I will be working on Testing Automation project as a part of GSoC 2015 and my mentor is Shwetambara. I am looking forward to it, because this is slightly different from the development projects I did in the past. Testing is very crucial to ensure that the application runs as desired. Hence, I chose this project.
TBA
- Completing formalities of google, systers, sending off introduction mail
- Read Shweta's weekly updates - attached
- Testing automation with selenium courses on plural sight - 3 hr +5 hr
- Getting windows 8 installed.
- Getting Eclipse, Selenium jars, junit testing framework, ant build, database connection on it
Link to your unit test results. Could be in table format or sections. Up to you.
This was a nice kick - off week.
- Getting system setup with Windows, eclipse, git, java and selenium web drivers
- Two Pluralsight courses: Automated web testing framework and selenium web driver
- A hangout arranged by Rose to get started with Testing Automation
- Getting in touch with Divya, Julia and Jennifer - developers of Ushahidi
- Went through last year GSoC work video
- Getting the github repo and making folders for all of them.
- Getting started with Ushahidi as I had never used it before.
- Yes, I had used it as a user first, before getting started as a developer
- Setup had been a smooth walk, but the difficult phase is requirement gathering and coming up with testcases to test all functionality, features and UI.
- No. Will reach out to my mentor in case I need any help.
- Listing a broad-level testcases and features to check.
- Start with detail testing Login Page testing
- On Schedule
This was an awesome learning week for me.
- Installing Maven, IEDriver, ChromeDriver.
- Added Maven Plugin for Eclipse
- Built Ushahidi from Source
- Listed all possible testcases for LoginPage
- Making a sample Selenium test project for searching a query on Google following Page-object model.
- A simple -lucidly written tutorial for geting started with Selenium with Maven-build
- Github link
- Some technical challenges: Two major errors where I was stuck:
-
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property; more information here. -
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element(Session info: chrome=43.0.2357.81) (Driver info: chromedriver=2.15.322448) - Coming up with appropriate page-object model.
- The input fields in the app have type=hidden. So, Selenium throws exception:
org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotVisibleException: element not visible
-
- Yes. After searching about them, they have been resolved.
- Setting
System.setProperty();with the path to webdriver. Installed IEDriver and chromedriver. ForHtmlUnitDriver();there is no need for any external installation. - I learnt that the elements take some time (depending on the connection speed) to load. So, I made the threads to sleep for 5 seconds (5 is a magic number introduced!) I know its bad to introduce magic numbers in code. I will try to figure out how to do implicit wait.
- Read and analysed some existing selenium projects for learning some best-industry practice for automated testing.
- I am figuring out how to test fields with hidden types.
- Setting
- No major roadblocks pending as of now.
- I am planning to make db connection for storing test data, which I have to figure out.
- Apart from that, I am planning to report into Excel file, so I will also put all test results into an Excel sheet.
- Apart from that, I have to prioritize from the list of 25 testcases for login.
- I am contacting mentor for testcases that can be eliminated for round 1 of testing login page.
- Complete testing of Login Page.
- Make Db connection
- Test result Reporing through Excel
- Listing a broad-level testcases and features to check for dashboard (like I did of Login Page)
-On Schedule
There are 5 major pages to be tested in the Ushahidi app as mentioned here The first one of which is login test which I completed this morning. Hence, I guess 20% work is done, yay!
- Completed the entire login page testing. Login page testing was divided into 4 parts as follows
- ForgotPasswordTests.java : contains 2 testcases Screencast Demo
- UILoginTests.java : contains 6 testcases Screencast Demo

The volunteers identify such students in need and shall upload their location along with other necessary details on the Guyana Crowdsourcing portal. The required information shall be easily available to other PCVs and important notifications shall be sent to Peace Corps for immediate attention.
