Cloud testing is considered as testing the cloud based applications as we will be using all the resources that are available in the cloud. It means any element like hardware, software and infrastructure is necessary to do all the tests are available in cloud. Cloud testing needs an end-end solution that transforms the way testing is done and will help an organization to gain a competitiveness by reducing the cost of testing without impacting mission-critical applications. By cloud computing services for testing, organisations that lessen the provisioning time as it can be said that cloud computing services for test servers will be on demand. This makes sure the unused servers will not be sitting idle.
Why we consider selenium cloud testing?
Selenium is called as cloud testing tools are having flexibility and perfection. It is adaptable with a wide range of browsers and also provides a good flexibility to provide many test scripts. Selenium gives a strong support to a variety of programming languages that include C#, Java, python and also ruby.
Benefits of Selenium testing tool:
- Cost-effective:Its an open source tool.
- Language-Many languages like Java,Ruby,python and C# are supported.
- Browser-That supports multiple browsers like IE, Mozilla, opera, chrome and safari which will support cross browser testing and can be easily integrated into the newly launched browsers.
- Framework-It assists numerous frameworks like Junit, TestNG, Bromine which makes the automation robust and can develop its own framework.
- Operating system-It also supports many operating systems like windows, Mac.
- Time-saving-All with the help of selenium grid,parallel execution of the test cases that can be done.
Cloud Automation testing using Selenium:
Software applications are web based and also with cloud infrastructure, as they are gaining prominence. They are mostly used cloud servers. Selenium is the most widely used open source solution that meets the requirements of the testing project. Cloud automation using Selenium will be successfully used with the cloud services. Testing the web apps and across the multiple browsers and platforms would be possible. Selenium interacts with web browsers to test the actions, inputs and also expected outcomes and thereby it improves devices and platform coverage.
VOLANSYS Automation Framework for Cloud Testing:
There is an automation framework, which is a strategy for automation. It has a structured path of obtaining quality work with quantity and effectiveness.There are more predefined frameworks in selenium like JUnit, TestNG, NGUnit.
VOLANSYS will carry out a comprehensive analysis of many different selenium automation frameworks that can be found. And none offered a complete benefit. VOLANSYS will have a developed data driven framework to provide an end-end solution for cloud selenium automation testing.
VOLANSYS Selenium data driven framework is an implemented version for the modularisation and abstraction layer.This is purely an excel based automation framework having of 3 layers.
- External layer(Test case layer)
- Application Function layer(It consists of application-related functions)
- Framework Layer(It consists of core frameworks functions)
Each and every test case exists in the external layer and call the function from Application Function Layer and it will invoke the framework layer function. This framework is excel based and every possible test cases and test data will exist in a single excel file which makes this framework easier to manage.
We have integrated this VSDDF with the continuous integration tool Jenkins and also source code management tool Bit Bucket(Git).
The features of VOLANSYS Selenium Data Driven Framework:
- It also works extremely powerful with different browsers such as Mozilla firefox,chrome and opera etc.
- Here the execution that can be triggered automatically at one click are from Jenkins.
- VSDDF will get us a feature for uploading test result to Test Rail using the TestRail API.
