(Framework) API Test automation with Ruby Rspec and Airborne

Automated tests for API and services are very important so there are lots of solutions for API test automation in the market. These solutions can be commercial-off-the-shelf (COT) or opensource libraries also, there are many frameworks created around these opensource libraries. Testing APIs with tools that have IDE can be easy to start and learn but it can be challenging to customize for your unique problems or integration to CI/CD tools can be hard. Therefore I can suggest you use one of the opensource libraries by implementing it with your favorite language. In this way, it can run faster,  easily extendable, and configurable.  I have created a framework with Airborne and Rspec for automating API tests, you can  check it from Github .  In this post, I want to explain what is Airborne and how I implemented a framework around it. You can simply update the environment variables and write your specs file in the ` specs ` folder.  What is API Testing API stan

Integration of Two open Source Test Automaiton Tools: Watir and Selenium

Selenium and Watir Selenium and Watir are both open source and well-known automation tools. The power of Selenium is great but sometimes it may lead some insufficient result for executing test cases, or some difficulties can be achieved by Watir easily, surely or wise verse. Therefore we can use Selenium and Watir together for automating web applications. In this post, I want to show a sample to illustrate how to use both of them in the same automation framework. Possibly you maybe find something more accurate than what I did, fell free to post your thoughts. I have used Selenium with Pyhton as a base automation framework and call Watir in Ruby which Watir can be just only implemented by it. If you use another language than Python, you should use its features. In the sample, sign up for MYHABIT is implemented as Watir function in the name sign_up() and it is called by Selenium.  To call the Watir, Python module must import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT from Subprocess like as f
