TestProject smart and powerful recorder

 

TestProject already had a smart recorder that was capable of doing fantastic stuff we look for in any record and playback. It can easily generate source code from recorded tests, suggest useful add-ons, allow us to choose from various locator strategies, and view all available properties of any UI components, etc.

But have you checked their new versatile and much powerful recorder? You should check it when you get the time and share your feedback. Here are the few enhancements I noticed:

1) Added support for iFrames. I am sure this will be helpful in testing apps that play with so many iFrames.

2) Self-healing feature for the stability of the locators: I have used other tools/frameworks like Canopy(F# library built on top of Selenium) and it wasn't that effective in terms of Self-healing feature but I must say that it works very effectively when I tried using TestProject recorder to record, edit and playback. Also, if a Self-Healing mechanism was used to recover from an error, it indicates that in our execution report. Plus, we can always change/remove any alternative strategies in case we aren't interested.

3) A new interface that is more intuitive and we can safely call it a "speaking interface" as it saves so much time to find the next steps, suggestions, etc.

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
