Should not call "automate testing"

You can’t automate testing; you automate only the checks (tests)... Still baffled? Checks can be automated for sure but testing can NOT. When we interact with any application, we use our human brilliance to know the functionality of that application and then based on our intelligence we judge whether the behavior (use case) of that application is right or wrong — Can that judgment be automated? So far- Nope. Can we automate whether the behavior of that application is right or wrong on performing certain action/test? Yes.

Bruno vs Postman: Which API Client Should You Choose?

  As API testing becomes more central to modern software development, the tools we use to test, automate, and debug APIs can make a big difference.

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
