How to Compare Two Images in Selenium

Some time in testing we have to do image comparision as verification point. So, in this blog I expalin how to compare two images in selenium.

I have created one function for compare two images. you can use directly into your framework.

first of all you have to import below packages into your code.

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

Now, you can use below function for comparison of two images.

public boolean mCompareImages(BufferedImage img1, BufferedImage img2)
 {
  boolean bCompareImage = true;
  try
  {
   if (img1.getWidth() == img2.getWidth() && img1.getHeight() == img2.getHeight())
   {
    for (int i = 0; i < img1.getWidth(); i++)
    {
     for (int j = 0; j < img1.getHeight(); j++)
     {
      if (img1.getRGB(i, j) != img2.getRGB(i, j))
      {
       bCompareImage = false;
      }
     }
    }
   }
   else
   {
    bCompareImage = false;
   }   
  }
  catch(Exception E)
  {
   bCompareImage = false;
  }
  
  return bCompareImage;
 }

Here, we are comparing tow images first in terms of heights and width. If Height and Width both are same then we are comparing RGB components of both images. If RGB components are same then images are same otherwise it is different.

Function is return Boolean value. If images are same then true and not same then false.

Testing Types

Installation testing Main article: Installation testing An installation test assures that the system is installed correctly and working at actual customer's hardware. Compatibility testing Main article: Compatibility testing A common cause of software failure (real or perceived) is a lack of its compatibility with other application software, operating systems (or operating system versions, old or new), or target environments that differ greatly from the original (such as a terminal or GUI application intended to be run on the desktop now being required to become a web application, which must render in a web browser). For example, in the case of a lack of backward compatibility, this can occur because the programmers develop and test software only on the latest version of the target environment, which not all users may be running. This results in the unintended cons...

What really happens when you navigate to a URL

As a software developer, you certainly have a high-level picture of how web apps work and what kinds of technologies are involved: the browser, HTTP, HTML, web server, request handlers, and so on. In this article, we will take a deeper look at the sequence of events that take place when you visit a URL. 1. You enter a URL into the browser It all starts here: 2. The browser looks up the IP address for the domain name The first step in the navigation is to figure out the IP address for the visited domain. The DNS lookup proceeds as follows: Browser cache – The browser caches DNS records for some time. Interestingly, the OS does not tell the browser the time-to-live for each DNS record, and so the browser caches them for a fixed duration (varies between browsers, 2 – 30 minutes). OS cache – If the browser cache does not contain the desired record, the browser makes a system call (gethostbyname in Windows). The OS has its own cache....

Software Testing Basics - Software Testing Interview Questions and Answers

1. Can you explain the PDCA cycle and where testing fits in? Software testing is an important part of the software development process. In normal software development there are four important steps, also referred to, in short, as the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle. Let's review the four steps in detail. Plan: Define the goal and the plan for achieving that goal. Do/Execute: Depending on the plan strategy decided during the plan stage we do execution accordingly in this phase. Check: Check/Test to ensure that we are moving according to plan and are getting the desired results. Act: During the check cycle, if any issues are there, then we take appropriate action accordingly and revise our plan again. So developers and other stakeholders of the project do the "planning and building," while testers do the check part of the cycle. Therefore, software testing is done in check part of the PDCA cyle. 2. What is the difference between white box,...
