In your tests you might encounter specialized popups, which are generated via Javascript, and which are called ‘user prompts’. These are very basic in functionality, and they come in three variants: an ‘alert’ which only displays an informational message and an ‘OK’ button; a ‘confirm’ which displays an informational message, together with an ‘OK’ and… Read More
When testing requires you to work with multiple open windows or tabs, Selenium is here to help. A new window or tab usually opens when a user clicks on a button or link which triggers the new page that loads to be open in a new window or tab. Whether it is a window or… Read More
So, now that you are an expert in writing CSS selectors to identify your WebElements (possible because of my older webinar on this topic), you want to write some new tests. You are inspecting the page you will test, identifying what WebElements you will need, and start writing the selectors. Once you have them, and… Read More
Read the article i wrote for the TestProject blog on general tips for why and how we can achieve clean code in our automation: https://blog.testproject.io/2020/04/22/clean-code-in-tests-what-why-and-how/
In case you haven’t already, read the article i wrote for QALead on how i prepare and test for releases: https://theqalead.com/topics/release-management-how-i-prepare-and-test-for-my-releases/. Enjoy.
Hi there. If you haven’t already, check out episode 33 of the Testers’ Island Discs podcast, that i am featured in: https://www.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/lessons/testers-island-discs-ep33-corina-pip . Great music and hot testing topics. Enjoy.
By now, following the previous two posts in this series, you have setup the methods that initialize a Chrome and a Firefox browser. In this post, you will see how to use System properties for easily switching the browser in tests.
In this second post of the ‘browser unaware Selenium tests’ series, i will show what the methods that start Chrome and Firefox look like, based on the selected OSs from the previous post.
In this blog post series, i want to show how i normally set up my browsers and my Selenium code, in order to enable writing ‘cross-OS’, ‘cross-browser’, ‘browser-unaware’ tests. What this means: my tests can run on any OS i set up seamlessly; each test can be run on multiple browsers seamlessly; the tests do… Read More
