To ensure smooth, speedy and effective testing and delivery of a project, automation plays a crucial role. It becomes very essential in this digital business that continuous testing and delivery are ensured.Automation requires tools which control and compare the actual and the expected results. Repetitive execution as a part of Regression is also considered when Automation is talked about.While handling a huge project, automation plays a key role where few areas needs to be tested again and again in periodic interval. End-to-end testing result ensure the robust working of the application.When Automation is considers, it becomes very significant to identify ... Read More

IntroductionAmong the four flavors of Selenium, Selenium Grid is one such flavor. The facility to run multiple tests on multiple machines, on multiple browsers simultaneously is made possible by Selenium Grid. It also allows running test cases on multiple browsers in parallel.Selenium Grid has 2 versions- older Grid 1 and older Grid 2. Old Grid 1 is obsolete now, hence Grid 2 is used.Selenium 2 is bundled with Selenium Server jar file. There is no need to install Apache Ant unlike Grid 1.How it worksSelenium Grid consists of hub and multiple nodes. Test runs on single machine called Hub and ... Read More

Selenium 1 or known as RC (Remote Control) and Web Driver differ in many aspects but the key difference comes in the implementation layer or in simple words the architecture of both of them.As name suggest, RC is a Remote Control which works by taking the remote of the browser and then injects the automation code to be tested by injecting the custom scripts written.The Web Driver (known as Selenium 2) works on the browser directly and uses browsers in-built features to trigger the automation test written by tester. Web driver is the successor of Remote Control.The architecture of Selenium ... Read More

Selenium Webdriver is a framework that allows automation testing. It allows testing across various browsers. It can execute multiple tests over multiple browsers on multiple OS. Web Driver makes it possible to write a test script in Linux and run it in Windows. There are multiple programming languages that are supported by Web Driver such as Java, Python, Ruby, .Net, PHP to create test scripts.Selenium Web driver is derived from −In Selenium2, integration of Web Driver was considered which was designed to address a few limitations of Selenium RC.Selenium was introduced with the following new features −It can test dynamic ...

A24 JSON Wire protocol is the protocol in which is used when the web driver communicates with the browser. The working of the JSON is as below −In a server-client architecture, it is necessary that the client and server should be in sync and are able to receive and send the request and response.As the name suggests JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) is used to represent objects with a complex data structures. JSON wire protocol acts as a mediator between client libraries and Web Drivers. It sends transfers data between the client and the server on the web.The server doesn’t understand the ... Read More

Compatibility of Firefox with Selenium has always been a pain area. Before Selenium3, Firefox used to be the default browser for Selenium. But after Selenium3, by using GeckoDriver explicitly, we can initialize the script in FireFox.FireFox was fully supported only in previous versions i.e. v47 and earlier. Selenium WebDriver version 2.53 is not compatible with Mozilla FireFox version 47.0+. After v47.0, FireFox is provided with GeckoDriver. GeckoDriver is a proxy for using W3C WebDriver-compatible clients to interact with gecko-based browsers i.e. Mozilla FireFox.GeckoDriver acts a link between Selenium WebDriver tests and Mozilla FireFox Browser. It is a web browser engine ... Read More

Selenium started originally as an internal tool at Thought Works in Chicago which was being developed by Jason Huggins in 2004. He was helped by Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang and they built a Core mode as "JavaScriptTestRunner" for the testing of an internal Time and Expenses application (Python, Plone).They then thought of open-sourcing the test tool. ThoughtWorkers in various offices around the world picked up Selenium for commercial projects.Selenium RC was the first version of Selenium. In 2007, Huggins joined Google. Together with others like Jennifer Bevan, he continued with the development and stabilization of Selenium RC.In 2008, ... Read More

Automation − It is the technique to run the test cases without human intervention. If we are sticking to the IT industry, Automation is not just confined to Automation of test scripts. Automation is the basic control system in which human intervention is expected the least. Various many tasks such as Data Migration, Decision making for AI, deploying the code automatically in the latest builds for testing etc.Goals −The ultimate goal of Automation is to re-run the regression flows without intervention of manual tester. Initializing some amount of human effort is required to design the scripts. But the end result ... Read More
