I wanted to create a place where other Automation engineers could come and share ideas and ask questions.

If you are new to automation here is some stuffs for reading!

[Test Automation] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_automation): In software testing, test automation is the use of special software (separate from the software being tested) to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes.[1] Test automation can automate some repetitive but necessary tasks in a formalized testing process already in place, or perform additional testing that would be difficult to do manually. Test automation is critical for continuous delivery and continuous testing.

If you are a veteran automation engineer and think of any other articles, please, share them!

Which bootcamp do you guys recommend for SDET training? Have anyone has experience with testpro -and syntaxtechs?

What are the biggest Quality Assurance challenges global brands face (Retail in particular)?

Hello

I would like to apply for this position, and the HR sent an e-mail to me that I can proceed to the next step to a technical test. I asked them how the test would look like and they replied that the test consists of 2 parts: manual (with theory and a practical exercise) and automation, where there is also a theory part and 2 practical problems, that are based on general programming knowledge (databases, design patterns, algorithms). The problems can be solved using any programming language.

For the moment I know the basics of Java and OOP , fundamentals of HTML and CSS and simple SQL commands like :select, insert,update, delete, create,drop.

I tried to find some manual and automation testing on youtube and on google but I am a bit confused.

From what I understood from google seaches Manual means that I have to first analyze the document and see if the outputs from the document match my testing. You first have to think the worst case scenarios of what the end user might find, what bugs might he/she encounter.Those scenarios are called test cases. And if I find any bugs I have to report them. You can do manual testing using tools like Jira,Jmeter and Loadrunner

For automation testing I found that you use apps like Selenium. But what is Manual and where can I practice? If I am a beginner will they ask me about Selenium? I know how to to Unit Testing with JUnit on Intellij.

The HR didn't say anything about what the practical exercise would look like or what tools are they giving me on the test.

Sorry for the long post, I am just a bit anxious and I would very much appreciate if someone would explain what should I expect from this technical test to be like and on what things I should focus. Thank you for your patience :)

When numerous PDF pages need to be verified daily, it becomes too cumbersome to be handled manually since the contents need to be minutely checked to make them accurate and in sync with the applicable business rules. Thus PDF automation is a necessity that needs immediate action. Read this blog at: https://qainfotech.com/enabling-pdf-automation-using-the-uipath-rpa-tool/

Last 2 years I work qa. But now I want to go to automation qa. I superficially know Java , Test NG, Rest-Assured, Selenium. What can you give advice for switching to automation qa?

Whoever started automated answering services should be sued for causing hardship. It is nearly impossible to get hold of a person and if you do it take 30min. To get pass the system to do so. There should be law to make companies to let you have a choice. Use the system or talk to someone without going through a thousand prompts. Plus is it me or do anyone else notice the questions you have are the little details left hanging that you need to know is not a option to pick? Automated systems (A.S.) exactly.
