103. What is Database Testing?

It is AKA back-end testing or data testing.

Database testing involves in verifying the integrity of data in the
front end with the data present in the back end. It validates the
schema, database tables, columns, indexes, stored
procedures, triggers, data duplication, orphan records, junk records.
It involves in updating records in a database and verifying the same
on the front end.

104. What is the difference between GUI Testing and

Database Testing?

 GUI Testing is AKA User Interface Testing or Front-end testing

Database Testing is AKA back-end testing or data testing.
 GUI Testing deals with all the testable items that are open to
the user to interaction such as Menus, Forms etc.
Database Testing deals with all the testable items that are
generally hidden from the user.
 The tester who is performing GUI Testing doesn’t need to know
Structured Query Language
The tester who is performing Database Testing needs to know
Structured Query Language
 GUI Testing includes invalidating the text boxes, check boxes,
buttons, drop-downs, forms etc., majorly the look and feel of
the overall application
Database Testing involves in verifying the integrity of data in
the front end with the data present in the back end. It validates
the schema, database tables, columns, indexes, stored

Can any one please help me with this? I have application, for this no KT session or FS are provided,
So now i have taken bottom-top approach, by writing the system testcase using the application. But
my TL told me to write regression testcase. What i understood about regression testcase is that-For
one scenrio or testcase multiple data, So testing the same scanario with different multiple data. Is
this right or Wrong?

20. Boundary value analysis

Boundary value analysis is a variant and refinement of equivalence partitioning with two major differences:

First, rather than selecting any element in equivalence class as being representative, elements are selected such
that each edge of EC is the subject of a test. Boundaries are always a good place to look for defects.

Secondly, rather than focusing exclusively on input conditions, output conditions are also explored by defining
output EC’s. What can be output? What are the classes of output? What should I create as an input to force a
useful set of classes that represent the outputs that ought to be produced?

The guidelines for boundary value analysis are:

 If an input specifies a range of valid values, write test cases for the ends of the range and invalid input
test cases for conditions just beyond the ends. Example: If the input requires a real number in the
range 0.0 to 90.0 degrees, then write test cases for 0.0,90.0,-.001 and 00.001.
  If an input specifies a number of valid values, write test cases for the minimum and maximum
number of values and one beneath and beyond these values. Example: if the input requires the titles
of at least 3, but no more than 8 books, then write test cases for 2, 3, 8, and 9 books.
 Use the above guidelines for each output condition.


 Design, document, develop and execute automation test cases, supplemented by manual
test cases as necessary.
 Evaluating and understand the current state of testing and driving change to increase test
automation and improve our overall testing practices.
 Overseeing and directing the test development processes including designs, reviews,
implementations, and test execution.
 Continuously improving testing methodology, best practices, and standards to provide
consistent testing across products.
 Working closely with infra teams to build and maintain testing infrastructure and tooling
periodically reviewing how our test strategy aligns with the latest technology.
 Clearly log, track, and communicate the issues.
 Perform Functional, Regression and Acceptance tests.

 Actions are commands that generally manipulate the state of the

application. They do things like “click this link” and “select that
option”. If an Action fails, or has an error, the execution of the current
test is stopped.

Many Actions can be called with the “AndWait” suffix, e.g.

“clickAndWait”. This suffix tells Selenium that the action will cause the
browser to make a call to the server, and that Selenium should wait
for a new page to load.

 Accessors examine the state of the application and store the results
in variables, e.g. “storeTitle”. They are also used to automatically
generate Assertions.
 Assertions are like Accessors, but they verify that the state of the
application conforms to what is expected. Examples include “make
sure the page title is X” and “verify that this checkbox is checked”.
 All Selenium Assertions can be used in 3 modes: “assert”, “verify”, and
” waitFor”. For example, you can “assertText”, “verifyText” and
“waitForText”. When an “assert” fails, the test is aborted. When a
“verify” fails, the test will continue execution, logging the failure. This
allows a single “assert” to ensure that the application is on the correct
page, followed by a bunch of “verify” assertions to test form field
values, labels, etc.

“waitFor” commands wait for some condition to become true (which

can be useful for testing Ajax applications). They will succeed
immediately if the condition is already true. However, they will fail and
halt the test if the condition does not become true within the current
timeout setting (see the setTimeout action below).

Importing Sel2.0 Project into IntelliJ Using Maven

We are currently working on this appendix. The information provided here is
accurate, although it may not be finished.

In this appendix we provide the steps, including screen captures, showing

how to create a Selenium 2.0 java client-driver project in IntelliJ IDEA.
These steps assume you have already used maven with a pom.xml file to set
up the project. This process is described in the Selenium 2.0 chapter. You
must have followed that process before you can perform these steps. This
appendix then shows you how to import the maven-created Selenium 2.0
java project into IntelliJ.

First, open IntelliJ and from the entry page, click Create New Project.
 As we develop features in the Firefox Driver, we expose the ability to use
them. For example, until we feel native events are stable on Firefox for Linux,
they are disabled by default. To enable them: Firefox Driver
Controls the Firefox browser using a Firefox plugin. The Firefox Profile that is
used is stripped down from what is installed on the machine to only include
the Selenium WebDriver.xpi (plugin). A few settings are also changed by
default (see the source to see which ones) Firefox Driver is capable of being
run and is tested on Windows, Mac, Linux. Currently on versions 3.6, 10,
latest - 1, latest

Usage

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();

profile.setEnableNativeEvents(true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Info
See the Firefox section in the wiki page for the most up to date info.

Internet Explorer Driver

The InternetExplorerDriver is a standalone server which implements
WebDriver’s wire protocol. This driver has been tested with IE 7, 8, 9, 10,
and 11 on appropriate combinations of Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and
Windows 8.1. As of 15 April 2014, IE 6 is no longer supported.

The driver supports running 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the browser. The
choice of how to determine which “bit-ness” to use in launching the browser
depends on which version of the IEDriverServer.exe is launched. If the 32-
bit version of IEDriverServer.exe is launched, the 32-bit version of IE will be
launched. Similarly, if the 64-bit version of IEDriverServer.exe is launched,
the 64-bit version of IE will be launched.

Where can I find a full test automation

project with Selenium WebDriver?
21:43 Posted by Alex Siminiuc 11 Comments

You have been learning test automation with Selenium.

You went through lots of concepts and would like to see how they all work together.

Where can you find a project that uses everything you learned and more?

Here :)

What follows is a small project that I built a while ago for a job interview.

It uses many test automation concepts such as:

 page factory
 base classes
 html classes
 test listeners
 test ng assertions and fixtures
 annotations
 custom locators (javascript and jquery)
 screenshots
 saving errors in text files
The exercise consisted in automating the following test case with Java and Selenium WebDriver:

 Launch bestbuy url (www.bestbuy.ca)

 Search a product and add it to cart
 Go all the way through checkout process and place the order with invalid credit card
 Capture the error message due to invalid credit card

Before downloading the project and checking the source code, a few details about the project.

Project details

Maven project
- all dependencies are managed through the pom.xml file

Test NG
- unit testing library

Java JDK 8
- used for lambda expressions and streams

Page Factory
- pattern for creating page object and page fragment classes
- the elements of page object/fragment classes have names and locators
 - names and locators are implemented using annotations
- available locator types are id, xpath, css, name and javascript
view source he biggest change in Selenium recently has been the inclusion of
the WebDriver API. Driving a browser natively as a user would either locally
or on a remote machine using the Selenium Server it marks a leap forward
in terms of browser automation.

Selenium WebDriver fits in the same role as RC did, and has incorporated
the original 1.x bindings. It refers to both the language bindings and the
implementations of the individual browser controlling code. This is commonly
referred to as just "WebDriver" or sometimes as Selenium 2.

Selenium 1.0 + WebDriver = Selenium 2.0

 WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise programming
interface along with addressing some limitations in the Selenium-RC
API.
 WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when compared to
Selenium1.0
 It drives the browser much more effectively and overcomes the
limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected our functional test coverage,
like the file upload or downloa
