  2. Open the Node.js command prompt and type in the following command to install protractor globally.
    1. npm install –g protractor
You are now ready for a Proof of Concept:

Demo test application and protractor tests.
Setup     

git clone https://github.com/juliemr/protractor-demo.git 
cd protractor-demo 
npm install

To run

Get a selenium server running at localhost:4444. 
java - jar "Path to the selenium jar"
Make sure the chrome driver's path is set in the system's Path variable

Run ./node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager update
then ./node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager start.

Start the test application server 
with node app/expresserver.js Or if you're feeling lazy, just npm start.

Run the tests 
with node_modules/.bin/protractor test/conf.js Or if you're feeling lazy, just npm test.

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?

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
