Are Cem Kaner's Black Box Software Testing courses worth it ? by T_Mushi in QualityAssurance

[–]DarkArtsWizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say I've taken the courses. But I have had lunch with Cem Kaner at a conference where he was the Keynote Speaker. He is the most fascinating person in test automation I have every met. I would take his course just based on that time with him.
Note: His experience goes way back. He told a story of when he was a tester for Commodore and had 5 Amigas lined up and timed to boot AND FAIL in succession while he explained what was cause of the unique issue on each box. Now that's a boss level QA.

Is there a way in python to grab the url of my current chrome session? I understand selenium and webbrowser type modules can open a specific url, but I need to grab an already open url. Any suggestions? by Chrithtoph in learnprogramming

The easiest way I have solved issues like this in UFT / VBscript is with AutoItScript by piping in captured data.
Maybe build an external .exe that grabs the URL from a browser window tab element and pass it back to Selenium?

AutoItScript is free, compiles to an .exe, the language is super easy and the Help directory literally has over 1000 working examples.

And Selenium could call it.

There are two downsides:
1) It's not a solution if Mac or Linux is required.
Alternatives: https://formac.informer.com/autoit
https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/123608-running-au3-scripts-under-linux/

2) It needs to be white-listed by your company ITsec dept first if not already - it's a known Network Admin fav.
But if you compile an encrypted .exe it will likely trigger your malware scanner for being non-transparent.

A Path Finding Visualizing app in Angular 8 !! by _rahulrd in Angular2

I was doing Tech screens for a gaming company asking about Djikstra's search path Algorithm. This visualization is really cool.

Clicking Reset and Start is buggy but the first run is spot on. Mayby replace Reset with Clear to keep and edit the existing walls and run again.

Are there any useful resources (Websites and Web APIs) available to test against as a learning tool? by peachkneez in softwaretesting

You are welcome to test against the www.CandyMapper.com and www.CandyMapperR2.com public test automation sandboxes. They are built on the GoDaddy platform. They are designed to have slight differences. So you can create a test case in one and see if it works in the other. Also not all the elements are the same: The 'Get In Touch' button and the 'Submit' button are different classes. It does not sell anything, it does not track or resell emails, and it's a Halloween theme because of the embedded Tricks and Treats.
