And what next? > Future

We all have come across forms containing multiple fields. My next video tutorial deals with solving this issue. Hence data object like following can be made more comprehensible and less error prone - BigUser1 bigUser1 = new BigUser1("firstName", "lastName", "userName", "address2", "address1", "phone1", "phone2", "password", "confirmPassword");Head over to video tutorial to learn more :)

I have come across many articles which talk of carrying out security testing with selenium however I found it very cumbersome to set up such tests. This is what this tutorial is going to make easy for you. My next Security Testing and Selenium YouTube video covers following - Importance of having security testing on CI What is dynamic application security testing Recommended tools from https://

Selenium Tests Framework (referred as STF from here on) is a test automation framework for automated testing of Desktop web, mobile site and mobile apps. STF is based on WebDriver, Appium, TestNG and Maven. STF source code is available on GitHub. Please NOTICE that if you are new to selenium then you should first watch Java Training Video Tutorials and Selenium Training

There is no perfect tool, there are tools which satisfy specific requirements and Cypress is one such tool. I have not used Cypress and my assessment on this post is limited to information I have gathered reading about Cypress. Cypress appeared to me Selenium Remote Control (aka Selenium 1) repackaged with Chrome browser at it target. Cypress target audience is different than of Selenium's,
