My Testing Thoughts

  Test Data Supplier (TestNG DataProvider wrapper) If you are a big fan of Stream and Collection API for data manipulation in the modern Java world, give a shot to this library that contains TestNG DataProvider wrapper (as of writing this blog, the latest version is based on TestNG 7.8.0) which helps to supply test data in a more flexible way. Supported return types Collection Map Entry Object[] double[] int[] long[] Stream / StreamEx Tuple A single Object of any common or custom type As it can return StreamEx, it gives you more power to play with flatmap, indices, transposing, etc. You can find more details and sample Gradle/Maven projects on their official GitHub repository page :  https://github.com/sskorol/test-data-supplier Enjoyed reading this article?

 If you use this code as mentioned in few other blogs and videos:   Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>(); headers.put("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data"); byte[] fileContent = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(new File(filePath)); RestAssured.given().headers(headers).body(fileContent).post(url);   There are high chances that you will get errors related to content-type or "400 - Request is not a multipart request". So, the solution is to use: .multiPart("file", new File("/path/to/file"),"application/pdf"). Please note that I have used "application/pdf" as 3rd param in the multiPart method and this value should be passed as per the file type that you are uploading like for the png file it should be "application/octet-stream", for JSON file it should be "application/JSON". multiPart is an overloaded method that can take max 3 parameters:   a) ...

  To integrate TestRail with any automation suite, we can use the TestRail APIs with the following basic flow: Create test cases in TestRail.   Provide those unique Test IDs from TestRail to your TestNG tests. Run automation: Create a test suite in TestRail before test execution using the TestRail API. And then post the run results according to test automation results using the TestRail API. Create test cases in TestRail:        2.  Creating a custom annotation and calling it as TestRails:      3.  After that, we associate our test cases with actual Test Rails ID’s like:     4.  These ids 1, 2, 3, and 4 are test case ID that we got from TestRail test cases, you can hover over your test case and see that ID in the URL (as shown below):     5. Create a Test Run in TestRail through code,  as you can look at that we have not created any Test Run manually (see below): Snapshot of TestRail before execution of...
