STF and Android Test Automation

SeleniumTestsFramework (aka STF) has been available publicly for quite some time now.
Given the importance of mobile market, test automation for mobile sites and apps can not be ignored any more. So here is the version 2.0 of STF which supports android testing, both m-site as well as app. STF internally uses appium APIs to control android automation hence you don't need to switch to a new framework if you have already been using appium.
Use the following configuration in your testng.xml file to run test on android browser -

Let us know your feedback :-)

Capture network traffic using WebDriver

We often come across testing requirements when we need to analyze the network traffic to find - HTTP status of page Analyze header information to find if right information is passed Validating parameters related to ajax requests etc Selenium 1 has had a way to capture n/w traffic but the feature does not always work as expected.
