I would not use the linktext here to find the element, as I would assume that the element should be there, no matter the language. Better look for an attribute that doesn't change with the language, like an Id or classname and create specific testcases to check if the correct language is used,

for example

@FindBy(id = "foo")
WebElement elm;

public boolean isLinkTextInCorrectLanguage(WebElement elm, String lang){
    return elm.getText().contains(lang);     
}

We are a software development company that is building a new web application. Part of our responsiveness test, we need to check how it would look like on iMac 21.5" and iMac 27".

Problem is, we don't have iMacs (or any screen with that size). What's the best way to tackle this challenge?

According to Wikipedia, Standard Deviation "is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values."

In performance testing context, it give some information about the consistency of the response time (RT). In your example, the average RT is 145, and Std Dev is 7.8, this means that 67% of the time, the RT was in the range of 141 and 149. (avg - SD/2, avg + SD/2) This is relatively consistent, when compared to some of your other data samples (example, that first one has a pretty wide range).

For performance testing, I prefer to use either the median, or better the 95th percentile point to characterize the performance. I find it easer to say "95% of our users see response within 16 seconds" rather than "the average response is 6.3 seconds with a Std Dev of 8.3 seconds" The former statement is usually easier for a wide range of stakeholders to understand.

Xpath Types

•Xpath using contains text

//div[contains(text(),'Sign up')]

•Xpath using text

//div[ (text()='Sign up')]

•Merge Xpath (combining two Xpaths together)

Xpath=(//input[@name='email'])[2]/div/div/a

•We can use multiple attributes inside the Xpaths

//input[@id='email'][@name='email']

•We can also use logical expressions like 'AND' 'OR' in an XPath expression

//input[@name='email' and @type='Phone']

//input[@name='email' or @type='Phone']

•Xpath using following, preceding

//table[@role='presentation']/following::input 

//table[@role='presentation']/following-sibling::input

//table[@role='presentation']/ preceding::input

//table[@role='presentation']/ preceding-sibling::input

Currently I have 3 web applications + multiple web services all housed under one project for test automation. I'm allowing people to run what they "need to execute" using the mvn cucumber tag options, passing in some arguments there.

Can someone help me with a better approach to this? the end goal is to just have some maven files that can be called and tests against a particular product are executed

Each product package has feature files/page objects/Step definitions inside of it and currently I am just heavily tagging up the .feature files and using maven arguments against the tags to run only what is necessary

1. You have "Action to be taken after a Sampler error" setting in Thread Group which defaults to Continue. Just change it to Stop and JMeter will automatically finish your test on first sampler failure.

   

2. Alternative option would be adding a JSR223 Assertion which would print current URL to stdout for information purposes and stop the test in case of failure. Example reference code would be something like:

   def success = SampleResult.isSuccessful() 
   println('Processing URL: ' + SampleResult.getUrlAsString() + '. Successful: ' + success)
   
   if (!success) {
       println('Failure, stopping test')   
       SampleResult.setStopTest(true)  
   }

I've been working as a manual QA for a couple of years.

I want to get an automation position. I took Java courses at a local college, I practiced, I learned Selenium, and I'm fairly confident I can pass the interview and do the job.

Unfortunately, to pass an interview, you first need to get invited to one, which is where I'm having trouble. I understand why people are reluctant to interview me as I have no experience, but what can I do?

There is no chance of me doing automation at my current job, and I really want to avoid taking another manual tester job with the 'perspective of doing automation later'. That's what my current job was supposed to be, but ended up being a purely manual position.

I would appreciate any honest advice/opinion.

I have create a feature file and step definition file, to execute by test cases using behave (BDD ), but i am facing one error, when i execute the feature file, Please find below to check by code :-

first_behave.feature

Feature: My First behave feature

  Scenario: Add two numbers
    Given : I have two integers a and b
    When : I add the Numbers
    Then : I print the addition result```


<p>environement.py</p>

from selenium import webdriver

def before_all(context):
print("Executing before all")

def before_feature(context, feature):
print("Before feature\n")

#Scenario level objects are popped off context when scenario exits
def before_scenario(context,Scenario):
context.browser = webdriver.Chrome()
print("Before scenario\n")

def after_scenario(context,scenario):
context.browser.quit()
print("After scenario\n")

def after_feature(context,feature):
print("\nAfter feature")

def after_all(context):
print("Executing after all")```

first_behave.py

from behave import *
use_step_matcher("re")

@given("I have two integers a and b")
def step_impl(context):
    context.a = 1
    context.b = 2


@when("I add the Numbers")
def step_impl(context):
    context.sum = int(context.a) + int(context.b)


@then("I print the addition result")
def step_impl(context):
    print("Sum of", context.a, "and", context.b, "is: ", context.sum

and below is the error, i am facing:

[0806/114406.139:ERROR:gl_surface_egl.cc(690)] eglInitialize D3D9 failed with er ror EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED [0806/114406.140:ERROR:gl_initializer_win.cc(240)] GLSurfaceEGL::InitializeOneOf f failed.

Please help me to solve this error.

Found out solution for my question. It is not with selenium webdriver. With webinject(http://webinject.org) tool.

Sample snippet from testcase.xml:

<testcases repeat="1">

 <case
   id="1"
   description1="test 404 page"
   description2="Follow redirect"
   method="post"
   url="http://localhost/test"
   verifyresponsecode="200"
   parseresponse="Location:|\n"
   errormessage="Custom File not found"
/>
</testcases>

I am migrating my test cases from TestRail to Zephyr. In TestRail, their are folders, sub-folders upto 4 levels. Each folder level have test cases.
While migrating to Zephyr(Jira Tool), we have 4 options to add the test cases: Test Category, Test Plan, Test Group and Test (in the same chronological order).

Is there any correct way for how to categorize the test cases based on the available option?
