Uploading files through Selenium using AutoIT

Selenium is a widely used test automation tool especially during web-based apps testing. It comes with a set of diverse software tools each enabling rich test automations across different functions of the dynamic web app testing. There are many advantages of using Selenium, yet there are some snags that may be addressed with thirty party tools.
File uploads to a HTML5-based web application from local directory system is one such scenario where Selenium is not much of a help. However, this limitation of Selenium can be overcome using a third-party tool called AutoIT which is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting.
Here are the 2 steps making it possible:

Creating AutoIT code that uploads file to an application
Calling this AutoIT code inside Selenium script

Implementing md-autocomplete with AngularJs

AngularJS is a JavaScript-based open-source front-end web application framework that is incredibly popular among developers as it provides an excellent toolset to build an application most dynamically with rich interactive features and functionalities for a real-time experience. Mostly used in Single Page Application (SPA) projects, AngularJS models are JavaScript objects which makes it easy to code, test, maintain reuse, and most importantly free. When it comes in one of its input component called “md-autocomplete” these are the points to consider while implementing it during development. It displays a dropdown of all possible matching content to user’s query. User will be able to pick required content from the drop-down that would have all the potential matches based on the search characters entered by him/her. md-autocomplete is different from browser’s autofill feature. It allows user to key-in any value bu...

Manual Testing Vs Automated Testing

Software testing is done to ensure a defect free application while meeting all the requirements in terms of quality, functionalities and performance as laid in the SLA. However, as the testing parameters get complex software testing gets tougher and challenging. Accurately deciding the testing option, whether Manual or Automated, is easier said than done. Let’s see what they offer. In manual testing, test cases are executed manually without any support from tools or scripts. It is a process in which the software’s features and functionalities are tried like an end user to find whether it meet the goals. On the other hand, Automated testing is executed with the help of software tools, scripts and is performed by repeating pre-defined actions. It is more reliable with high degree of accuracy compared to manual testing. You can execute test cases significantly faster as multiple tests can be run in parallel, made possible by distributing test cases across di...
