematic repeatable software tests, Minimising repetitive work, and generate more consistent testing outcomes, higher consistency.  Execute more software tests and accomplish better testing coverage in a very limited ...

Selenium is a suite of web browser automation tools to automate browsers across a range of platforms. It is principally used to automate web apps for testing reasons even though it’s capable of much more. The majority of the big-name browser vendors support it. As the web gets more complicated, using the Selenium testing approach has become more and more popular. Even though it has made web testing far simpler for many teams and enterprises around the world, it has its fair share of issues due to its open-source nature. Most of the challenges that testers experience have moderately straightforward solutions, which is why we summarize the most common Selenium challenges and how to fix them. Challenges You faced in Selenium · Can’t test windows application- Selenium does not support windows based apps.
