Road to create and execute Calabash Android test for beginner

In my previous post I have written how to setup calabash android and how to find element locator details using calabash console. In this post I will show you how to create calabash android test. Also I will show you, how to generate report.

Steps to write scenario:
After running command >> calabash-android gen   calabash-android automatically generates cucumber skeleton folder-structure. Now you write cucumber test scenario for your application test scenario into created “my_first.feature” file as written below:

Road to data driven testing in webdriver java TestNg Part 1

In this post I am going to see you, how to perform data driven testing in java webdriver. In this post I read data from external excel file and use those data in test script.
For this I use java “poi” jar file to read excel file. Using poi java library I created below java class to read data from excel file and return data as a array list.

Open source automation tools for mobile automation.

Following are the some open source automation tools for the mobile application

Road to clear input filed using sikuli java

In this post in am going to explain, how to clear input fields value using sikuli with java. As Sikuli does not provide any function to clear input field.
To clear input fields value, I use sikuli and java Robot class. First I click on input field using sikuli click() function then I use java Robot class to clear input filed. Below is code.

Robot robot = new Robot();

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A);

robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SLASH);

Using above approach and code,  I clear any input field with sikuli.

Road to apply assertions in jmeter wsdl web services.

Assertion or verification is important in testing, by using this we can ensure that our testing is going in right direction. Suppose we sent a request to server and get some response but here how we ensure whether we are getting correct response or not. So by using assertion we can ensure for correct response at run time, if response is not correct then test will fail for that request.

In my previous post, I posted “http://roadtoautomation.blogspot.com/2013/05/road-to-jmeter-data-driven-testing-of.html”, today I continue from that post so you need to read previous post before this.

Road to Jmeter data driven testing of wsdl web services.

Data driven testing is play most important roles in testing, it means that Jmeter test execute with a set of values pass from external files. In this post, I am going to explain the way to perform data driven testing in Jmeter soap request.

Before reading this blog you must read my previous post “Road to Jmeter test of wsdl web services.”

You need to put all your data in csv file as in my case I put data in csv file separated with comma and saved file in my system. Below is the csv data format:

Road to Jmeter test of wsdl web services.

In this post, I am going to explain how to create jmeter test for wsdl api testing to perform load testing. Before creating test you need following set up in your machine.

Set Up:

1. Download and setup java path in your system environment path. 
2. Download and install Jmeter.
3. Download and install soapUI.
