WebDriver - Simple way to assert List values (Select List box)

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 17:48:00 +0000

Below is one of the simple and straight forward way to assert list of values.

This is applicable when we want to validate table data or values from multiple webelements.

List<String> expectedData = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList("Madan","Blog"));

List<String> optionValues = new ArrayList<>();

new Select(element).getOptions().stream().forEach(listOption -> optionValues.add(listOption.getText()));

Assert.assertEquals(optionValues,expectedData);

HackerRank 2D Array - DS

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 22:47:00 +0000

Given a 2D Array, :

1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0

An hourglass in is a subset of values with indices falling in this pattern in 's graphical representation:

a b c
  d
e f g

There are hourglasses in . An hourglass sum is the sum of an hourglass' values. Calculate the hourglass sum for every hourglass in , then print the maximum hourglass sum. The array will always be .

Example

-9 -9 -9  1 1 1 
 0 -9  0  4 3 2
-9 -9 -9  1 2 3
 0  0  8  6 6 0
 0  0  0 -2 0 0
 0  0  1  2 4 0

The hourglass sums are:

-63, -34, -9, 12, 
-10,   0, 28, 23, 
-27, -11, -2, 10, 
  9,  17, 25, 18

The highest hourglass sum is from the hourglass beginning at row , column :

0 4 3
  1
8 6 6

Note: If you have already solved the Java domain's Java 2D Array challenge, you may wish to skip this challenge.

Debug your WebDriver script easily by connecting to existing Chrome Browser

Step1:

Open Chrome browser using --remote-debugging-port

Step2:

Ensure you have correct chromedriver.exe downloaded which matches with your chrome browser version.

Step3:

Connect to this browser by writing a separate code for debug to handle browser

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();

chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("debuggerAddress","localhost:1234");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

.....

......

Notes: You can set your application from where you want to test , and start from respective step.

In this example used port 1234 , you are free to use any available port in your system.

Do we need to use Protractor ?

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:37:00 +0000

Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications. And allows us to test application from the user's perspective.

Basically Protractor is wrapper over selenium WebDriver. (So you are inheriting all existing issues which are in open from WebDriver).

One of the benefit of using protractor is that there is no need to add waits for synchronization as it is done automatically by Protractor.

If you are already using your established framework with explicit , fluent and other wait mechanisms you should be able to write the tests as the same how you have done for Non Angular applications.

I hope it might be little easy to maintain and write tests for Angular using your frameworks as you are already expertise and familiar with your coding style, locator mechanism , tool set and issues.

And I don't see a reason

To completely change the way you are presently doing (unless you have done some POC to see the difference with new tools).
Spending time to learn,understand new set of tools. (eg: Protractor,Mocha, Chai ,Jasmine,Reports etc.)

And finally its all depended on your POC and comparisons with your existing tools/framework Pros and Cons.

Mouse Action using JS

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:32:00 +0000

Mouse Over and MouseOut

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)DriverFactory.getDriver();
        executor.executeScript("if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseover', true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseover');}", element);
                         executor.executeScript("if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mouseout', true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmouseout');}", element);

Mouse Click

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)DriverFactory.getDriver();
                executor.executeScript("if(document.createEvent){var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');evObj.initEvent('mousedown', true, false); arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evObj);} else if(document.createEventObject) { arguments[0].fireEvent('onmousedown');}", element);

        }

Mouse click event in WebDriver

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 16:11:00 +0000

Due to changes in UI frameworks , some of the elements click operation wont have any didnt trigger any event. We may need to pass "onMouseClick" operation. And that can be achieved using the following code:

Ex: ListboxView (For user view it looks like listbox but ..)

Mouse mouse = ((HasInputDevices) driver).getMouse();

Locatable hoverItem = (Locatable) listoption;

mouse.mouseDown(hoverItem.getCoordinates());

mouse.mouseUp(hoverItem.getCoordinates());

Performing fireEvent in WebDriver

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 06:09:00 +0000

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("myElement"));
JavascriptLibrary javascript = new JavascriptLibrary();
javascript.callEmbeddedSelenium(driver, "triggerEvent", element, "blur");

window.showModalDialog - Webdriver Issue

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 05:26:00 +0000

Last month I was automating a scenario where the popup window showsup with Yes/No button. While verifying manually i thought it can be handled either by using Alert / selectWindow and perform actions.
At first I tried to record the same scenario using Selenium-IDE
Unfortunately IDE is not able to recognize the window :(.

So I thought to verify how the popup window was actually called/invoked.
- On click a button , it popups the child window and the main window is still waiting to complete its transcation.
- Webdriver's driver will be waiting for its turn to complete the transcation , and not able to execute the statements until i close the popup manually. (In IE with selectWindow.. worked , but in Firefox ..NO).
-I verified the button using firebug , and the html code was something like <... onclick="return mypopup('Click Yes if you need to continue')"....>
-And in the mypopup javascript code is using window.shwoModalDialog
-For me I need to click Yes , and the application is actually returning true. if No, returns false.

So finally I written a piece of code which updates the the HTML code in the app at run time using.

public void clickElementAndConfirmPopup(){
WebElement element = ..findElement.....
((JavascriptExecutor) DriverFactory.getDriver()).executeScript(
"arguments[0].setAttribute('onclick',arguments[1]);", element, "return true");
element.click(); } public void clickElementAndConfirmPopup(){

WebElement element = ..findElement.....
((JavascriptExecutor) DriverFactory.getDriver()).executeScript(
"arguments[0].setAttribute('onclick',arguments[1]);", element, "return false");
element.click();
}

- And now able to handle in both browsers (IE and FireFox)..

10 Commandments for Test Automation Outsourcing

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 04:40:00 +0000

http://shrinik.blogspot.in/2008/09/10-commandments-for-automation.html

Here is an outline .. read complete details in the actual blog.
Automation is not an answer to your testing problems
Automation is White Elephant
Anything that is quickly creatable – is quickly perishable
Your business users can not create and own Automation solutions
Judge your vendor by the questions they ask about automation Higher % of offshoring in automation higher investments to make
Pay attention to dependencies and Quality of current test Artifacts
Decide Acceptance criteria
Avoid linking an automation project (and its deliverables) to application release dates
Record and Playback (RP) Automation is for Kids

Do you agree with these commandments? Any different experience?

[update]
Some additional tips :
What a Vendor should ask you
- questions about your manual testing practice
- Your objectives of Automation and expectations
- Readiness to take up automation in terms of test cases, application state and environment
- Ask about your expectations on ROI

What vendor should suggest you
- Plan for automation maintenance when supplier is gone.
- Automation may or may not reduce cycle time – that depends upon nature of tests, application technology stack, nature of tool etc
- Automation may or may not reduce the cost of testing.

What to look for in an automation proposal
- Acceptance criteria
- Automation design details – how tests will be structured
- Environment related assumptions
- Pre-requisites about tool licenses, test cases, test data, access to developers, testers and business users (for clarifications about test cases)

Session Data loss popup problem

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:32:00 +0000

I want to share one of my experiences in how easy to maintain scripts when we follow Page Object pattern with a recent change in one of the application.

To avoid data loss while navigating or refreshing to a page, a popup window appears with message "Application session / Data will be loss" with OK and Cancel button. (And which is not a JavaScript popup :( )

Problem:

There are too many flows where the application opens dialog boxes, frames, popup etc.

Everywhere we need to handle the Session popup.

Solution: When we view the source code of the page, we got to know the JavaScript for Session popup written as below

&lt script language="JavaScript" &gt

var allowPrompt = true;

window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;

.....

So, to avoid this we used ”this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().allowPrompt=false" command in our base page constructor which solved the problem.

Now we are happily running our tests without any change in our test script(s).

Python - Paramiko - Transport to negotiate SSH2 across the connection

2. sshxcute

I want to share w.r.t paramiko,as for #2 , there are good examples available in the same site/page.

else:

sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t)

# BETTER: use the get() and put() methods
# for fname in os.listdir(dir_local):

for fname in glob.glob(dir_local + os.sep + filePattern):
is_up_to_date = False
if fname.lower().endswith('txt'):
local_file = os.path.join(dir_local, fname)
remote_file = dir_remote + '/' + os.path.basename(fname)

#if remote file exists
try:
if sftp.stat(remote_file):
local_file_data = open(local_file, "rb").read()
remote_file_data = sftp.open(remote_file).read()
md1 = md5.new(local_file_data).digest()
md2 = md5.new(remote_file_data).digest()
if md1 == md2:
is_up_to_date = True
print "UNCHANGED:", os.path.basename(fname)
else:
print "MODIFIED:", os.path.basename(fname),
except:
print "NEW: ", os.path.basename(fname),

if not is_up_to_date:
print 'Copying', local_file, 'to ', remote_file
sftp.put(local_file, remote_file)

How to find the differences between two xml files

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:51:00 +0000

When i was struggling with comparing two xml files by writing lot of Code , i came to know about XMLUnit.
Take a look at this cool code ( copied from http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/api/overview-summary.html)
XMLUnit provides extensions to the JUnit framework to allow assertions to be made about XML content.

Using XMLUnit

Create a subclass of XMLTestCasesomething like this:

public class TestSomething extends XMLTestcase {
    // standard JUnit style constructor
    public TestSomething(String name) {
        super(name);
    }
    // standard JUnit style method
    public static TestSuite suite() {
        return new TestSuite(TestSomething.class);
    }
}

Set the global JAXP settings in XMLUnitso that your chosen parser and transformer are used for the tests.
Note:You can skip this bit if you use the default JAXP settings or you have an Ant task that uses-D JVM options to specify the JAXP settings.

// set the JAXP factories to use the Xerces parser
    // - declare to throw Exception as if this fails then all the tests will
    // fail, and JUnit copes with these Exceptions for us
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        XMLUnit.setControlParser(
            "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
        // this next line is strictly not required - if no test parser is
        // explicitly specified then the same factory class will be used for
        // both test and control
        XMLUnit.setTestParser(
            "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");

        XMLUnit.setSAXParserFactory(
            "org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
        XMLUnit.setTransformerFactory(
            "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");
    }

Add test methods to make your assertions: theXMLTestCase javadoc lists the available assertion methods and their usage, but here are some examples...

public void testObjectAsXML() throws Exception {
        String expectedXML = "....";
        String objectAsXML = null;
        //...set up some object here and serialize its state into
        //our test String...
        assertXMLEqual(expectedXML, objectAsXML);
    }

    public void testTransformToFormatB() throws Exception {
        String expectedFormatB = "....";
        String formatA = "....";
        String transformXSLT = "....";
        Transform formatAToFormatB = new Transform(formatA, transformXSLT);
        assertXMLEqual(new Diff(expectedFormatB, formatAToFormatB), true);
    }

    public void testIsValidAfterTransform() throws Exception {
        String incomingMessage = "....";
        String toSourceSystemXSLT = "....";
        Transform transform = new Transform(incomingMessage, toSourceSystemXSLT);
        assertXMLValid(transform.getResultString());
    }

    public void testXpaths() throws Exception {
        String ukCustomerContactPhoneNos = "//customer[@country='UK']/contact/phone";
        String customerExtract1 = "....";
        String customerExtract2 = "....";
        assertXpathsNotEqual(ukCustomerContactPhoneNos, customerExtract1,
            ukCustomerContactPhoneNos, customerExtract2);
    }

    public void testXpathValues() throws Exception {
        String firstListItem = "/html/body/div[@id='myList']/h1/ol/li[1]";
        String secondListItem = "/html/body/div[@id='myList']/h1/ol/li[2]";
        String myHtmlPage = "....";
        assertXpathValuesNotEqual(firstListItem, secondListItem, myHtmlPage);

Selenium Click and ClickAt

Click - to click on a Locator
ClickAt - to click on a Locator w.r.t coordinates

Basically ClickAt can be used as an alternate to Click for rich ui frameworks like DOJO,Wickets etc.

Selenium - Autosuggest edit field

noreply@blogger.com (Madan Mohan Reddy) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 06:58:00 +0000

keyPressNative method will be used to handle autosuggestion.
keyPressNative method -Simulates a user pressing and releasing a key by sending a native operating system keystroke. This function uses the java.awt.Robot class to send a keystroke; this more accurately simulates typing a key on the keyboard. It does not honor settings from the shiftKeyDown, controlKeyDown, altKeyDown and metaKeyDown commands, and does not target any particular HTML element. To send a keystroke to a particular element, focus on the element first before running this command.

public void selectAutosuggest(String webElementLocator,String inputValue){
char[] stringArray = inputValue.toUpperCase().toCharArray();
selenium.click(webElementLocator);
for(int i=0;i &lt stringArray.length ; i + +)
selenium.keyPress(webElementLocator,""+(int)stringArray[i]);
//Press downarrow and click EnterKey
selenium.keyPressNative(String.valueOf(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN));
selenium.keyPressNative(String.valueOf(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER));
Thread.sleep(1000);
