Selenium Browser Testing with TestingBot

TestingBot is an online service which provides a Selenium Grid in the cloud. By utilizing TestingBot, you have immediate access to over 600 browser and device combinations to run both Automated Selenium and Manual tests. Ranging from IE6 to Chrome dev builds, from Windows XP to Windows 10 and macOS Sierra.

Instead of setting up and maintaining your own Selenium Grid with all possible browser combinations, you can rely on TestingBot to provide you with an extensive Selenium grid of both older and new browser versions. Because of this large Selenium Grid, you can easily run multiple tests simultaneously. For example; you can run the same test simultaneously on 40 different browser combinations, or run 40 different tests all on the same browser at once. This means your total test duration shortens dramatically, giving you early test feedback.
Running Appium tests is also possible. TestingBot provides iOS Simulators and Android emulators to run your Appium tests. In the coming months, TestingBot will be providing Automated and Manual real mobile device testing as well.

If you are looking to run tests against a website you're still developing on your computer or local network, you can use the TestingBot Tunnel. This allows you to run Automated and Manual tests on websites that are not yet available to the public.

If you're still using Selenium IDE or RC, you can upload your tests and test suites to TestingBot. Then you can schedule when the tests need to run and on which browsers. After each test run, you will receive a report and you can set up alerting to be notified when a test fails.

With the Automated test examples, ranging from PHP, Ruby and Python to Java, C# and NodeJS you can immediately start running your automated WebDriver tests.
And with the Manual testing, you can take control over any browser straight from your own browser, no setup required. Change the screen resolution, take screenshots and share with colleagues.

Return only first or last element from webelements collection

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     We often come across situation when there are multiple elements on a page and we probably like to exercise only a few of them using selenium webdriver. May be just first and last element. For example on a search result page we may like to click on only first and last link and not all. This is when Iterables API comes handy. (By the way I am assuming that you have already completed watching selenium training videos :)). Once we have collection of web element then we can use Iterables to get only first or last element as following - Consider that we fetch collection of element as - List< WebElement > webElements = getDriver().findElements(By. id ( "htmlID" ));   Now we can get the first web element from this collection as -  WebElement firstElement = Iterables. getFirst (webElements,  getDriver().findElement(By. id ( "defaultElement" )));   Herein second

Using chrome console to test xPath and css selectors

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .       Since the advent of selenium there have been many plugin to test xPath / css selectors but you don’t need any of them if you have chrome browser. Using Chrome console you can test both xPath and css selectors. Launch website to be tested in chrome browser and hit F-12 and you would see chrome console opened in lower pane of application - Hit escape key and console would open another pane to write element locators - And now you can start writing xPath or css selectors in chrome console and test them - The syntax for writing css id - $$(“ ”) And hit the enter key. If your expression is right then html snippet of the application element corresponding to the css selector would be displayed - If you mouse over the html snippet in chrome console then it would highlight the corresponding element in application - If you want to clean console of previously wri
