Selenium - 1

Selenium

 



  • Selenium is a very popular name in the software testing field which is known as an automation testing tool. 
  • Mainly selenium uses to automate the testing of various web browsers. It supports many browsers such as,
    1. Chrome
    2. Mozilla
    3. Firefox
    4. Safari
    5. IE
Advantages of Selenium
  • Selenium is an open-source tool.
  • Selenium supports various programming languages to write Test scripts such as,
    • java
    • C#
    • Perl
    • Python
    • PHP
    • Ruby

  • It supports various operating systems,
    1. MS Windows
    2. Linux
    3. Macintosh

  • Selenium uses less Hardware resources.

  • Selenium supports Parallel Test Execution.

Disadvantages of Selenium

1) No reliable Technical Support from anybody.

(Since It is Open Source software nobody provides reliable technical support, if it is UFT/QTP Vendor (HP) provides Technical Support)

2) It supports Web-based applications only.

(Selenium automates Web browsers only, using Selenium we can automate Computer Web Applications and Mobile Web Apps, but Selenium doesn’t support Computer Desktop Applications, Mobile Native Applications, and Mobile Hybrid Applications.)

3) Difficult to use, takes more time to create Test cases.

(Selenium WebDriver (A powerful tool in Selenium’s Tool suite) has a Programming interface only, no IDE, so we have to write steps for each and every task which take more time.

If it is UFT/QTP has a Programming interface as well as IDE, we can Tool features (Ex: Recording, Checkpoints, Data Table, etc…) and VBScript features (Ex: Conditional statements, Loop Statements, Functions, etc…) to create Tests/Test Scripts.)

4) Difficult to Setup Test Environment when compares to Vendor Tools like UFT, RFT, SilkTest, etc…

(Selenium uses various tools and plug-ins to support Test Automation, we need to configure them manually if it vendor tool like UFT/QTP we just download and install the tool (all required components were integrated by the vendor))

5) Limited support for Image Testing.

6 New features may not work properly.

(Since it is open source software nobody is responsible for new features usage, they may or may not work properly, it is a vendor tool (Ex: UFT or RFT or SilkTest), and the vendor is responsible for new features usage.)

7) No Test Tool integration for Test Management.

(No Tool available in Selenium’s Tool suite to support Test Management, we have to choose any tool from the market, If it is UFT, ALM is there for integration of Project/Test Management tasks.)

8) No Built-in Reporting facility

Angular 6 - Data Binding Part 2

Image
 Data Binding - 2 Event Binding Event binding used to build interactive angular applications with the flow of data from component to the element and from element to component . Event binding syntax will have a target event name within parentheses on the left of an equal sign, and a quoted template statement on the right. Eg 1: In this example I used a button to demonstrate the event binding. In here we are binding an onClick() event to the button element. When the user clicks on the button, event binding listens to the button's click event and calls the component's onClick() method in component.ts file. Eg:2  . In here there is  a method named "onUpdateServerName" and add an event with it.

Machine Learning

Machine Learning  What is  Machine Learning? "Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to effectively perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence." In traditional programming, we feed a set of instructions for a defined set of scenarios to the computer. Then the computer will utilize its computing capabilities to help human process the data efficiently. In machine learning, a large amount of data is input into the computer. Then computer processes all the data and comes up with a trained model(solution). After this model is used to solve the unseen problems of the real world. Applications of  Machine Learning Machine Learning has started growing fast because nowadays we have less expensive computational power and lots of data which we can use the train our models.
