TestProject- https://testproject.io/

I admit this when it comes to automation, I'm still old school and prefers using direct APIs/JARs but as TestProject is creating so much buzz recently so I thought of doing Hands-On to it by using their "free forever plan".

Apart from being the first free community-powered cloud test automation platform, there are many things that intrigued me:

- It collaborates very well with other popular frameworks such as Selenium and Appium.

- Oh man, execution speed is really fast.

- Addons: It supports lots of awesome addons that help to make our tests very powerful like "jRand" that lets you access random data generators for a variety of test data.

- Most of the basic functionalities like scheduled execution using CI/CD pipeline with out-of-the-box integrations to Jenkins and other tools, scripting, etc. can be learned in a week max. For Novice test automation engineers to learn the programming syntax can take up to max 2 weeks.

- Always wanted features like "Run Until here" and "Run from here" especially when we execute it on devices, so that's another good feature.

Don’t believe me, take it for a dry run! https://testproject.io/

How to Unzip files in Selenium (Java)?

1) Using Java (Lengthy way) : Create a utility and use it:>> import java.io.BufferedOutputStream; import org.openqa.selenium.io.Zip; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream; public class UnzipUtil { private static final int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096; public void unzip (String zipFilePath, String destDirectory) throws IOException { File destDir = new File(destDirectory); if (!destDir.exists()) { destDir.mkdir(); } ZipInputStream zipIn = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFilePath)); ZipEntry entry = zipIn.getNextEntry(); // to iterates over entries in the zip folder while (entry != null) { String filePath = destDirectory + File.separator + entry.getName(); if (!entry.isDirectory()) { extractFile (zipIn, filePath);

Encode/Decode the variable/response using Postman itself

We get a lot of use cases where we may have to implement Base64 encoding and/or decoding while building our APIs. And, if you are wondering if it is possible to encode/decode the variable/response using Postman itself or how to encode/decode the token or password in postman and save it in a variable? To Base64 encode/decode, the quickest way is to use JavaScript methods btoa, atob: atob - It turns base64-encoded ASCII data back to binary. btoa - It turns binary data to base64-encoded ASCII. Sample code : var responseBody = pm.response.json(); var parsedPwd = JSON.parse(atob(responseBody.password)); // presuming password is in the payload pm.collectionVariables.set("password", parsedPwd);

The use of Verbose attribute in testNG or POM.xml (maven-surefire-plugin)

At times, we see some weird behavior in your testNG execution and feel that the information displayed is insufficient and would like to see more details. At other times, the output on the console is too verbose and we may want to only see the errors. This is where a verbose attribute can help you- it is used to define the amount of logging to be performed on the console. The verbosity level is 0 to 10, where 10 is most detailed. Once you set it to 10, you'll see that console output will contain information regarding the tests, methods, and listeners, etc. <suite name="Suite" thread-count="5" verbose="10"> Note* You can specify -1 and this will put TestNG in debug mode. The default level is 0. Alternatively, you can set the verbose level through attribute in "maven-surefire-plugin" in pom.xml, as shown in the image. #testNG #automationTesting #verbose # #testAutomation
