Important tools every tester should know for cross browser compatibility testing

Cross browser testing is a major challenge for software testers. There is an endless combination of various legacy and modern browsers for software testers to test applications and websites to iron out compatibility issues.
An ideal mobile or web application runs uniformly on a combination of various browsers, versions, devices and OS. To make your task easier we have listed five cross browser testing tools to help ease browser compatibility issues.
BrowserstackBrowserstack is a popular cross browser testing tool that uses virtualization on the cloud infrastructure to give you access to the testing platform and requires no installation. Browserstack allows websites to be tested through online JavaScript or Selenium automated test suites. It supports testing across 700+ browsers and is equipped with user-friendly features such as screenshots, local testing, responsive design testing, API’s, etc.

Crossbrowsertesting.comCrossbrowsertesting.com allows live testing of the website across different browsers and operating systems. To use it, you need to login to the Cross Browser Testing platform, select the operating system, browser and start testing your website for HTML forms, AJAX, JavaScript and Flash. There is an automated layout comparison feature that allows you to test your website on a “base” browser and get a summary of differences along with screenshots of bugs and layout issue. Websites can also be tested in the local development phase.

It identifies cross-browser layout problems and reports JavaScript errors. It allows you to test the entire website instead of single website pages along with links and dynamic content such as DHTML and AJAX. You will be alerted about cross-browser compatibility issues immediately.

BrowsershotsBrowsershots is a free open-source testing application that allows you to test your website browser compatibility at one place. This testing platform is easy to use. You need to enter your website URL and select the browser setup. You can select from various presets such as JavaScript, screen size, color depth, Flash and Java. You will receive screenshots which can be bookmarked for later review.

How to calculate maximum number of concurrent users using littile law formula

When load testing an application, the first set of tests should focus on measuring the maximum throughput. This is especially true of multi-user, interactive applications like web applications. The maximum throughput is best measured by running a few emulated users with zero think time. This means that each emulated user sends a request, receives a response and immediately loops back to send the next request. Although this is artificial, it is the best way to quickly determine the maximum performance of the server infrastructure. Littile Law: Once you have that throughput (say X), we can use  Little’s Law  to estimate the number of real simultaneous users that the application can support. In simple terms, Little’s Law states that : N = X  / λ where N is the number of concurrent users,  λ is the average arrival rate and X is the throughput. Note that the arrival rate is the inverse of the inter-arrival time i.e. the time between requests. To under...

How to develop a security test strategy

What do you need to write a security test plan? The folowing documents comprise the list of what I would expect as inputs to the creation of the individual security test plans. This is a good point to go and review your overall security delivery plan. Does it include these documents as deliverables? Does the supplier have any of these as standard off-the-shelf products? : System security requirements System threat model System risk model Secure coding standards Technical threat modelling Infrastructure secure configuration guides Security defect metrics What is in a security test plan? The security test strategy should as a minimum specify the following points as the core content for each of the security test plans: What are the inputs to the test plan? When in the process does this test occur? Who specifies the test plan contents? Who performs the test? How many instances of the test are expected? What are the required outputs of the test? What are the success...

Singleton Design Pattern using Page Factory

Image
n this tutorial, We will learn about the  Framework Design Pattern using singleton class  in Selenium. In the Previous tutorial we have seen, How can we run the Test using Page Factory. Now question is, Will we repeat the Browser invoke and Logger code again and again in each and every Test. No, To resolve this issue we will use the Singleton Pattern. We will design the Single  Test Base  class.  First, Let's see what is  Singleton Pattern .  With the Singleton design pattern you can: Ensure that only one instance of a class is created Provide a global point of access to the object In  TestBase  class, we will Design the Singleton Pattern, We will write the command code here and all Test Classes will inherit this  TestBase  class.  n previous Example, we have seen we were invoking  WebDriver   instance  in each @Test. Here, We will Implement the WebDriver initializat...
