Naming Conventions for Object / Locator Repository / Properties File

I guess there is no real need for me to emphasize why is it that we need to make our Object / Locator repository clean.

Whatever you call the OR:
  • Object map
  • Simple Properties file
  • Object Repository
  • Name Mapping file
  • Or any other file that stores your objects
The reason you want them to be clean:
  • Vastly reduce the amount of time needed for script
  • Script maintenance in case object properties change
  • Sophisticated Object identification and management
  • In the context of Selenium WebDriver, there is no out-of-the box solution for Object identification and repository. This furthermore increases the relevance and importance of a good way of managing things.
  • In an Agile based project, you can add object place holders so that as development is happening, even automation can begin in parallel.
  • Identify objects in the Object Repository that are no longer available in the AUT
  • Easy navigation when the size of the Object Repository grows exponentiall

#Naming Convention for Objects in OR
#-----------------------------------------------------------------

Name your page in this manner: 
Project.PageName.Functionality.ObjectType
e.g - GoogleProject.HomePage.SignIn.Link

the objects can be any of these:
# Button
# Calendar
# ComboBox
# CheckBox
# Dialog
# Frame
# Image
# Label
# Link
# Listbox
# MenuHeader
# MenuItem
# ProgressBar
# RadioButton
# Table
# TextBox
# TextArea
# Window

Once you know all the objects make sure that you place them in the right bucket:
Some examples:

#Button
HomePage.SignIn.Button=xpath://*[@name='login-submit']
all buttons

#Checkbox
HomePage.RememberMe.CheckBox=xpath://*[@class='input-remember-me']

# Frame
HistoryPage.QueryForm.Frame=xpath:.//iframe[@id='iframePage']

#Label 
AccountSummaryPage.Main.Label=xpath://*[@class='money bold Main Wallet r-mainWallet']

#Links

#MenuHeader

#MenuItem

# RadioButton

#Table

#Textbox

#TextArea

Happy Testing!

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
