What is STLC?

Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a sequence of different activities performed during the software testing process.

1. Requirement Analysis:

During this phase, test team studies the requirements from a testing point of view to identify the testable requirements.

2. Test Planning:

In this stage, a Senior QA manager will determine effort and cost estimates for the project and would prepare and finalize the Test Plan.

3. Test Case Development:

In this phase involves the creation, verification and development of test cases & test scripts.

4. Environment Setup:

Test environment decides the software and hardware conditions under which a work product is tested.

5. Test Execution

During this phase, the testers will carry out the testing based on the test plans and the test cases prepared.

6. Test Cycle Closure:

Testing team will meet, discuss and analyze testing artifacts to identify strategies that have to be implemented in the future, taking lessons from the current test cycle.

Explicit Wait, Implicit Wait, Fluent Wait in Selenium using C#

What are Wait commands? Waits are the command in Selenium which is very useful for the execution of the automated test scripts. During execution of automated test script, there might be some situation where issues may occur due to variations in time lag for loading web elements. In these situation Wait commands helps in troubleshooting these issues. Wait commands helps in directing a test script to pause for a certain time before throwing exception. Types of  Wait Commands Selenium WebDriver provides three types of wait commands to implement in tests. 1. Implicit Wait 2. Explicit Wait 3. Fluent Wait Implicit Wait Implicit wait directs the Selenium WebDriver to wait for a certain measure of time before throwing an exception. Once this time is set, WebDriver will wait for the webelement before throwing exception. So by implicitly wait, the WebDriver will wait for certain duration to find any webelement. This can helpful when certain elements on the webpage are not available immediately a

Assertion

PURPOSE OF ASSERT IN A TEST AUTOMATION SUITE  Assert plays vital role in automation testing. Without assertion we cannot provide the status of the test cases passed, failed etc. Assertion is used to validate the status of a test case. Let's take an example of a login page where a user logged in through valid username , valid password and clicking the login button. With valid credential it should login to the home page successfully. Now that a user has been logged in successfully there should be some sort of commands which helps to validate the user has successfully logged in. Hence assertion comes into picture, where we can use assertion command to validate whether the user has been successfully logged in by comparing any text in the homepage with the text provided in the command. eg. Assert.assertEquals(expected, actual) Here if the actual and expected matches , then the test case will be marked as a passed.

CI/CD Pipelines & DevOps A CI/CD Pipeline implementation, or Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment, is the backbone of the modern DevOps environment. It bridges the gap between development and operations teams by automating the building, testing, and deployment of applications. CI/CD is o ne of the best practices for DevOps teams to implement . It is also an  agile methodology  best practice, as it enables software development teams to focus on meeting business requirements, code quality, and security because deployment steps are automated. Before moving onto the CI/CD pipeline, let's start by understanding DevOps. DevOps is a software development approach which involves continuous development, continuous testing, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous monitoring of the software throughout its development lifecycle. Let us now look at the DevOps lifecycle and explore how it is related to the software development stages.
