 Automated testing

Main article: Test automation
Many programming groups are relying more and more on automated testing, especially groups that use test-driven development. There are many frameworks to write tests in, and continuous integration software will run tests automatically every time code is checked into a version control system.
While automation cannot reproduce everything that a human can do (and all the ways they think of doing it), it can be very useful for regression testing. However, it does require a well-developed test suite of testing scripts in order to be truly useful.
Testing tools
Program testing and fault detection can be aided significantly by testing tools and debuggers. Testing/debug tools include features such as:
·        Program monitors, permitting full or partial monitoring of program code including:
·         Instruction set simulator, permitting complete instruction-level monitoring and trace facilities
·         Program animation, permitting step-by-step execution and conditional breakpoint at source level or in machine code
·         Code coverage reports
·        Formatted dump or symbolic debugging, tools allowing inspection of program variables on error or at chosen points
·        Automated functional GUI testing tools are used to repeat system-level tests through the GUI
·        Benchmarks, allowing run-time performance comparisons to be made
·        Performance analysis (or profiling tools) that can help to highlight hot spots and resource usage
Some of these features may be incorporated into an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
·        A regression testing technique is to have a standard set of tests, which cover existing functionality that results in persistent tabular data, and to compare pre-change data to post-change data, where there should not be differences, using a tool like diffkit. Differences detected indicate unexpected functionality changes or "regression".

API Testing With Selenium WebDriver

By
REST API Testing Framework We will be creating a simple Rest Testing Framework in Java and JUnit that could be used for any testing scenarios. Rest Testing Framework Overview The framework should be able to execute the basic REST operations (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) and perform the validations on the code, message, headers and body of the response. The completed code can be accessed from my  GitHub account   from where you can collect and make modifications based on your requirements. Design We will be having three classes for the framework (in package com.axatrikx.controller ) RestExecutor  : Performs the HTTP operations using Apache Http Client RestResponse  : A javabean class to hold our response values (code, message, headers, body) RestValidator  : Validates the response with the expected values The package  com.axatrikx.test  holds the test scripts. Note: I will be using ‘ json-server ‘ to f...
