This article explains the best practices to be considered in building robust test automation framework. Test Automation – A Brief History: I still remember – It was sometime in 2004. I was thrilled when I first saw QTP (now it is UFT) playing the recorded script – launching a browser, entering test data and submitting […]
Overview: As an automation engineer, you might very well know how to interact with default HTML elements like text box, radio button, image, check box etc. Selenium WebDriver considers all these elements as WebElement & provides a set of methods to play with these elements. Sometimes It adds unnecessary confusions. For ex: While working with a radio button, webdriver identifies

Little’s law should probably be the one of the most famous queuing theories! Lets see how it can be used in performance testing. Little’s Law: The long-term average number of customers in a stable system N is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate, λ, multiplied by the average time a customer spends in the

Setting up the JMeter distributed test infrastructure for the performance testing is not very easy! We already have seen that Docker can help us here in setting up the infrastructure. If you have not read the articles of TestAutomationGuru, I would suggest you to check these. Distributed Load Testing using Docker Distributed Load Testing using

We might have heard/seen/created a Keyword driven framework for functional testing automation using QTP / Selenium WebDriver (TestAutomationGuru has one for WebDriver here). Have you ever heard of a keyword driven framework for JMeter for Performance Testing? I have not! In this article, Lets see how to create a Data + Keyword driven framework for JMeter.

We have already seen monitoring CPU / Memory utilization using Collectd (this article). But It does not give all the information to identify the bottleneck of a Performance issue. In this article, we will be using Collectd Java plugin to monitor and manage Java Virtual Machine (JVM) using its JMX technology. Goal: To monitor and manage the

I am going to shamelessly copy some content from the article on JMeter + Ant. Goal: To create a Continuous Delivery Pipeline which includes Performance Testing process to detect any performance related issues as early as possible. Usually the full scale Performance Test will be done in the Staging/Pre-Production environment which could be identical to your Production environment. Code

We already have seen in this article on monitoring server performance using JMeter plugin. Even though the JMeter Server agent is useful to collect the server performance metrics, we need to use JMeter’s metrics collector to listen to the server agent to collect the data which was a little bit annoying. I was looking for some
