VB Script and ADO DB

VB Script can be used to establish db connection. This is very useful in QTP for writing db test cases. DB connection can be established for both SQL Server Authentication as well as Windows Authentication -

#########################################
Function Func_dbConnect

On Error Resume Next

'Creating the Connection Object
set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

'Setting the Data Source
strCS = "Driver={SQL Server}; Server=1.1.1.1; Database=GSBREG_021010; UID=us; PWD=us;"

'Open Connection
cn.Open strCS

If (Err.Number<>0) Then
MsgBox("Login Failed")
End If

Set Func_dbConnect = cn

End Function


Sub ExecuteSQLQuery

Set cn = Func_dbConnect()

'Creating RecordSet Object
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.CursorType = 2

'SQL query
FetchAcademicLevels = "Select even_id from allocation_event"_
&" where allocation_name = 'myname'"

Set rs = cn.Execute(FetchAcademicLevels)

If(rs.EOF) Then
MsgBox "No Records"
Else

For Each x in rs.Fields
MsgBox x.name
MsgBox x.value
Next
rs.MoveNext

End If

rs.Close
cn.Close

End Sub


ExecuteSQLQuery()

For Windows Authentication Connection String should be -

#########################################
strCS = "Driver={SQL Server}; Server=171.64.216.197; Database=copernicus_gsbreg_b2b_new; Trusted_Connection=Yes"

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.

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...
