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

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 fake the REST API. Its a real handy tool to r

ExtentReports in Selenium Webdriver

ExtentReports in Selenium Webdriver What is ExtentReport? ExtentReports is a HTML reporting library for Selenium WebDriver for Java which is extremely easy to use and creates beautiful execution reports. It shows test and step summary, test steps and status in a toggle view for quick analysis Download Download the jar below: Download ExtentReports 1.4 (1623) Snapshot of Extent report After Executing the Script Program Steps: We are going to write three different testcases.

How to Compare Two Images in Selenium

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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 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 . get
