Without testing the APIs themselves, developers and testers would be stuck waiting for the entire application stack to be assembled before they can run the test.

API testing is a type of software testing, including direct API testing, and also as a part of integration testing to check whether the API meets the application's functional, reliability, performance, and security expectations.

API testing focuses on analyzing business logic and protecting applications and responding to data requests.

The testing API differs from other types of software tests in that a graphical user interface is not available, however, you need to set up a source environment that calls the API with the required parameters and validates the test result.

Get to know us more at https://www.fleekitsolutions.com/    API testing, by comparison to UI testing, can typically save up to eight hours - allowing developers to release products faster - confirms that the performance, functionality, security, and reliability of the application are working as expected - Our QA engineers can help your team through the API testing process to ensure that your software application is deployed to a production environment successfully every time.

When testing APIs, test cases for each endpoint or group of endpoints that are intended to work together (ie functional flow such as logon) can be developed to ensure that the API works as expected for possible known input configurations.

Which is better – An in-house QA or an external QA?Companies have tried the in-house QA route for years.

Imagine a judge who is a regular guest at an accused’s or prosecutor’s dinner parties, could you be confident that his adjudication of an impending court case would be impartial?

Similarly, software tests should always be performed by a dedicated and independent testing team that are not biased by the external factors which may affect the outcome of the testing.Benefits of having independent software testingExternal QA and Independent software testing bring the upside of a committed testing group sans the difficulties of keeping up such a group.

Let us a gander at a portion of the primary focal points.Quality of TestingAn independent testing group gives an unbiased, outsider perspective on the product prompting proficient and uninfluenced (suspicion free) testing that meets client desires.

Independent testers stick carefully to the client’s objectives and targets and are safe to the management pressure.Less management effortWith an independent testing group, the issue of recruiting and preparing testers is wiped out.

Management needs not to stress over managing surplus staff.

Testing and validating REST services in Java is harder than in dynamic languages such as Ruby and Groovy.

REST Assured brings the simplicity of using these languages into the Java domain.Our testing framework integrates the Rest Assured library with Java project along with other essentials like TestNG framework, logging, reporting, etc.

You can kick-off any rest-assured java project using this framework easily.Technology and plugins usedThis framework uses the following technology stack :Java – As a general coding language for writing test cases and methods.Rest Assured – This is the library that is used to make server requests and fetch responses and process the response for analyzing and assertions.http://rest-assured.io/TestNG – TestNG library is used as a testing framework to manage and execute test cases/suites.https://testng.org/doc/Log4J – Log4J library is used for generating the project logs.https://logging.apache.org/log4j/Allure – Allure is a plugin used to generate beautiful test reports.http://allure.qatools.ru/Maven – Maven plugin is used to manage the project dependencies.http://allure.qatools.ru/Eclipse – As an IDE, eclipse has been used.https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/Project StructureOur testing framework project consists of the following classes :Test.java.ApiTest.java – This is the java class where all the test cases are written that need to be executed.

This java class should only contain the call to relevant test methods and the assertions.Test.resources.ApiData.java – With this java class, we define all the test data that we need like API endpoints, query parameters, methods to call each API endpoint, etc.

It is meant only for defining the test data and methods.Test.resources.ApiMethods.java – This java class primarily consists of two methods.

log.debug("Sending the post request to the API");

Instead, there are many different ways we can help you get your software tested and on the market.

Automation Software testing outsourcing and testing: Automation testing management, service, and services for automated and non-automated software, software, and operations.

Automation Testing Software tests and analysis are often applied to support production tests that run at a home, office, and or out of a company's control.

Automation testers use the Automation Data Pipeline Analysis API in the Production Software development environment to automatically analyze, analyze, and analyze multiple production systems, including the software running on production equipment, hardware, and software.

For example, for software testing software that runs on the Internet, the Automation Data Pipeline Analysis API allows users to perform a test to assess whether a software issue is caused by software issues.Automation Testing Data Pipeline Analysis is software used to automatically analyze software issue reports that occur over time and provide an estimate of the number of issues involved.

It provides the Automation Testing Data Pipeline Analysis API with data to help diagnose, predict, and address problems related to software issues which may be identified by analyzing, monitoring and determining the effect of software issues in development or test testing facilities.

Automation testing is not magic, but we are no less than a magician!

With the increasing demand for agility in software development life cycle, test automation has become an integral part of the process.

Automation testing helps automate highly repetitive test scenarios to provide testing coverage on critical business processes, increase efficiency & reliability and reduce manual laborious efforts.

Automation testing definitely helps to save cost and time by shortening the test cycle, improving test coverage and optimizing resource utilization Automation testing services are not a magic, automating functionality of a software is an art that requires the degree of expertness along with the level of experience to build the most stable, efficient and robust frameworks.

As a tech person who found flutter in his portfolio of technology, the most common question I get is that testing automation engineers didn’t know that flutter is not supported by appium, how can they write tests for it, how can they automate testing with it?

So I’ll share some insight on how we can use a practical example to check flutter applications with appium-flutter-driver.Setting Up ProjectAs Flutter did not use native components, it means you need to specify keys to make your widgets accessible to the appium-flutter-driver (also for standard flutter tests).Take note!

Your test apk must be either the “debug” or the “profiling” package.To read more, click on the link below-https://www.fleekitsolutions.com/automating-flutter-app-appium-flutter-driver/

How to use webdriverIO with Javascript?Before starting how to use webdriverIO, you should have knowledge of why we use webdriverIO and what exactly it is .

so let’s understand it.Why WebdriverIO?There are so many tools and frameworks that are used in Automation But If you are working on a front end site in automation testing, I’ll highly recommend you go with WebdriverIO.

Following are some reasons:Known for Simple accessible :It has simple and easy to write syntax.

The command which is used in  WebdriverIO tests is very concise, easily understandable and to the point.For Example, If I want to click on something(Web element) then, With A regular selenium webdriver you have to write “find element” by its name, id, CSS, partial text or XPath to locate that element and then you will be able to perform an action upon that element.

That means Instead of writing this.driver.find_element_by_id(“sbmtBtn”);We can just write this:client.click(‘sbmtBtn’)   So if it’s a CSS, partial text, id or XPath It can unravel for itself.

There are also other selenium based tools out there but You should have knowledge about Python, Ruby or Java.

This has the capability to automate client and server-side operations.

Cypress can collect data from different sources and upload it to any data store and database through the REST interface.

This supports all layers of testing including objects, servers, networks, services, databases, servers, and interfaces.

It has features like command pattern locators, HTML locators, text locators, DOM locators, XPath locators, attribute selectors, etc.

Cypress is a reliable tool for the automated stage and production testing so you can focus on your product.

Our automation REST API makes adding Agile reporting to your application a breeze, without requiring any custom coding.

Are you confused about which framework to start within python?Let’s understand what these frameworks are and how to choose between them with their usage.Robot FrameworkRobot Framework is an open-source, keyword-driven test automation framework for Acceptance Testing and Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD).

A keyword-driven test approach means capabilities implemented in python can be extended by its test libraries.Acceptance Testing with Robot Framework:The test cases in Robot Framework are user-oriented and are not too technical.

That is, it has an easy-to-use syntax for test data that allows you to automate tests using keywords.Acceptance Test-Driven Development:Acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) is an important agile practice merging requirement gathering with acceptance testing.

It is simple enough so that also non­-programmers can create and understand test cases.

Why Robot Framework?This framework is mostly used as a less technical skill is required as compared to programming-language based frameworks Therefore, Can be used by team members that have less experience in programming.For example, Product owners could express acceptance tests using the framework, without having to know the details of how the product is implemented.Also, a well experienced technical person can also write keywords in their language of choice to test small functions as for unit testing and integration testing.Some brief useful points for Robot Framework:Because of its keyword-driven approach, Robot Framework can be used to test the following application:a.

Mobile applications, and SOAP-based services.It is possible to write tests that work cross-platform (ie: the same test case can be used to test both an android and iOS application, or for testing a web application that can be executed on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari).One of the great strengths of the robot framework is that it is highly extensible.For example:a.

In real life, there are many situations when you have to connect to a database using Jmeter for example: load testing of your database, manipulating (insert, update, delete) data in database during your load test or just fetching some data from database that will be passed to subsequent samplers.

To achieve this you would require following elements to be added to your test plan:JDBC Connection configurationJDBC Request samplerJDBC Connection configurationCreates a database connection as per supplied connection settings, this connection will be used by JDBC Request SamplerVariable name: The name of the variable the connection is tied to.

0 means that each thread will get its own pool with a single connection in it, i.e.

The Database URL and JDBC Driver class are defined by the provider of the JDBC implementation.

For other database connection settings, please refer to: http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#JDBC_Connection_ConfigurationDatabase URL: JDBC Connection string for the database.

jdbc:sqlserver://;;DatabaseName=;JDBC Driver class: Fully qualified name of driver class.

Struggling with git push.default, not sure what is the difference between push.default “matching” and “simple”.

Hope this blog will helps you out!

Lets start with what is git push?git push - can push all branches or a single one dependent on this configuration:Configuration 1 – Push all branchesgit config --global push.default matchingIt will push all the branches to the remote branch and would merge them.

If you don’t want to push all branches, you can push the current branch only.Configuration 2: Push only the current branchgit config --global push.default simpleIt will push branches one by one.

If you don’t want to push all branches, you can push the current branch only.push.defaultDefines the action git push should take if no refspec is explicitly given.

This is primarily meant for people who want to avoid mistakes by always being explicit.current – push the current branch to update a branch with the same name on the receiving end.

python-project.htmlWriting test caseAs now you already have setup your python project with Pycharm, let’s create a new python file where we will add our test cases.Please create a new python file in your project.

Notice the “test_” in your file name.

This is as per the rules for PyTest.

We will be running our tests using Python’s inbuilt testing framework called PyTest.

PyTest picks all those python files in your project which start with “test_” for test execution.In “test_apitest.py” file, our first statement would be :import requests“requests” is python’s inbuilt module which is used to send http requests to a server.

We will be using this module to send requests to our API and record the response.Now, for this tutorial we will be using a sample test API available online : https://reqres.in/apiWe will be sending requests to the endpoints defined in this API.Read more onhttps://www.fleekitsolutions.com/api-automation-using-python/

 Why Ranorex ?The look and feel of the application is the very first thing that catches a user’s eye.

That’s where GUI (Graphical user interface) testing comes in, and Ranorex is a GUI test automation framework used for the testing of web-based desktop and mobile applications.

What is Ranorex ?Ranorex Studio is a private enterprise Windows GUI test automation tool to automate tests for web applications and mobile applications.

It is simple enough to use, even non-coders will be able to create tests using Ranorex with/without knowledge of programming language.

The Ranorex framework supports standard programming languages like C# and VB.NET to edit recordings or to create custom tests.

Ranorex relies on the XPath command language enabling easier and additional systematic search of parts in an exceedingly web-based application.
