Issue while setting up TestNG and Maven from Scratch

Here is what a good friend of mine was facing with TestNG and Maven: 

Bro,

For your Blog:

Issue while setting up TestNG and Maven from Scratch:

Eclipse TestNG Plugin Version which is higher than TestNG jar in your pom dependecy, will fail to either Start or Quit the driver.

For example, I downloaded TestNG Eclipse plugin 6.9.10, but my pom.xml had a dependency on version 6.9.9. I kept getting the Unreachable Browser Exception for IE, Chrome and Mozilla.

I downloaded TestNG plugin 6.9.4, which is more stable, but my pom.xml had a dependency on version 6.8. The webdriver struggled to open and reported a "java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error", though my test completed successfully. I received this error again across all 3 drivers, i.e Firefox, IE and Chrome.

So to fix the above issues, I kept the plugin version 6.9.4, but increased the pom dependency on Test NG jar to 6.9.9. Result was a smooth execution.

I hope this piece of information can be of some help to people struggling setting up maven and testng for the first time.

Regards,

Sid

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
