How can we block access to Orkut in our machine?Even if we are trying to access ,it should not open...
This is a doubt and order from one of my friends.So I have to answer him,googled and found a solution for this .Blocked orkut in my laptop.
Here is the solution
In
C:>WIndows>system32>drivers>etc
we will find a file called hosts.
Open this file with notepad.Just append this line at the end of file
127.0.0.1 (domain name or url u want to block)
for example 127.0.0.1 www.orkut.com.
Open any of the browsers and try to access orkut now,it will show oops the site u r trying to access is wrong(Not exactly this message,some kind of message like this)
It will work only if we access the site using domain name.If we are using ip this technique will not work.
Again if you want to give access to the blocked site just remove the added entry in hosts file.
Brb.... :)

Difefrence between Verify and Assert in Selenium
In selenium while using IDE or RC we will find two methods for
1.Verification
2.Assertion
We know that both are used to find whether a given text(input) was present or not in the loaded(opened)webpage,but why there are two methods defined when they are behaving in a same manner??
There is a difference between these two methods
When we are executing a testcase of 10 lines(assume a testscript of 10 lines in which we used both verify (4line)and assert(6 line)),When Verify text failed(means the input text was not there in the loaded page) it gives the test result as failed but all the steps after this Verify statement were executed till the end of the scrpit.
Coming to Assert if assertion failed, testcase aborted from that line and will stop executing the remaining statements in the script
:)

Test Automation Framework
A framework is an integrated system that sets the rules of Automation of a specific product. This system integrates the function libraries, test data sources, object details and various reusable modules. These components act as small building blocks which need to be assembled to represent a business process. The framework provides the basis of test automation and simplifies the automation effort.
These are the various types of automation frameworks
Data-driven testing:Test Scripts are executed based on the data
Modularity-driven testing :Test Scripts are created based on small and independent modules
Keyword-driven testing :
The keyword-driven testing methodology divides test creation into two stages:-
Planning Stage
A simple keyword (one action on one object), e.g. entering a username into a textfield
Implementation Stage
or test designers (who don’t have to know how to program) write test cases based on the keywords defined in the planning stage that have been implemented by the engineers. The test is executed using a driver that reads the keywords and executes the corresponding code.
Hybrid testing :The hybrid Test Automation Framework is what most frameworks evolve into over time and multiple projects
Model-based testing: Model-based testing is the application of Model based design for designing and executing the necessary artifacts to perform software testing. This is achieved by having a model that describes all aspects of the testing data, mainly the test cases and the test execution environment. Usually, the testing model is derived in whole or in part from a model that describes some (usually functional) aspects of the system under test (SUT).
Will update each approach in detail :)

Handling download popup usin selenium
Handling popups in web applications was not supported by many of the automation tools.Selenium is an open source tool which is supporting this feature.
However selenium is capable to handle only the HTML popups.There are some other popups called "Windows popups" example download popups, which are related to OS.These download popups are not handled by the selenium.
We need to use a tool called "autoit" to handle this popups.
Download the autoit exe from auto it site and pass the name of the exe as an argumnet.
If u r using java call this using execute method.
if u r using perl call this using system function

Deleteing a service from services.msc
How to delete a service from services.msc?
Here is the process....
1.Open command prompt from run using "CMD" or "COMMAND".
2.Go to C drive in the command prompt.
3.Home directory should be C: Drive ,means "C:\>".
4.Use the command "sc delete"
for example if u want to stop apache server service,below is the syntax
"sc delete apacheserver"
Keep watching for more updates :)

Keytool commands
keytool -alias selenium -import -file cybervillainsCA.cer -keystore selenium.keystore
keytool -printcert -file certfile.cer
keytool -list -keystore selenium.keystore
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file cybervillainsCA.cer
these are some of the important commands while generating keystore files
I will update more commands asap
keytool -printcert -file certfile.cer

Handling https using selenium
If we have a invalid ssl certificate or expired certificate configured with your tomcat server,it is not possible for selenium-Rc to handle https request until we add new SSL certificate to our server conf.xml.
So i found a solution to handle this.
1.In selenium RC directory we will find selenium server directory.In that directory we wil find SSL in which we will find a valid certificate.
2.Create a keystore file to import this certificate into that keystore file using the command in ur command prompt.
keytool -genkey -alias aliasname -keyalg rsa -keysize 2048 -keystore keystorename
3.It will ask for a password then give the password which u like
4.Then it will ask u for the details ,enter the details and again reenter the password
5.So in present working directory u wil find a keystore file.
6.Inport the certificate given by seleniium into this keystore file using command
keytool -keystore test -keyalg "RSA" -import -trustcacerts -file cybervillai
nsCA.cer
7.Now change the server.xml keystore property in conf dir of u r tomcat to point the created keystore file.
8.Now restart the server,and hit the url,then it will show certificate error and when u r trying to install the certificate,it has to show the seleinums certificate.
9.Install this certificate and restart the browser.
10.New certificate will be installed and it has to show a valid certificate.
11.If it is showing mismatched certificate address then in IE tools>Advanced>>security>>Uncheck the windows mismatch checkbox
12.Restart the browser.
13.And start using seleniumRC
Any doubts feel free to contact me

1.Fundmentals of testing -7 bits
2.Testing throught out the life cycle-6 bits
3.Static analysis-3 bits
4.Dynamic test design techniques-12
5.TestManagement-8 bits
6.Tools for test design -4bitsing
U can clear the exam if u prepare 4,5,1 chapters.
Dont neglect 4 th chapter its an easy chapter,U can expect 3 questions from black box design techniques like
1.Equvialence Partitoning
2.BVA
3.Decision table
3 Questions from Whitebox techniwues like
1.Statement coverage
2.Path coverage
3.Branch decision coverage
Any doubts regarding these feel free to contact me
Selenium a Functional Testing tool
I think u already heard about a testing tool called "Selenium" from "Thought Works".A good tool consisting of three major components
1. Selenium IDE
2.Selenium Remote Control(RC)
3.Selenium Grid
A good tool used for regression testing.
The options provided by IDE are very flexible and make testers job easy while testing.
Refer the link http://seleniumhq.org/ for more details on selenium.
Download the 3 components from the downloads tab and go through the Documentation,then selenium is in ur hands.

ISTQB CERTIFICATION
The ISTQB is responsible for the international qualification scheme called "ISTQB Certified Tester". The qualifications are based on a syllabus, and there is a hierarchy of qualifications and guidelines for accreditation and examination. The ISTQB Foundation Level exam and the ISEB Foundation Exam became aligned as of 01-June-2006. ISEB, established in 1967 is the world's leading issuer of Software Testing qualifications and offers courses in over 50 countries worldwide.
ISTQB WEB SITE :www.istqb.org
INDIAN TESTING BOARD:www.istqb.in
ITB is the board which is looking ISTQB activities in INDIA.
With this certification u can be good at software testing.Apart from this it is good if u have some idea on tools like JMETER,Selenium etc...
See more details about istqb in the given site
