TEST THE RISK!

If you are working on shell most of the time Aliases are very help full and time saving. For testing purposes you can use Alias for getting ready your test suites. In this post, I want to explain both running Selenium and Capybara on console and creating aliases for each. This post is for Windows machines, if you are using Unix-like see this post . Creating Scripts for Selenium and Capybara First of all, it is assumed that you have installed  Selenium  and  Capybara  correctly and they work on your machines. If you haven't installed, you can see my previous posts. I am using Capybara with Ruby. You can use several different language for Selenium but Capybara works only with Ruby.  Create scripts in a directory called scripts (better to use this all user so the path should look like  c:/scripts ) for your automation tool as following, save them as capybara.rb  and sel.py respectively: Creating Aliases For Windows Creating Profile File For windows we can use PowerShe

I think the most challenging part of test automation is nowadays having Continuous Integration and one step more is having Continuous Deployment. These two terms have been a buzzwords around the software community, and everyone is talking about them but there are very few companies that can apply these. The reasons behind this can be listed as: Mis-understanding of agile and scrum Lack of "real" test engineers and Lack of Dev-ops culture  Lack of stable test environments  Lack of vision in the software industry, which saving the day is more critical than saving the future Out-of-budget, not investing on good people but investing in tools On the other hand, there are lots of open-source tools that you can just build and configure your own CI, and maybe next step goes to continuous deployment. In this post, I want to explain how you can set up CI on a Windows server. I will use the following tools/technology and language: Ruby, Gem (many Gems), Capybara, Cucumbe

As I tried to explain in my previous posts Selenium is an automation framework for web application and Webdriver is the newer version of Selenium RC. I have used Selenium Webdriver for automatizing web application with version of selenium-2.25.0-py2.7.egg which prepared for the Python. However there are newer version this Webdriver package.In this post I explain how to update Webdriver version on Windows. If you check the site-packages folder where the Webdriver installation folders are present, you can see the related folder. In this folder there is easy_install.py which is used upgrading. If you can't find this file first you need you install setuptool . To update the Selenium version, you can follow the instruction below: Check easy_install file in the directory like as C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages if there is easy_install go to next step, if you don't have it install setuptools from here. Download Selenium newer version from here . Select the link what language
