Cloud Testing – Nuts & Bolts
Need for Cloud Testing – Issues and Challenges Traditional testing has limitations like latency, performance, concurrency, and planning issues and is way too expensive. Cloud testing is a big game changer and surpasses the challenges faced by traditional testing. It can be used to provide a flexible, scalable, and affordable testing environment at all times […]
Testing Web Services using ApacheBench
ApacheBench (ab) is a tool for benchmarking an Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. This shows how many requests per second the server is capable of handling. A point to note is that ApacheBench will only use one operating system thread regardless of the concurrency level; specified by the -c parameter. In some cases, especially […]
Software Test Metrics | Defect Metrics | Defect Slippage Ratio
Introduction: Metrics can be defined as “STANDARDS OF MEASUREMENT”. A Metric is a unit used for describing or measuring an attribute. Test metrics are the means by which software quality can be measured. The test provides visibility into the readiness of the product and gives a clear measurement of the quality and completeness of the […]
Types of Project Metrics
Metric is an inevitable part of any piece of work being performed. It’s a system in place to measure the excellence or rather performance of work delivered. Any work that is not controlled and measured can prove the equivalent to incorrect work being delivered. Technology grows at a tremendous pace that enterprises always strive in […]
Types of Software Testing
Dry run Testing In this type of testing the effects of a possible failure are intentionally mitigated. Usually done in a different server with Customer data before moving into actual Production release. Mutation Testing This type of testing checks whether our unit tests are robust enough. The mutation is a small change in code; where […]
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
What is Cross-Site Scripting? Cross-site scripting, also known as XSS, is a type of security vulnerability typically found in Web applications. It occurs when a web application gathers malicious data from a user. The data is usually gathered in the form of a hyperlink that contains malicious content. Browsers are capable of displaying HTML content […]
Creating AdvancedTest Plan in JMeter
The need for creating an Advanced Test Plan comes in when the test requires any of the following The need to validate results based on updates to a field in the DB To use Input File in order to parameterize the input variable Use of While, If-Else controller Steps to be followed while recording an […]

Steps to be followed while recording a script: Open a new Test Plan Right click on Test Plan->Add->Threads (users) ->Thread Group Right-click on Thread Group->Add->Config Element-> HTTP Cookie Manager Right-click on Thread Group->Add->Config Element-> HTTP Header Manager Right-click on Thread Group->Add->Config Element->HTTP Request Defaults Right-click on Thread Group->Add->Logic […]
Test Automation Frameworks
A framework is a set of assumptions, concepts & practices that support automation. Types of Frameworks Test script Modularity Framework Test Library Architecture Framework Keyword driven Framework Data Driven Framework Hybrid Frameworks Test Script Modularity Framework Test script modularity framework requires the creation of small independent scripts that represent modules section & functions of the […]
Everything about Performance Testing
What is Performance Testing? Performance testing of an application is basically the process of understanding how the web application and its operating environment respond at various user load levels. In general, we want to measure the latency, throughput, and utilization of the website while simulating attempts by virtual users to simultaneously access the site. One […]
Working with Regular Expression Extractor in JMeter
Using Regular Expression Extractor in JMeter During automating tests many times, the test scripts depend on input values that are generated during the test run. These values can be stored in a variable but sometimes the test requires only a part of this value. In such cases, the need for a string extractor is felt. […]
Automation Index Formula – A checklist to help in identifying the tests that are feasible to automate
“Just because a test is automatable it does not mean it should be automated” Elfriede Dustin Automation testing begins with an analysis of what is feasible to automate, taking into account the budget, resources, schedule, and available expertise. Given limited resources and tight deadlines, we first need to prioritize what is to be automated. The […]
