What is Web server?
Web server
A Web server can process HTTP requests and respond with HTML pages, provided the requests are handled by server side programs
It uses HTTP protocol to transmit the request/responses. Here Web server handled both request/response and business logic. This is more rigid design.
A web transaction using web server will be like this as below,
Browser (click operation to display some results on a grid> ==> Request goes to web server (Apache HTTP server) ==> Database
Selenium features – what are the main features of selenium.
Selenium supports Cross Browser Testing and parallel testing. The Selenium tests can be run on multiple browsers and multiple machines and multiple Operating systems. Selenium offers open source tools and supports test automation for web applications
Supports several scripting languages like Java, Python, C#, and PHP
Reporting are very easy and extensible.
Selenium uses Browser native commands. It locates and actions applied on UI elements
TestNG quick summary:
TestNG’s is Selenium + reporting features. It is easy to generate reports using Listeners and Reporters in TestNG
Features of TestNG includes the following,
1) Annotations – please refer my annotation blogAnnotation – TestNG’s test case priority
2) Supports parameterization/ data driven testing
3) Test cases can be grouped and parallel testing is allowed.
Application behavior is the main focus on BDD. The requirements are written in English which gives more readability and understandability of the requirement.
So any roles in the company (Tester, developer, end user, and techno functional person) can read it and understand it. Also this will reduce the complication in terms of missing requirement or misrepresenting or misunderstanding requirements between different roles (Developer /tester / end user)
Gherkin is a business readable language – refer below for an example. Below feature file is integrated with Selenium and are having user stories as below,
Please refer below – “feature, Scenario, Given, When, And, Then “are the Keywords below to understand on how to write a feature file.
In order to link Cucumber with Selenium WebDriver, you need to start a Java project in eclipse IDE.
Then, add both Cucumber and Selenium jar files
Write test runner code and execute the same . Please refer BDD testing details on Selenium Cucumber
Performance test analysis can be done real time script execution or post execution
Real time script execution analysis
1) Performance Engineer needs a coordination with other teams like Database team, app server team, etc to monitor real time performance on Database server, Application server
2) Database and app server team can let Performance Engineer know the performance results on these servers like resource utilization, fail over server works / load balancing works fine etc.
Post script execution analysis
1) Verification on Vuser metrics, Vuser errors, can be validated.
2) Verification Transactions graphs for TPS, response time, hits per second can be reviewed.

Selenium IDE. How it is implemented?
Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests.
It is a plugin or extension to Firefox browser. It’s very easy to add and implement. It is for basic level of application test users.
Commands used in Selenium is called selenese
What is an Application server
An Application server controls the business logic. Separating business logic from web server and adding to application server will give more reusability for this logic across different applications. This is more flexible design.
A web transaction using app server will be like this as below,
Browser (click operation to display some results on a grid> ==> Request goes to web server (Apache HTTP server) ==> Application server (Tomcat server) ==> Database
Or
Browser (click operation to display some results on a grid> ==> Request goes to web server (Apache HTTP server) ==> Application server (Tomcat server) ==> Web service ==> Third party Database

How to Enable/Disable Developer mode in Android phones
1.Go to Android device’s “Settings”,
2.Then go to “General” settings- please verify some phones may vary with flow, I am referring LG G2 phone’s navigation flow.
3.Scroll down to see “About Phone”
4.In About phone, single tap on “Software info” you would see “Build number”
5.Then, tap on 7 times on “Build number”to enable Developer mode or options.
Note: if the phone is already in Developer mode, then you can directly navigate to
Settings ==> About Phone ==> Developer options ==> enable/disable check box of USB Debugging.

vlookup function in excel for column value matching
Row# 2 and column A showed the match results for Column B Row# 1 as you can see value 1 is matched against Column C records.
Row# 4 and column A showed no match results for Column B Row# 4 as you can see value 5A is not matched against Column C records.
so the code sample you need to use for the record range of 11 rows, as below
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B2, $C$2:$C$11, 2, FALSE )), “MISSING”, “MATCHED!”)
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B3, $C$2:$C$11, 2, FALSE )), “MISSING”, “MATCHED!”)
etc
Performance testing best practices and activities.
Note: To learn the performance requirements & expectations, SME (Subject matter expert ) or production user can help. This information will help to define performance goals and SLAs
Note 1: To identify the right performance test scenarios, SME can give some feedback on about the current performance issues in production / live application that he/she is facing.
Note 2: You can refer another blog of mine on different types of performance scenarios – click link load testing vs performance testing vs stress testing
Note 1: Apart from delivering performance analysis results, Performance Engineer can coordinate with other team to monitor real time performance on Database server, Application server and also make sure load balancing is working fine while stress testing.
Some of the e.g. when performance testing is needed
