When it comes to using WebDriverWait to wait for WebElement properties,like text or attributes, when sending WebElements as properties generated via PageFactory, that will work properly. However when using ‘driver.findElement()’ to identify the WebElements required as parameters in the WebDriverWaits, that will fail. Here is the reason why. Continue reading How WebDriverWait works differently for WebElements defined by driver.findElement versus PageFactory initialization
Context: you have a folder containing some files. You need to find all the files whose name contains some expected value in this folder and all its’ sub-folders. Or you need to find all files with a specified extension in the folder. Maybe you need to count how many files with a specified size are found in the folder. How can you do these tasks easily? Continue reading Find files inside a folder in your automated test
Naming is one of those underrated things when it comes to test automation code. Many times, when you look at variable or even test method names, they are not very suggestive and you have a hard time figuring out what their purpose is. In this post you will find a few reasons why it is important to name things properly, and some tips about how to find the good names your code deserves. Continue reading Better Test Code Principles: Use proper naming, for everything
Once you have a regression suite set up, you will need to run it. When you have a smaller number of tests that need to be run on a specified day, that won’t be a problem, and the tests will successfully finish running within the allocated time period. However, as the suite becomes larger and larger, so does the amount of time required to run all the tests. In some cases, you can even get beyond a 24-hour test run. So, what can you do to optimize the test run time? You can use two strategies: parallelize and split. Continue reading The Automated Regression Suite. Part 3 of 3. How to run the suite
