Parameterization in test automation is a crucial technique that enables testers to execute the same test with different data sets or configurations, enhancing flexibility and test coverage. By using parameterized tests, testers can run a single test multiple times with various inputs, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of testing. This approach saves time and effort by […]

TestNG, a robust testing framework for Java, empowers testers to create custom annotations with parameters, revolutionizing how test configurations are managed. In this blog, we will delve into the process of crafting custom annotations in TestNG, explore the art of passing parameters to these annotations, and showcase their practical application through illustrative examples. This feature […]

Modern automation frameworks greatly benefit from parallel test execution. However, it can introduce complexities when dealing with shared resources like extent reports. Running tests in parallel can lead to chaos in the results, as multiple tests might update the same report simultaneously. This blog tackles a common hurdle: how to ensure thread safety in Extent […]

Introduction Automating tests might seem daunting at first, especially if you’re just dipping your toes into the world of testing. But fear not! Tools like the Katalon Platform Recorder extension are here to lend a helping hand, making the process much more approachable and user-friendly. Let’s dive into the ins and outs of the Katalon […]

Introduction Katalon Studio’s Self-Healing Mechanism is a powerful feature designed to address common challenges in test automation, particularly the NoElementFoundException. This mechanism automatically repairs itself by searching for alternative options when a test object cannot be located, enhancing the stability of test scenarios. Understanding how to utilize and exclude objects effectively in this process is […]

As sites and applications become more intelligent, it’s essential to guarantee that all clients, regardless of disabilities, can access and utilize these elements. Interactive components like sliders, accordions, and modals can be especially difficult to make open, yet with the right testing strategies, it’s feasible to guarantee that everybody can utilize them. Sliders Sliders are […]

Timed interactions refer to any interaction with an application with a time constraint. This could be a login session that expires after a certain time, a payment gateway that times out if the user takes too long to complete the transaction, or any other interaction with a time limit. Testing the accessibility of these interactions […]

Understanding OAuth 2.0: The Gatekeeper to Secure API Access In API testing, ensuring secure and authorized access to protected resources is paramount. This is where OAuth 2.0, an industry-standard authorization framework, comes into play. It acts as a robust mechanism for granting temporary access tokens to applications. It enables them to interact with APIs on […]

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final stage before launching new functionality.  What should be an exciting time can turn to frustration and exhaustion.  Over the years, I have found tactics that can improve the UAT outcome. UAT involves key business stakeholders validating the system prior to go-live.  My background is primarily around website and […]
