Bandwidth Throttle : a new way to simulate various network speed for Client-Server apps

  1. Bandwidth throttling is the intentional slowing of Internet service by an Internet service provider. It is a reactive measure employed in communication networks in an apparent attempt to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion.

  3. Now a days releasing the client-server application to the market without testing it in all possible network speeds such as Edge/2G/3G/4G/LTE various Wi-fi speeds, tethering etc is very dangerous. This is highly risk prone areas for the client-server apps. Normally the companies would be having high speed internet/4G connections and the QA Team forgets about the normal end user cases such as network disturbances, low bandwidth, repeated disconnection etc...
  4. Then what would be the solution for this? How the QA should identify this in early stage? The solution found by moderntester is Bandwidth throttling using proxy tools!
  5. Charles can be used to adjust the bandwidth and latency of your Internet connection. This enables you to simulate modem conditions using your high-speed connection.
    The bandwidth may be throttled to any arbitrary bytes per second. This enables any connection speed to be simulated.
    The latency may also be set to any arbitrary number of milliseconds. The latency delay simulates the latency experienced on slower connections, that is the delay between making a request and the request being received at the other end.

How to inspect disappearing element in a browser: In selenium scripting we should  use right techniques for identifying the web elements. In few cases when there is disappearing items like KendoUI, we should use smart ways/techniques for identifying the elements rather than spending lot of time behind analyzing the javascript/reactjs codes. Technique/Tools  1.  For finding the elements and xpaths, we can use the tools like  ChroPath, CSS Selector or any other Chrome plugins 2. Once we identified the proper xpath or elements with id/css, we can confirm its presence with similar tools like Xpath Helper Wizard Then, we can use it in our page factory logic So, challenge here is, few elements like KendoUI date pickers closes soon after changing the focus,  To find elements of these kind we can use 2 techniques: 1. In Chrome,  Open devTools (F12) Select the "Sources" tab While the element you want is displayed, press F8...

Implicit vs Explicit vs Fluent And Sleep in Selenium

  Why Do We Need Selenium Waits when there is Sleep in java ? Most of the time a common problem faced by almost all automation tester is " ElementNotVisibleException ".   I saw the people scratching their head because of this!. Visually, when seeing the UI execution of script, we face a common question that, "we can see the element but why our script cant find this!!"❓ here is the catch! Usually, when navigation happens from one page to other/ on dynamically loading or hiding elements, there will be a delay of fractions. Hence, some time our eye won't catch that, though script may encounter of fail to find element. Hence, to resolve this we should apply wait! Types of Selenium Waits For Page Load Thread.Sleep() method Implicit Wait Explicit Wait Fluent Wait https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shikshan.app Thread.Sleep()  For Automation Testing with Selenium Sleep is a static method that belongs to the thread class in java. This method can...

The generated Page Object Model can be saved to pre-configured Chrome download folder. It currently supports 3 different targets: Java, C#, and Robot Framework. You can search for this extension in Chrome Browser. PageObjectGenerator Extension Once we add this extension to Chrome, we can easily generate Page Objects for the applications which we need to automate. Usage: Launch Chrome browser and the extension can be found at the top rig...
