There is much information to be found about these problems.

There are tools to generate combinations based on possible inputs, they try to help you to limit the total number but keep a representative 'coverage'. See here: http://www.pairwise.org/ for more information. I have used PICT and Hexawise in the past to generate combinational choices for testing.

If you want to dive deeper into this field, Cem Kaner has published a book about it: The Domain Testing Workbook

Whether it is "enough" is always a choice

I use Page object pattern with Page Factory in selenium Webdriver with Java (as language).

Will my inputSearch variable be still referencing to the same webelement on page, after refreshing the respective page?

@FindBy(id = "inputSearch")
private WebElement inputSearch;

If it's possible to automate, how to identify the elements on this Webview?

I have used the Appium Inspector to find the selector. This gave me an XPATH selector that, while slow, worked well enough. This is unlike switching context to the WebView in a hybrid app.

I have tried over and over again to get the Internet Explorer Driver to bypass bad cert errors in WebDriver. Currently I do this:

driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById(‘overridelink’).click()");  

And it works just fine. But it's slow. I read everywhere that I could add in my DesiredCapabilities this:

caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);

But it doesn't work. I've tried several other solutions too. Is this just outdated, and no longer works in IE11? Had anybody found a current solution to this? Thanks!

I'm working with a project and I'm planning to use Specflow and Selenium C#. I'm new with using Specflow (SpecFlow is the open source port of Cucumber for .NET) for automation and I'm going to use it for regression testing of an existing website. I'm just curious if a single feature file should cover all the regression test cases or would it be better to create a feature per tab?

I'm just concern with code duplication as creating a featue per tab would share the same background of "Given that I'm on the web page".

Our current manual test steps look like this:

1. Patient Info Tab

   • Edit Patient Info
   • Update Contact Preferences

2. Physician Verification Tab

   • Physician Search
   • Edit Physician Info

Taking into account the given HTML, relying on a byt-start-time class should work:

var startTime = $(".byt-start-time");
startTime.getText().then(console.log);

Simple said to describe deference between Frame and Forms, is Frames are a sub-Window from main browser, so to handle objects inside we have to switch driver to this window. But Form is an organizing control to group HTML controls.

see Ref : https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_frame.asp

Locate Object in a Frame: 1- Define an object for the frame control. 2- switch the driver to this frame. 3- start finding and dealing with the elements inside the frame. 4- close the frame after finishing. 5- switch the driver again to the default content after closing the frame.

General Example Selenium/C# :

public IWebDriver Driver;
public IWebElement GeneralFrame;
Driver.SwitchTo().Frame(GeneralFrame); 

/*
locate your test objects by using findelment functions and deal with them.
after that make sure to close the frame.
then switch to default content.
*/

Driver.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();

I know the best bet in this situation is for the testers to go through the process of reporting blocking-type problems initially show up, with the focus being on critical bugs. Since, this type of problem can high severely affect on schedules and indicates deeper problems in the software development process.

This situation will occur due to insufficient unit testing or insufficient integration testing, poor design, improper build or release procedures, etc. These are the major reasons.

What are the other steps which we have to follow as a QA if the software is so buggy?

I am trying to click on a tab - a rather simple task.But, I get the error message above. I have added a thread.sleep command - in case it is due to synchronization issues. Your help is highly appreciated:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace CV_Lib_Do_Not_Use
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Instantiate Firefox Driver
            //Go to CV Library Website
            var driver = new FirefoxDriver();
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.cv-library.co.uk/");

            //Wait for web element to become visible
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15000);


            //Click on Search Jobs tab
            driver.FindElement(By.XPath(".//*[@id='header-nav-new']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/a")).Click();

        }
    }
}

I have checked previous errors from:

Selenium webdriver - Unable to locate element,xpath,error

Selenium Webdriver | Unable to locate element error

The solutions were not helpful.

Couple of items from my side:

1. Thread safe classes to be able to safely parallellize test execution
2. Working with database (at least relational database) (Tools for injecting and reading the data from/to databases)
3. Parsing xml since there could be scenario steps or steps data described in xml
4. Parsing text using regular expressions since it often happens that one need to extract a part of the string or match the string using certain rules
5. Use matchers like hamcrest
6. Use JavascriptExecutor from Selenium
7. Have mastered both Page Object Model approach and the regular approach
8. Have mastered practices of conversion one objects into another
9. Have mastered practices of serializing and de-serializing the objects
