    Your blog is very helpful. I am automating quikr and I have a doubt.
    My doubt is that while editing any add that you posted in quikr.com, then there is a subcategory field in the add.
    I think that is not a driopdown. After selecting the main category, corresponding subcategories are displayed there on the same dropdown (here i am saying dropdown but please do not get confused as that is not dropdown i think)...
    Now I am unable to select any subcategory from that field.
    Can you please help me out here.


    Please help how to select the value here...

      Hey thanks for the kind words. I checked quikr. You are right these are not drop-down elements but list items. You can access them by their ids or using XPATH like -
      Category - //*[@id='li_269']
      Sub Category - //*[@id='su_227']

      Hope this helps!

      Hi,
      Thanks for quick response sir...
      By using the ids I can select Category/Sub Category. But here for selecting the category, I have created a method and in my testcase I am calling that method. And for that method, my code is below:-

      WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='subcatdiv']/ul"));
      List vals = element.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
      for(WebElement optionelement : vals){
      System.out.println(optionelement.getText());
      if(optionelement.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Office Supplies")){
      optionelement.click();
      break;
      }
      }

      But I am unable to select the category/Subcategory.

      Kindly help me out here How can I achieve this.
      I need your help in this.

      Kindly help.

      Thanks

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

Image
If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
