Very Good Sir, This really helps for POC of any performance tools ... Thanks a lot !

[@sricanwin1]

Thanks a lot for the information. Do we feature wise comparision report for opentext ALM quality center vs other ALM tools? If we can add licence cost as well that will be great

[@RaghavPal]

Ok.. will try

[@rahulgiri9880]

Which will be your way to go tool and why ? This video doesn’t talks about that.

[@RaghavPal]

Rahul When it comes to performance testing, there are several tools to choose from, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It will be difficult to pick one as it will depend on scenario, testing needs, project needs etc. Still if someone wants to start learning performance testing, I would recommend Apache JMeter Apache JMeter is a powerful, open-source tool that is widely used for load and performance testing of web applications, APIs, databases, and other server-based systems. It allows you to simulate various scenarios and generate loads to assess the system's performance under different conditions -

Hi Sir I love your videos which are very informative and educative. Truly you are my inspiration to learn coding. Thanks for every thing.... I have a doubt. I have created a project for mobile automation using webdriverio and appium and typescript. Commonly, we give path of the apk to be tested which may be available with in the project or any where in the local drives. But using the desired capabilities in a function in a page objects file, can we launch any already installed apk in android emulator (on windows machine) by calling the function in the steps-definitions. (cucumber framework) If we can... Plz let me know how.... I will be waiting for your reply and solution... please please...

[@RaghavPal]

Yes, it is possible to launch an already installed APK on an Android emulator using WebDriverIO and Appium. You can do this by setting the appPackage and appActivity desired capabilities in your Appium server configuration. The appPackage capability specifies the package name of the app to be launched, while the appActivity capability specifies the activity name to launch when the app is opened. You can find the package name and activity name of an installed app using the following command: adb shell "dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp'" adb shell "dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp'" Once you have obtained the package name and activity name, you can set the appPackage and appActivity capabilities in your Appium configuration as follows: capabilities: { platformName: 'Android', deviceName: 'emulator-5554', appPackage: 'com.example.package', appActivity: '.MainActivity' } In order to launch the already installed APK, you can omit the app capability and set the appPackage and appActivity capabilities to the appropriate values for the installed app. Here's an example of how you could set the appPackage and appActivity capabilities in a page object function: import { AndroidDriver } from 'appium-android-driver'; class MyPageObject { driver: AndroidDriver; constructor(driver: AndroidDriver) { this.driver = driver; } async launchApp() { await this.driver.startActivity('com.example.package', '.MainActivity'); } } Then, you can call this function in your step definitions as follows: import { Given } from 'cucumber'; import MyPageObject from './MyPageObject'; Given('I launch the app', async function() { const myPageObject = new MyPageObject(this.driver); await myPageObject.launchApp(); }); This will launch the already installed app on the Android emulator.

[@vinayp959]

Hi Raghav, which framework would be best Robot vs BDD cucumber? I need to propose to my client. Please answer

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Vinay, The choice of framework between Robot Framework and BDD Cucumber depends on various factors such as the project requirements, the skills and experience of the team, and the preferences of the client. Both frameworks have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice should be based on what fits best for the project. Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework that supports a wide range of application types and technologies. It has a simple syntax that is easy to learn, and it offers various libraries and plugins for different functionalities. Robot Framework uses a keyword-driven approach, which makes test cases readable and understandable, even for non-technical stakeholders. It also offers support for various test data formats, such as XML and CSV. Robot Framework is suitable for projects where the focus is on test automation and quick feedback. On the other hand, BDD Cucumber is a behavior-driven development framework that promotes collaboration between stakeholders such as developers, testers, and business analysts. It uses plain English sentences to describe the behavior of the system in a way that is easily understood by non-technical stakeholders. BDD Cucumber supports test automation through the use of step definitions and provides the ability to generate reports in various formats. BDD Cucumber is suitable for projects where the focus is on collaboration, communication, and ensuring that the system behaves as expected from the business perspective. In summary, both frameworks have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them should be based on the specific needs and requirements of the project. If the project requires a focus on test automation and quick feedback, Robot Framework might be the better choice. If the project requires collaboration between stakeholders and a focus on ensuring that the system behaves as expected from a business perspective, BDD Cucumber might be the better choice

[@vinayp959]

​@@RaghavPalThankYou very much for your support

[@vinayp959]

​@@RaghavPalcould you please list out disadvantages of robot framework

[@RaghavPal]

Sure, here are some disadvantages of the Robot Framework: Limited language support: Robot Framework only supports a limited set of programming languages such as Python and Java, which may limit its applicability in certain contexts. Limited test automation capabilities: Robot Framework is primarily designed for functional testing and does not offer extensive support for non-functional testing such as performance testing, security testing, or load testing. Steep learning curve: While Robot Framework is designed to be user-friendly, there is still a learning curve associated with understanding its syntax, framework architecture, and integration with other tools. Limited reporting capabilities: The built-in reporting capabilities of Robot Framework are limited and may not provide the level of detail required for complex testing scenarios. Requires additional libraries: While Robot Framework comes with a set of standard libraries, additional libraries are required to support more advanced testing scenarios. It's important to note that these disadvantages may not be significant for all use cases, and the advantages of using Robot Framework may outweigh any potential drawbacks depending on your specific testing needs.

Robocorp Automation Studio is a relatively new open-source RPA tool that has gained popularity in the RPA community. It provides a platform for building and managing software robots, or "bots", that can automate repetitive tasks across a range of applications and systems. One of the biggest advantages of Robocorp Automation Studio is that it is open-source and free to use. This is a significant departure from many of the existing RPA tools, which are often expensive and require significant licensing fees. In terms of its potential impact on the RPA world, it is difficult to predict whether Robocorp Automation Studio will be a "big revolution" in the industry. However, its open-source nature and the growing interest in RPA could certainly make it an important player in the space. Additionally, as an open-source tool, Robocorp Automation Studio has the potential to attract a community of developers and contributors who can help to improve and extend the functionality of the tool. This could lead to a more vibrant ecosystem of RPA tools and applications that are accessible to a wider range of users and organizations. Overall, Robocorp Automation Studio is an exciting development in the RPA world, and it will be interesting to see how it evolves and is adopted by the community over time
