Test Automation Methodologies

You can find a documantaion about test automation methodologies which is described what is test automation and how we can do it effectively. This document is a brief but beneficial for whom want to start automate his test cases.

Selenium Error "Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated"

Selenium webdriver can drive different browsers like as Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer. These browsers actually cover the majority of internet users, so testing these browsers possibly covers the 90% of the internet users. However, there is no guaranty that the same automation scripts can work without a failure on these three browsers. For this reason, automation code should be error-prone for the browsers you want to cover.
The following error is caught when the test script run for Chrome and Internet Explorer, but surprisingly there is no error for the Firefox. Selenium gives an error like below: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\workspace\sample_project\sample_run.py", line 10, in <module>
    m.login()
  File "D:\workspace\sample_project\test_case_imps.py", line 335, in login
    driver.find_element_by_id("id_username").clear()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium-2.35.0-py2.7.egg\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py…

Change Default Timeout and Wait Time of Capybara

Image
One of the biggest challenge for automation is handling timeout problem. Most of the time, timeout is 60 seconds but it may sometimes not enough if you have badly designed asynchronous calls or the third party ajax calls. This makes handling timeout more complex.
set large enough to tolerate network related problems. For Selenium based automation frameworks, like Capybara, default Webdriver timeout is set to Net::ReadTimeout (Net::ReadTimeout)
Changing ReadTimeout If you have timeout problem for Capybara, it gives an error like above. This means that the page is not fully loaded in given timeout period. Even you can see that page is loaded correctly but webdriver wait until the Ajax calls finish. classBufferedIO#:nodoc: internal use onlydefinitialize(io) @io= io @read_timeout=60@continue_timeout=nil@debug_output=nil@rbuf=''end.....defrbuf_fillbegin@rbuf<<@io.read_nonblock(BUFSIZE) rescueIO::WaitReadableifIO.select([@io], nil, nil, @read_timeout…

Page-Object Pattern for Selenium Test Automation with Python

Image
Page-object model is a pattern that you can apply it to develop efficient automation framework. With the page-model, it is possible to minimize maintenance cost. Basically page-object means that your every page is inherited from a base class which includes basic functionalities for every page. If you have some new functionalities that every page should have, you can simple add it to the base class. Base class is like the following:

In this part we are creating pages which are inherited from base page. Every page has its own functionalities written as python functions. Some functions return to a new page, it means that these functions leave the current page and produce a new page. You should write as much as functions you need in the assertion part because this is the only part you can use the webdriver functions to interact with web pages. This part can be evaluate as providing data to assertion part.  

The last part is related to asserting your test cases against to the pages you have …

Performance Testing on CI: Locust is running on Jenkins

Image
For a successful Continuous Integration pipeline, there should be jobs for testing the performance of the application. It is necessary if the application is still performing well. Generally performance testing is thought as kinds of activities performed one step before going to live. In general approach it is true but don't forget to test your application's performance as soon as there is an testable software, such as an api end point, functions, and etc. For CI it is a good approach to testing performance after functional testing and just before the deployment of next stage. In this post, I want to share some info about Jenkins and Locust.
In my previous post you can find some information about Locust and Jenkins. Jenkins operates the CI environment and Locust is a tool for performance testing. To run the Locust on Jenkins you need command line arguments which control the number of clients,  hatch rate, running locust without web interface and there should be some parameters t…

Getting the text of elements in Espresso

Image
Espresso is not designed to play with UI objects. When you are considering it in terms of capability for testing, it needs to be improved more. It is not as mature as Android SDK itself so you need to customize somethings to handle your requirements. Even you may need to use other tools like UIAutomator integrated into your test suite.
In this post, I want to show how we can handle getting the text of ViewInteraction view. 
ViewInteraction view does not have .text function for getting the text of the object since it is designed to interact with the object. Another method which may solve the problem of the assertion is to use the .check for matching the text, as follows:


However, this method is not a good way to assert that a certain field text equals a value. For this purpose, we need to get the text of the element and assert it. To get the text of the ViewInteraction element, we need to cast it to TextView with getting the assignable form of it then extract the text that the view ho…
