Selenium Function Library

Poornima and I built collection of java Classes for selenium which provide capabilities which are not built in Selenium like - HTML Table Parsing, Custom Verification, Logging to name a few. This project is been existent from some time now, though I never had chance to write up on this. Whole project is available under "Repository" section of Veda for "Testing Competency" project and can be opened using java IDE like Eclipe.
Best way to get acquainted with this API is to generate java doc your self which is no more than child's play.
Make sure you have java 1.5 or higher and ANT 1.7.0
Configure System variable for Java and ANT, once having done this u should be able to see version of java and ant on your console on doing - "java-version" and "ant -verison"
On Console navigate to path where Sel Library is check out, it turns out to be following for me -
"D:\SelFunctionLibrary\SeleniumFunctionLibrary>"
Execute following ANT Target -
D:\SelFunctionLibrary\SeleniumFunctionLibrary>ant -buildfile build.xml javadoc
This will build java doc files in "javadoc" folder of Sel library, which describes package, methods and classes available in Sel Library. These files are in html format and can be easily opened using browser. You should see following out put on execution ANT Target -

Verify email confirmation using Selenium WebDriver

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .   How to Verify Email Confirmation Using Selenium 4 and JavaMail (2026 Guide) Email confirmation is a critical part of most registration flows — account activation, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and onboarding. Every automation engineer eventually faces the same challenge: How do you verify an email confirmation link inside a Selenium test without making it slow and flaky? The wrong instinct is to automate Gmail's UI with Selenium. It's fragile, slow, and breaks constantly. The right approach: Use Selenium for browser automation Use JavaMail (IMAP) to read the email directly Extract the confirmation link Continue the test in Selenium Why Not Automate Gmail UI With Selenium? Automating the Gmail UI means logging in, searching, clicking a message, and parsing content from a third-party interface that changes frequently. This leads to: Flaky...

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 -

Recording curl request with JMeter Recorder

Just use https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/curl.html and no JMeter proxy etc needed : )   Though it is quite east to convert curl requests to corresponding JMeter request. At times you might be stuck with issue like I faced when uploading a file with  JMeter HTTP request In a gist I kept getting 404 error when using REStful service to upload a file. After days of investigations I found it that I should be using HTTP request implementation java and not HttpClient4. JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder was of great help to debug this issue. This post describes the process of recording curl request through JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder. If you have never used JMeter HTTPs Test Script recorder then create a new JMeter Plan and under WorkBench > Add > Non Test Element > HTTP(s) Test Script Recorder.  Specify Global Setting > Port as 8090 If we were using browser to record web application then we would configure its proxy to 127.0.0.1 (Since http...
