1.Describe Selenium Architecture in detail?

Selenium

-->Selenium is an open-source framework used to automate the testing of web applications

--> Selenium is an automation tool used for web application testing, and Python is a programming language.

Python Selenium Architecture

The Python Selenium architecture consists of several components that work together to enable the automation of web browsers. Below is a detailed description of the key elements in the Python Selenium architecture

Components of Selenium Suite

Selenium IDE

--> It is a plugin developed for web-browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Edge.
--> It helps the testers and developers to record and playback the test-scripts.
--> It is used for prototyping test-cases before you write any --> real automation testing test-cases.

Selenium WebDriver

--> It is an API which helps us to run our test-cases on the browsers by manipulating the JavScript DOM.
--> It acts as a bridge between Python Selenium framework and web-browser.
--> The current version is version-4
--> Selenium Remote Control
--> It is an outdated version removed from Selenium suite
--> It has been replaced by Selenium WebDriver
Not used today.

Selenium Grid

--> To run parallel tests on multiple machines situated at multiple locations you can use the Selenium Grid

Python Virtual Environment

Python Virtual environment is an self-contained isolated directory which contains Python and its various modules.

It is used for sand-boking different modules of Python and to test it.

Why we use Python Virtual Environment

--> It is Isolated environment for testing
--> Folder structure for your unique projects

*How it works *

--> Creating an environment

--> pip install virtualenv
--> Activating the virtual environment
--> virtual env
--> Scripts\activate
--> Install the required package modules using PIP command
--> deactivate the virtual environment
--> Scripts\deactivate

What is Selenium? why do we use selenium for Automation?

Selenium
--> Selenium is open source tools and libraries that is used for browser automation
--> Selenium is Used to test the functionality on different Browsers and perform cross browser testing.
-->Selenium Automation allows tests to executed quickly and accurately
-->Selenium supports Parallel test execution and allows multiple tests to run.
-->Selenium Provides detailed test execution logs and reports
-->Selenium supports languages JAVA, Ruby, PHP, Perl ,Python, Java script, C#
-->Supported Browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Internet Explorer(IE).
-->Components of Selenium: Selenium IDE/Selenium RC/Selenium Web driver /Selenium Grid.

What is Manual Testing? What are the benefits and drawbacks of Manual testing? Give Some Example?

What is Manual Testing?

-Manual testing is a software testing process in which test cases are executed manually without using any automated tool.
-All Testcases are executed Manually according to end user perspective.

Manual testing is mandatory for every newly developed software before automated testing.

Types
-->White Box Testing
-->Black Box Testing
-->Gray Box Testing

Advantages of Manual Testing
-->It does not require programming knowledge
-->Deliver 100% Defect less.

Disadvantages of Manual Testing
-->It requires a large number of human resources.
-->It is very time-consuming.

What is manual testing and what are the benefits and draw backs in manual testing?

Manual testing:

It is the process of testing software and applications to identify issues such as bugs, defects, errors.

Types: Functional and Non Functional Testing

Benefits:

Easily testers can understand the flow of the product.
To test complex integration scenarios, which cannot be automated.

Drawbacks:
Manual Testing requires more time or more resources, sometimes both Time and Resources.

What is the difference between Functional and Non Functional testing?Give Some Examples?

selvarani — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 08:19:36 +0000

Functional Testing:

Is is a process to validate each functionality of a software /product is implemented as user expectation.

Types of Functional Testing: Unit/Smoke/Integration/Regression/system/User acceptance Testing.

Example: Facebook -- Test whether able to login Facebook page by providing User name and Password.

Non-Functional Testing:

To Ensure Software /Product meets the specific performance of requirements and to test the non functional aspects of application performance/reliability/security .

Types of Non Functional Testing:
Load/Stress/Scalability/Security testing.

Example: Time required to load the Facebook page based.

Describe the following Testing Techniques with proper Examples:

selvarani — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 09:10:42 +0000

Boundary Value Analysis -->Boundary value is a testing technique, which tests are designed to include boundary values in a range.

Example:
Age 18 or greater than 18 should be eligible for voting. it should not be less than 18.

2.Decision Table Testing

-->Decision Table is a testing technique, which is used to test system behavior and check all possible combinations of conditions.

Example: Amazon

Test1 -- Amazon Prime user purchasing a product -- > Shipping will be free of cost

Test2 -- Non Amazon Prime user purchasing a product -- > Shipping cost will be Extra

3.Use case Testing

--> Use case is based on system requirements and systems behavior to ensure all the functional requirements are met.

Example: Face book Login (Username-ABC1 -->Password - ABC1)

Correct user name:

Test1 Username-ABC1-->Password - ABC1 --->click Login-->Login success

Test2 Username-ABC1-->Password - ABC3 --->click Login-->Login Failed (Incorrect password)

Test3 Username-ABC2-->Password - ABC1 --->click Login-->Login Failed (Incorrect User name)

Test4 Username-ABC4-->Password - ABC3 --->click Login-->Login Failed (Incorrect User name & Password)

4.LCSAJ Testing (Linear code sequence and Jump Testing)

--> LCSAJ Testing is a type of white box testing to perform different task or sequence within the code to ensure all functionalities are working fine.
