What is Test Strategy?

Test Strategy is also known as test approach defines how testing would be carried out. Test approach has two techniques:
·        Proactive - An approach in which the test design process is initiated as early as possible in order to find and fix the defects before the build is created.
·        Reactive - An approach in which the testing is not started until after design and coding are completed.

Different Test approaches:

There are many strategies that a project can adopt depending on the context and some of them are:
·        Dynamic and heuristic approaches
·        Consultative approaches
·        Model-based approach that uses statistical information about failure rates.
·        Approaches based on risk-based testing where the entire development takes place based on the risk
·        Methodical approaches which is based on failures.
·        Standard-compliant approach specified by industry-specific standards.

Factors to be considered:

·        Risks of product or risk of failure or the environment and the company
·        Expertise and experience of the people in the proposed tools and techniques.
·        Regulatory and legal aspects, such as external and internal regulations of the development process
·        The nature of the product and the domain

Verify Specific Position of an Element

By -
Verify Specific Position of an Element Selenium IDE indicates the position of an element by measuring (in pixels) how far it is from the left or top edge of the browser window. ·          verifyElementPositionLeft   - verifies if the specified number of pixels match the distance of the element from the left edge of the page. This will return FALSE if the value specified does not match the distance from the left edge. ·          verifyElementPositionTop   - verifies if the specified number of pixels match the distance of the element from the top edge of the page. This will return FALSE if the value specified does not match the distance from the top edge.

Read it out for TESTNG before going for an iterview

How to run a group of test cases using TestNG? TestNG allows you to perform sophisticated groupings of test methods. Not only can you declare that methods belong to groups, but you can also specify groups that contain other groups. Then TestNG can be invoked and asked to include a certain set of groups (or regular expressions) while excluding another set.  This gives you maximum flexibility in how you partition your tests and doesn’t require you to recompile anything if you want to run two different sets of tests back to back. Groups are specified in your testng.xml file and can be found either under the <test> or <suite> tag. Groups specified in the <suite> tag apply to all the <test> tags underneath. @Test (groups = { "smokeTest", "functionalTest" }) public void loginTest(){ System.out.println("Logged in successfully"); }   How to create Group of Groups in TestNG? Groups can also inc...
