Selenium Training Meet 19th May - Video Recording

Just finished first on line Selenium meeting. There were about 120 registration received and more than 60 users participated in meeting which does not seem bad for a meeting held on weekend. Meeting recordings can be watched here. Feel free to share in your contacts.

A few of you complained about audio unavailability. If you are not able to hear audio then please reload/refresh the video URL.

The meeting was largely focused on xPath and CSS locators. If you participated in meeting and have an opinion/suggestion then please post it here

A few of you asked me to post questions I asked towards end of session. They are -

  • How to use "ends-with" with xPath
  • How to use nested predicate with xPath
  • Finding nth child in css selector

We should also thank anymeeting for the wonderful resource they provided for on line meet. Stay tuned for next meet.

    1. I checked on Chrome Browser and it works. Could you try once again.
      There was one instance when I could not hear audio. That may have been technical issue with Anymeeting. Let me know if it does not work for you at all.

      Also try loading video in incognito window of chrome (ctrl + shify + N), in case your add on are causing trouble.

  2. Thanks a lot Tarun. Great session and great initiative, watched the recording this time, will try to participate for the next one.

    Guys regarding audio, I too faced some issues initially, finally the workaround was to use IE8 and refresh it when u couldn't hear the sound. You could move the recording to where you finished earlier and it works fine

Which location strategy to use with mobile apps

Locator Strategy for native mobile apps IDs and accessibility locators are still king. NSPredicate (iOS) and UIAutomator (Android) are great—mainly better than XPath —but they do not beat a good accessibility id or resource-id . And CSS selectors don’t exist for native apps (only for WebViews). Locator Strategy Ranking Rank iOS (native) Android (native) Why 1 Accessibility ID → name / label (via MobileBy.AccessibilityId or @iOSXCUITFindBy(accessibility = "Mehr anzeigen") ) Accessibility ID → content-desc (via MobileBy.AccessibilityId ) or @AndroidFindBy(accessibility = "Letzte Aktivitäten, Überschrift") ) Fast, readable, stable when set intentionally; improves a11y. 2 Stable identifiers (rare on iOS) resource-id (via new UiSelector().resourceId(...) ) or @AndroidFindBy(id = "load_more") id is just shorthand for matching the native Android resource-id attribute. Appium automatically maps id → resource-id If you pass only "load_more"...

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can

Selenium Tutorial: Ant Build for Selenium Java project

Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -
