Read this article to find out more about Alpha and Beta testing and how they are different from each other. What is Alpha Testing? Alpha testing is the testing that is performed at the developer's site by the internal teams, before releasing the product to the external customers. The primary goal of alpha testing is basically to find bugs, and determine does the product work how it is expected ... 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

Selenium 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 Web ... Read More
