Link to store the subversion credentials in jenkins

2012-10-04T20:30:00.001-07:00

When we have configured master-slave connection,we need to store svn credentials in both master and slave .Link appears to enter the credentials on master for jobs which runs on master,but link doesn't appears for the jobs tied to slave.Hence ,Auhentication failed error appears and svn checkout cannot be done.

Below is the link which will help you to store the svn credentials on any jenkins .

If your jenkins is on localhost:8080 then,

http://localhost:8080/scm/SubversionSCM/enterCredential

If you need to setup credentials on jenkins which is deployed on any webserver , then

http://machinename:port/jenkins/scm/SubversionSCM/enterCredential

where port is webserver's port number

Calling a java class as ant target

2012-10-03T23:22:00.001-07:00

Here is the way to do it

classname: is filename of java :Ex: AutomationFileSequence
arg: Any arguments if required to run the class needs to be mentioned here.

<target name="run_PostData" >
<java fork="false" failonerror="yes" classname="com.qa.automation.main.AutomationFileSequence" classpathref="classpath">
            <arg line="${basedir}/Automation_PostData.properties"/>
    <arg line="PostData"/>
            </java>
            </target>

Starting and stopping selenium server through ant

2012-10-03T23:18:00.003-07:00

Here is the way to do it.

Start selenium hub:

<target name="startServerhub">
        <echo>Starting Selenium Server...</echo>
        <java jar="${lib.dir}/selenium-server-standalone.jar" fork="true" spawn="true">
            <arg line="-port ${selenium.port} -trustAllSSLcertificates"/>
            <arg line="-log log.txt"/>
            <arg value="-role"/>
            <arg value="hub"/>
        </java>
    </target>

Start selenium RC:

<target name="startServerRC" depends="startServerhub">
        <echo>Starting Selenium Server...</echo>
        <java jar="${lib.dir}/selenium-server-standalone.jar" fork="true" spawn="true">
            <arg line="-port 5555"/>
            <arg line="-log log.txt"/>
            <arg line="-firefoxProfileTemplate"/>
            <arg value="${lib.dir}/ff_profile"/>
            <arg line="-userExtensions"/>
                <arg value="${lib.dir}/user-extensions.js"/>
            <arg line="-role node"/>
            <arg line="-hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register "/>
            
        </java>
    </target>

Now ,save the targets in the file build.xml .navigate to the folder through cmd prompt and call

ant startServerRC

which will internally call startServerhub,since startServerRC depends on startServerhub.

Stop selenium :

<target name="stop-selenium" description="stop selenium server">
       <echo>Stopping selenium server</echo>
       <get taskname="selenium-shutdown" dest="result.txt" ignoreerrors="true"
             src="http://localhost:${selenium.port}/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDownSeleniumServer"/>
    </target>

To stop selenium, call : ant stop-selenium.

Sample Ant Script for running targets parallel and sequential

2012-10-03T23:14:00.002-07:00

Recently ,I faced a challenge for making one target which can run the entire suite with lot of module dependencies.This was resolved with the help of ant targets: sequential and parallel.

Requirement :
I need to run the following sequetially

1.compile target
2. run and run_psdata targets paralelly
3.run_PreData,run_DFPPulls,run_AdTechPulls.... parallelly
4.run_PostData,run_Sales parallely
5.run_Administration,run_E2EPartner360,..... parallelly
6.run_Alerts,run_CustomFields parallelly
7.Stop selenium

Below is the code to do all the above steps sequentially

<target name="CItarget">
        <sequential>
            <antcall target="compile"/>
            <parallel>
            <antcall target="run"/>
            <antcall target="run_PSDATA"/>
            </parallel>
             <parallel>
                <antcall target="run_PreData"/>
                <antcall target="run_DFPPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_AdTechPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_AppnexusPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_FTPPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_OASPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_GDFPPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_FreewheelPulls"/>
                <antcall target="run_ThirdPartyPulls"/>
            </parallel>
    <parallel>
        <antcall target="run_PostData"/>
        <antcall target="run_Sales"/>
    </parallel>
            <parallel>
                <antcall target="run_Administration"/>
                <antcall target="run_E2EPartner360"/>
                <antcall target="run_Finance"/>
                <antcall target="run_Loaders"/>
                <antcall target="run_Accounts"/>
                <antcall target="run_Adops"/>
            </parallel>
            <parallel>
                 <antcall target="run_Alerts"/>
                <antcall target="run_CustomFields"/>
            </parallel>
            <antcall target="stop-selenium"/>
       </sequential>
    </target>

Interview Questions for Automation Engineers

2012-03-05T02:17:00.003-08:00

1.Access Modifiers of JAVA

2.Explain final finaly and finalize

3.real example for abstract and interface

4.Launch firefox driver using webdriver.

ans: (driver driver = new firefox driver();)selenium selenium = new default selenium(driver,siteurl.com);

5.how to handle file upload using webdriver:

ans:Autoit /Sikulo\i

6.which is the plugin in ie to find d locator

ans: developer tool

7. Major difference between selenium RC and selenium Webdriver?

ans:Single origin policy

WebDriver works at the OS/browser level:For instance, command type works at the OS level rather than changing the value of the input elements with JavaScript
It drives the browser much more effectively and over comes the limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected our functional test coverage, like the file upload or download, pop-ups and dialogs barrier or self-signed certificates problems
Selenium RC, It ‘injects’ JavaScript functions into the browser when the browser was loaded and then used its JavaScript to drive the AUT within the browser. WebDriver does not use this technique. Again, it drives the browser directly using the browser’s built in support for automation.WebDriver drives the tests natively with the browser and emulates the Human interaction with website. Implementation differs on each browser’s.
Selenium 2.0 will provide both Selenium 1.x and WebDriver APIs.
WebDriver is the name of the key interface against which tests should be written, but there are 11 implementing classes, listed as below:

8.what is hashmap?

9.Explain OOPS concept

10.TestNG framework.(How to pass parameters to the test method)

11. why static keyword is used in main declaration?

12.what is difference between testng paralellism and selenium grid?

13.There is a script which types abc in a text box.When we run the script on firefox,it types abc with no pause,whereas if we run it on ie, it types a pauses types b pauses,types c and pauses.Y is it so?

ans: Using css instead of xpath might resolve the issue.

14. What are the challenges faced in IE?

ans:Lazy loading.

15.Scenario: Clicking on a button opens a pop up with no title or text ,just the locator of the popup exists.How do you wait for the popup to disappear?

ans:Wait for the text to be enabled on the main page.or check if the locator of the popup is still displayed on screen

16. Scenario: Above scenario how can you handle if multi threading is implemented.

if(any component on the mainpage is disabled due to popup){ //pop up is available

while(){

waitforpopupto disappear

}

qs: thread1 is in while(),control is given by cpu to thread2 to execute something else.until control comes back, popup might have come and disappeared .So, thread1 goes to infinite loop.

What do we do in such situation?

17. Some testcases fails due to sync issue even after providing explicit and implicit waits? how can we resolve this issue?

18.How do we re-run testcases which failed only due to sync issue in testNG?

Asked below in Amazon Interview:

19.without using inbuilt function, find the index of 1 string in other string

20.find the number is square root or not and find the sq root of any given number

30.write testcases of above to test ur code

Please provide your thoughts as comments..

How to access display function of class b in classA
if display function is static , if class a extends class B, if class A doesnt extend class B, if display function is private/protected.

Creation of Firefox profile for Selenium

2012-02-01T19:58:00.000-08:00

We use Selenium with firefox profile to test our JS functions in selenium console of firefox profile.

Before we can create profile, take a backup of firefox so that the bookmarks and default settings of firefox won't vanish.

Steps to take backup:

For Windows 7 users, go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and copy the default folder and paste it some local directory.
Windows XP users,C:\Users\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and copy the default folder and paste it some local directory.

Steps to create profile.

Make sure all your firefox instance are closed
Click Start>Run(windows xp) or click start ,type in search (windows 7)
Type “firefox.exe -ProfileManager -no-remote” or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -ProfileManager -no-remote
Select “Create Profile”
Click “Next”
Enter new profile name (i.e. selenium) Optional: Select a directory folder to store your new profile
Click “Finish”
Don't Select “Don’t ask at startup”
   Click “Start Firefox” and configure settings , From “View\Toolbars” tab, uncheck “Bookmarks Toolbar”
    Right click from toolbar and click “Customize”
    Remove “Google search” by dragging it to the “Customize Toolbar” window
    From the “Customize Toolbar” window, click “Use Small Icons” check box then hit “Done”
    Click “Tools\Options” then set the following:
    a. “Main” tab
    - set Home Page to “about:blank”
    - uncheck “Show the Downloads..” option
    b. “Tabs” tab
    - Select “a new window” for new pages
    - Uncheck all warning options
    c. “Content” tab
    - uncheck “Block pop-up” windows option
    d. “Privacy” tab
    - uncheck all “History” options
    e. “Security” tab
    - uncheck all “Security” options
    - click “Settings” and uncheck all warning options
    f. “Advanced” tab
    - Uncheck “autoscrolling” option from “General” tab
    - uncheck “warn me …” and “Ssearch Engines”option from “Update” tab
    From “Tools\Add-ons” install the following:
    - Firebug: allows you to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript on your application under test
    - Selenium IDE: allows you to record, edit, and debug Selenium tests
    - From the address bar type “about:config” and add the following by right-click anywhere on the page and selecting “new”
    - extensions.update.notifyUser (type=boolean; value=false)
    - extensions.newAddons (type=boolean; value=false)
Now , your profile is set. To restart the default firefox , close the firefox profile, and Click Start>Run(windows xp) or click start ,type in search (windows 7) . Type “firefox.exe -ProfileManager -no-remote” or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -ProfileManager -no-remote . Select default and then click on “Don’t ask at startup”
Now you can see your default firefox with all your bookmarks.

If, by any chance, the bookmarks are gone,then follow,

Steps to restore the default profile

Copy the default folder from the local directory
Paste it in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.which will replace the default profile .

Steps to launch Selenium Server with the created profile

Go to the folder containingselenium server jar
Now start selenium server with firefox profile by giving the right location of profile
java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate “<Selenium Profile Directory>”

ex : java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jvme65u6.selenium"
To launch selenium test using profile through ant,


 <target name="startServer">

        <echo>Start Selenium Server...</echo>

        <java jar="${lib.dir}/selenium-server.jar" fork="true" spawn="true">

            <arg line="-port ${selenium.port} -trustAllSSLcertificates"/>

            <arg line="-log log.txt"/>    

            <arg value="-userExtensions"/>

                <arg value="${lib.dir}/user-extensions.js"/>

        </java>

    </target>

Any problems??? feel free to comment...

Integrating Selenium with jenkins/Hudson

2012-01-24T20:10:00.000-08:00

Integrating Selenium with Jenkins

Jenkins is a build server designed for Java. Jenkins is responsible for checking if your application needs building, building it, triggering any testing that you have defined and, finally, reporting on the state of the build. Jenkins is easily available and can display JUnit reports in graphical format with drilldown capabilities.

Download Jenkins

Download Jenkins war from Jenkins website. Save it in one of our drive. For ex: D:\Jenkins.war

Start Jenkins:

Open command prompt and navigate to the folder containing jenkins.war and give java –jar jenkins.war

You can see

4. In the Source code management section, select the repository type and enter the repository location.

Integrating Selenium with Jenkins:

1. In the Build Section, there are 4 options through which you can integrate your projects to selenium

2. In my project, I use ant as building tool which can run suite. (Check the blog, http://seleniumready.blogspot.in/2012/10/sample-ant-script-for-running-targets.html )

3. In build Option->Add build step, we need to select invoke ant CItarget

1. In the targets section, write the target which runs the suite. In our case: run

2. Click on Advanced.

3. Enter the build file location in Build File field

1. In Post Build action section, Click on Publish junit test results report and enter the location to store the results xml’s, as shown below.

2. Click on Email notification, to get the result of unstable builds, or build failure.

3. Click on Save.

4. To run the build, Click on build now.

1. the build History section, You can see the build number with the time stamp.

. Clicking on the build link, will show the console output.

. You can see selenium test running on Hudson.

Challenges faced in ext js

2011-09-19T21:12:00.000-07:00

Hi,
I.m working on ext js application, whose speciality is,all the elements of the page are dynamic.This indicates that its not automation friendly.
I'll post some of the locators which i used to locate elements.

Selecting from drop down
There is a select list, which contains a text box and down arrow image button, clicking on button image, opens a drop down which contains element with dynamic id's.
Dynamic elements are : drop down elements (div's) , and image button.
Clue is, input box has an id.

This can be located as.

//input[@id='abc']/following-sibling::img

this clicks on image .now we need to select the dropdown list element , which also has dynamic id.
So,i used text function as,

//div[text()='CPA']

which clicks on cpa in the dropdown list.

Locating elements with same name ,based on their position using css

I hadto locate 3 elements with same id.(Accounts). All had same name, no other unique identifier.

So,i could locate them using,

css=div#salestabs td[class*=Accounts ]
css=div#salestabs td[class*=Accounts ] div:nth(1)
css=div#salestabs td[class*=Accounts ] div:nth(2)

Css will locate element based on their parent element.The above css looks so simple, but the dom is so complex.

div has class name x-combo-list-inner,under that

<div class="x-combo-list-item">YYYY-Month</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item x-combo-selected">YYYY-MM</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item x-combo-selected">MM-YYYY</div>

and then div closes(</div>)

Another div having same class name and same list of combo items as mentioned above. is located below the above div.

<div class='x-combo-list-inne'>
<div class="x-combo-list-item">YYYY-Month</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item x-combo-selected">YYYY-MM</div>
<div class="x-combo-list-item x-combo-selected">MM-YYYY</div>
</div>

this can be located as

css=div[class*='x-combo-list-inner'] div:nth(2)---locates 3rd element of 1st div.

css=div[class*='x-combo-list-inner'] div:nth(5)--locates 3rd element of 2nd div.

Post will be continued as n wen i find more challenges.....

AutoIT Script Generator-AU3Recorder

2011-01-13T22:18:00.000-08:00

To write autoit scipt,we need not learn the autoit scripting language.Instead ,we can download SciTE4AutoIt3from http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/downloads.shtml and install.Of course you need to have downloaded AutoIt from http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml and installed, before installing SciTE.

What can AU3Record do for you:

It will record Mouseclicks and Keyboardstrokes for you and translate those into AutoIt3 commands.
There is a AU3Record included which will store the recorded information into the currently edit file.
After installing ,goto start->programs->autoitv3->Scite Script Editor.
A window opens->go to tools and select AU3Recorder.

Also you can Start AU3Record by hitting Alt+F6:

Optionally Select the program you want to run before starting to recording and click on REC.
Now do all pointing, clicking and typing and when finished click on

Test Link installation on windows

2011-01-07T03:04:00.000-08:00

Hi,
Test link is a Test Management Tool and is based on PHP, MySQL, and includes several other open source tools and it also supports interface to various Bug tracking systems.

The tool enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases as well as organize them into test plans. These test plans allow team members to execute test cases and track test results dynamically, generate reports, trace software requirements, prioritize and assign.

Test Link is open source which is used for test management.So,I thought let me give a try.Test link is supported by hudson,that is also another reason to start working on Test link.

Follow these steps to install,

Download WAMPSERVER exe from http://download.cnet.com/WampServer/3000-18506_4-10797035.html?tag=mncol;1
Double click on wampserver exe to install and place it in some folder. for ex: D:\wamp\
Download Test Link from http://sourceforge.net/projects/testlink/files/TestLink%201.9/TestLink%201.9.0/testlink-1.9.0.zip/download
Extract the downloaded testlink in www folder of wamp. D:\wamp\www
In the notification area on windows,click on wampserver and select start all services.
Now go to http://localhost:80/testlink/
Click on click here for new installation.
Give database name as mysql and host as localhost.
Give the meaningful database name as testlink.
Provide admin and admin as testlink's username and password.
Click on setup test Link.
Now you are ready to use the testLink.
Use the user name and password as admin and admin to login as user.
If it doesn't login,then give this statement. mysql -u root -proot testlink < D:\wamp\www\testlink\install\sql\mysql\testlink_create_tables.sql . where testlink is db name and mysql username,password is root and root.
Now the installation is over.You can login as admin and create testcases and test suite.

Benefits of Testlink:
This is open source (free to use) test management tool.

Easy to maintain for multiple project( don’t have to write test case again and again)

Centralized Repository for all Test cases

Centralized Repository for Results

Bug Tracking tool can also be integrated( Jira, Bugzilla etc.)

Requirement mapping can be done

Multiple Reports and charts can be viewed( Build wise Report, Multiple build execution report, Requirement coverage report, Total bugs logged for the application etc).Report can be viewed on email

Creating test suites with Junit4

2010-12-28T21:04:00.000-08:00

Test Suite can be created in JUnit 4 as

import org.junit.runners.Suite;

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({TestClass1.class, TestClass2.class})
public class TestSuite {
//nothing
}

The @RunWith(Suite.class) gives opportunity to combine both JUnit 4 and JUnit 3 tests and test cases together:


@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({
 ExampleOfJunit3TestSuite.class,
 ExampleOfJUnit3TestCase.class,
 ExampleOfJUnit4TestSuite.class,
 ExampleOfJUnit4TestCase.class})
public class BothJUnit4and3TestSuite {
}

The Both JUnit4 and 3 TestSuite runs all tests and test suites listed in @Suite.SuiteClasses.
