SELENIUM TESTING
Selenium testing is done for web based application. Selenium testing uses software called Selenium has an attached tool to record or to have a play back for testing without learning scripting language called SELENIUM   IDE. With the use of Selenese (a test domain specific language), one can write test in programming languages such as Java, C#, Groovy, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby so that the test can be performed on the currently using(modern ) web browsers. Selenium can be installed on 
Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms.

Components of Selenium

1. Selenium IDE: Selenium IDE stands for integrated development environment (IDE) for selenium tests. It is installed as a Firefox add-on and allows all the tests to do recording, editing, and debugging. The old name of it was Selenium Recorder. The founder of Selenium-IDE is Shinya Kasatani
Has the ability of recording automatically which can be edited manually. Selenium IDE is used for recording the script.
2. Selenium client API: Programming languages such as Java, C#, Ruby, Python acts as an alternative to write tests in Selenese.

3. Selenium Remote Control is a JAVA written server .Automated tests for a web application can be written in any programming language using RC.

4. Selenium WebDriver: Selenium RC is comes before Selenium WebDriver. The work of it is to receive commands (from Selenium using client API) and send them to a browser. WebDriver is associated with a facility of starting browser on its own, no need to have a special server as it is needed in Selenium 1 to run the test.

Many different browsers get an interface by Selenium 1 whereas developers can create or develop their Domain Specific Language using Selenium2. An example of already existing DSL is Watir project in Ruby language.

5. Selenium Grid: Selenium Grid is developed for running browsers on remote machines. It makes one of the servers as hub, to whom, test contact for accessing browser instances. With the help of selenium grid, it is possible to run selenium test on different remote machines parallel. This results in distributing the load across different machines.

  Scope of Selenium Testing: Today Selenium Testing is being used widely. It is the first choice of automated testers   for testing web based applications.

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

By
The testers should catch the bugs in software that they’re testing. Testers should try to catch as several vital bugs as soon as possible. Catching the crucial bug earlier on Product-Life-Cycle can save the Projects from financial losses & mitigate the risks as compared for catching the same at a later stage in SDLC. Steps to hunt the bugs: Sometimes it’s useful to break the rules: The following test cases, which were predefined a tester can miss the bugs so it makes it impossible’s to provide the product i.e. 100 percent bug free. If you-follow pre-determined test cases you risks becoming blind to outside the bugs. A first secret is to check the functionality under the test. It’ll be an effective channel to discover the more bugs, because functionality is not generally covered by the test cases. Examine the patterns: You might have noticed that the bugs can be often met in the groups, one can call them-gregarious. The testing a new but the similar functionality...

Cross browser testing Tools

By
Cross Browser testing It is a process to test the web apps across multiple browsers. It involves the checking compatibility of the app across multiple web browsers & ensures that your web app’s works correctly across different web browsers. Tools for Cross Browser Testing Browser shots: The browser shots might be most exhaustive cross browser-testing tool that exists. Browser Shots includes all of most popular-browsers, like Firefox, Chrome, & Safari, along with the tons of another browser’s that might sound unfamiliar, like Sea Monkey, Flock, & Iceape. You can adjust the resolution, color-settings, & even Flash and JavaScript settings. Cross Browser Testing: It allows users to test their websites with over the hundred resolution or browser and Operating System combinations. This also has support to mobile web-browsers, which is crucial because the web traffic is making shift from the primarily desktop computer users to primarily mobile ...

Mobile Application Testing: Strategy for Development

By
There are a huge number of demands and lots of competitions in the mobile application industries. In that demands and competitions, the mobile application testing has become more important. The testing phase of the mobile application testing looks like evil between the creative process and excitement of new products in the market. According to the survey, “In US, on an average 2-3 hours per day people spends their time on smartphones and tablets. On that time, they spent 80% on mobile application and remaining 20% on web applications.” Few list of key factors for successful mobile application testing strategies are: Selection of Device for Testing : Before introducing the mobile application test activities, first select the devices for testing the application. Selection decision is very important because only devices can help to targets maximum numbers of the customers for accessing the application. There are two parts for device selection: §   Device Model ...
