APIs are naturally part of SDKs. It is how you interface with code in libraries (jars, dlls, etc). When I worked on a library/package, I just had to write functional tests that used the library/package.

SDKs however are installable packages so there is also testing that goes along with that. When I worked on an installable toolbar we had to test the installation against many different Operating Systems. We also had to test it against many anti-virus vendors to address false-positives. There's also testing if the install is interrupted, or checking the background process for memory leaks.

This is the how my HTML looks like:

    <tr>
     <td class = 'text-bar'> id </td>
      <td>
        <input type="checkbox" size = "20" value= 'Yes' id ="x_id1">
      </td>
    </tr>
  .
  .
  .

I have 19 checkboxes and I want to select checkboxes in-between.

what would be the easiest way to achieve that:

My current code looks like this which selects all the checkboxes right now. How do i add if condition to select particular checkboxes in-between ??:

checkboxes = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("input[type='checkbox']")
    for checkbox in checkboxes:
        if not checkbox.is_selected():
            checkbox.click()
            time.sleep(1)

Appreciate your help..

I usually estimate the test execution time in a sprint by identifying the test scenarios related to requirements. (Test case point analysis)

1. Is there any techniques that we can use for estimate the time for execution of one particular testcase? (As all test cases will not have same set of steps and will take different time.)

2. Is there a technique which receives highly accurate estimate that we can use for preparation of testcases? (Currently I estimate the time for testcases preparation by my past experiences.)

In addition to reading Working Effectively with Legacy Code, I have a few recommendations from experience:

• Since there is little to no documentation, tour the software. Go through the software using it as if you were a user, noting what it does and what you can find about why it works the way it does.
• Talk to long-time users. Since this is internal software, you should be able to locate people who have been using it for a long time. They will be able to tell you more about what they expect from it.
• Talk to developers. Where you can, talk to the people who built the software. They will have information about why it's designed the way it is.
• Focus on functionality first. As internal software, there will be assumptions baked in: users will know what they are doing, so the UI does not have to be intuitive, there isn't a need for comprehensive help, appearance matters less than function, small bugs that don't interfere with function are acceptable, that kind of thing. This will help you to prioritize your testing.
• Create documentation as you work. This is something I've found immensely helpful when dealing with large, poorly documented applications. My documentation may never reach the standard expected for user-facing documentation, but it is generally enough to help developers and other testers deal with the complexities of the application. The format is up to you - choose whatever works best for the way you work, but make sure you tie it in to your test cases when you create them.
• Focus on learning the application. Test cases will come as you learn where the critical areas of the application are and how the modules fit together. If you focus on learning the application first, your test cases will be more focused on key functionality.

I want to test a shopping website, a portal where users can view/filter products (clothes, shoes, etc) the actual buying happens somewhere else, it's kind of an aggregator. [The website is UI heavy - Angular]

I want to test this on multiple mobile devices + browser combinations, of course doing it manually on physical devices is not feasible. I have tried the tool called 'CrossBrowserTesting' and I must say it's very slow and will take an eternity for anyone to perform testing. The second option is BrowserStack, but I am not really sure which product of BrowserStack can be bought. Do we have 'record and replay' kind of a setting with BrowserStack where I perform the manual tests on any one specific device and all those tests can be replayed on another set of devices [under BrowserStack ecosystem] or anything else which can reduce the efforts and increase the coverage [for devices + browsers]

We are also developing the UI automation using Behave + Python and so far we have successfully automated our smoke test suite [Regression is in progress], can we also use the existing selenium scripts with BrowserStack [ I know the answer is YES but this will only cover different browsers and not mobile devices, I guess]

Any inputs here will be really helpful, looking forward to the same

Not able to pass Response Header (Set-Cookie value) to another request Body in order to place a reservation.

To place a reservation i need to get HoldReservation cookie from Reservedate API but when getting all cookies in Beanshell postprosessor and sending it to Beanshell preprosessor is not helping.

I have Cookie Manager at Thread level but that is not getting this cookie that is generated in the middle of the execution.

I want to get just the HoldReservation and expires from the below Cookie: Set-Cookie: HoldReservation=; expires=Thu, 15-Apr-2021 17:40:20 GMT; path=/; secure

I need to click on the dropdown list of items that are hidden and only the list visible once we click on the particular search box.

HTML TAG:

<div class="main-search_suggestions suggestions-list-container search-suggestions-list-container hidden" data-component-bound="true">
   <ul class="suggestions-list" role="listbox" aria-label="Search results">
       <li class="item suggestion suggestions-list-item " role="option" tabindex="0" aria-label="category" data-suggestion-type="category" data-param-type="find_desc" data-suggest-query="Restaurants" data-ajax-data="null">
       <li class="item suggestion suggestions-list-item " role="option" tabindex="0" aria-label="category" data-suggestion-type="category" data-param-type="find_desc" data-suggest-query="Universities" data-ajax-data="null">
       <li class="item suggestion suggestions-list-item " role="option" tabindex="0" aria-label="category" data-suggestion-type="category" data-param-type="find_desc" data-suggest-query="Hospitals" data-ajax-data="null">
       <li class="item suggestion suggestions-list-item " role="option" tabindex="0" aria-label="category" data-suggestion-type="category" data-param-type="find_desc" data-suggest-query="Hotels" data-ajax-data="null">
      </li>
   </ul>
</div>

from the above Html how to click those lists of items with either XPath/tag_name/class_name in python selenium based on the index value ?.

EDIT: (My code)

   def vendor_list():
    zipcode = (str(input("enter the zipcode:")))
    driver = open_driver_connection()
    print("Openning")
    driver.get('URL OF MY WEB PAGE')
    zipcode_value = driver.find_element_by_id('dropperText_Mast')
    zipcode_value.clear()
    zipcode_value.send_keys(zipcode)
    service_box = WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,"find_desc"))).click()
    drop_down = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[@id='header_find_form']/div/div[1]/div/div/ul/li") 
    for lists in drop_down: 
        lists.click()
        time.sleep(1)

I want to click a link on a page but they all have similar hrefs

This works for clicking the first link

Code: await executeScript("document.querySelector('a[href*="/p/"]').click()");

How do I click the 10th link?

It looks like there's a package missing which is required to run Chromium or JX Browser in order to execute your script successfully.

The missing library is libX11.so.6.

You can install this in Debian system with this command,

sudo apt-get install libx11-6 -y

You can also look up other necessary package names by typing the below line in your terminal and then hitting the tab key a couple of times.

sudo apt-get install libx11-

Check the listed packages and then install the once you require.

You can also use this command to install few other packages that might be required,

sudo apt-get install gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget

Then try to execute your code.

For other OS types, you can find the required packages name here.

When Criteria_1 extends base, why you are instantiating base class? Your application needs advance code review. Why you are defining a static driver in your test class is another question...

Anyway you should use ITestContext to store driver in the context and then use that context with getCTX method with annotation @BeforeClass in the test class in order to get the value of the driver and use it in the factory page.
