Benchmark is a specific standard of measurement used to measure a product or service. In short, it is a metric or point of reference to access the quality of a particular product or service. Likewise, benchmark testing is a process where testers compare the software and hardware aspect of an application or system against a stipulated standard. Besides testing the performance, benchmark testing can also test the security feature of a system or application.Benchmark testing is a part of the software development life cycle (SDLC), where both developers and database administrators (DBAs) determine the security and performance of software and ...

There are many occasions where websites/applications have to run continuously for weeks/months without restarting the server. Since the number of users in such websites is exceedingly high, owners must ensure that users can access the website without facing any issues.The testers' role in such situations is to make sure these websites don't face any failure or memory leakage when exposed to high traffic. Under stability test, testers revealed these websites till their breakpoint and check how the system responds to such load. Systems can crash or slows down under heavy load. It can also act erratically in some cases. Therefore, stability ... Read More

In this post, we will understand the difference between manual and automated testing −Automation TestingIt uses automation tools to execute the test cases.It is fast in comparison to a manual approach.It doesn’t allow random testing to be performed.The initial investment is high.The return on investment is better in the long run.It is reliable.It is performed by tools and scripts.There is no testing fatigue in it.Even for a trivial change, automated test scripts have to be modified.It is expensive.All the stakeholders can login to the automation system and check the results of execution.It doesn’t involve human; hence it can’t assure being ...

We can perform session handling with the help of Selenium webdriver with a TestNG framework. To trigger different sessions, we shall use the attribute parallel in the TestNG XML file.A TestNG execution configuration is done in the TestNG XML. To create multiple sessions, we shall add the attributes – parallel and thread-count in the XML file.The attribute thread-count controls the number of sessions to be created while executing the tests in a parallel mode. The value of parallel attribute is set to methods.In our example, we would have three methods with three different session ids which are executing in parallel.Exampleimport ... Read More

We can handle SSL certificate with Selenium webdriver in Chrome browser. A SSL is the standardized protocol used to create a connection between the browser and server.The information exchanged via a SSL certificate is encrypted and it verifies if the information is sent to the correct server. It authenticates a website and provides protection from hacking.An untrusted SSL certificate error is thrown if there are problems in the SSL certificate. We shall receive such an error while we launch a website. In Chrome, we use the ChromeOptions class to work with SSL certificates.We shall create an instance of this class ... Read More

We can automate Google Signup form with Selenium webdriver in Python. To automate this page, we have to first launch the Google Signup page and identify each element on the form.Let us have a look at the Google Signup form −Examplefrom selenium import webdriver #set chromodriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe") #implicit wait driver.implicitly_wait(0.5) #launch URL driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/signup") #identify elements within form f = driver.find_element_by_id("firstName") f.send_keys("Test") l = driver.find_element_by_id("lastName") l.send_keys("One") u = driver.find_element_by_id("username") u.send_keys("test124ewin") p = driver.find_element_by_name("Passwd") p.send_keys("test124@") c = driver.find_element_by_name ("ConfirmPasswd") c.send_keys("test124@") #get value entered s = f.get_attribute("value") t = l.get_attribute("value") v = u.get_attribute("value") w = p.get_attribute("value") print("Values entered in form: ...
