Xpath does not query by text well <div>This is <b>Bold</b></div>//div[text()=‘This is Bold’] ?_div(“This is Bold”)Waits are needed at each stepExplicit waits: Have to code for worst case scenarioImplicit waits: Recover and retryTester is forced to understand HTML structures and Javascript nuances. Common Problems
- 3. Proxy based approachInjects Javascript into browserAny Javascript enabled browser, any OSDrives a real browserIdentifies elements smartlyImplicitly waits for AJAX, page loads and timeoutsSahi – Web Test Automation Tool
- 4. //table[@id='listing']/tbody/tr[2]/td[4]/input//table[@id='listing']/tbody/tr[3]/td[4]/inputOr _textbox(“q”, _near(_cell("Core Java")))_textbox(“q”, _near(_cell("Ruby for Rails")))XPathvs Sahi APIs
- 5. Visible properties take precedenceTests should reflect what the tester seesNot what the developer wroteFrames, iframes, layouts are all developer aids to partition information. They need not be visible in tests, though they should be assertable.Waits are inherent in a web application and should be automatically handledSahi Philosophy
- 6. Use various visible attributes firstText, Value, Alt, Title etc.Allow identification in a context_checkbox(“x”, _near(_cell(“name”)))Allow Regular Expression and fuzzy matchesNormalize white spaces across browsersAutomatically look through frames and iframes.Sahi Identification Strategy
- 7. The simplest possible thingWhat is not allowed by the Browser Sandbox, delegate to proxyFile Uploads401 AuthenticationFile downloadsBrowsers may changeJavascript and Proxies are here to stayProxy based approach
- 8. Allows recording, debugging and object identification on any browser via injected JavascriptCan add automation on the flyEven wrap flash/applets etc. when neededMoving between domains, even accessing multi domains in frames/iframes are possible.Proxy based approach
- 9. Allows powerful Sahi APIs, normalized across browsersAllows monitoring of AJAX requests and Frame loads to automatically wait till no activityJavascript events do not require focus, allowing parallel playbackInjected Javascript
