In our previous blog post, I introduced the Streaming Data Generator, developed at Qxf2 and explored its capabilities in creating diverse data streams. Today, I want to delve into a specific and practical application – creating complex data streams by combining data from multiple endpoints. This method can help simulate real-world scenarios that are challenging to replicate with simple data […]
Using Streaming Data Generator to Create Complex Data Streams
Enhance Test Reproducibility With Streaming Data Generator App
Welcome to Qxf2’s Streaming Data Generator application! This tool makes it easy to generate and stream various kinds of synthetic data, helping with reproducible testing. Built with FastAPI, our app produces streaming data in different waveforms and distributions. It can also generate data with anomalies like random, random-square, clustered, etc. Access this data through HTTP endpoints, making it simple to […]
Introduction to Chrono Crate in Rust
Qxf2 is writing about commonly used Rust libraries. This series of posts is aimed at testers (like us) who want to start using Rust as part of their daily work. In this post, we will show you how to use Chrono. Chrono aims to provide all functionality needed to do correct operations on dates and times. Getting Started Setting up […]
How we debugged a Flask session error
Qxf2‘s CI test started failing recently, debugging the error helped us learn about an important aspect of serving Flask application using Uvicorn workers. In this short post I will be going over the details on how we went about identifying the error. Understanding the problem We started with the pytest output summary for the failed API test to validate our […]
Enhancements to Mobile testing in Qxf2 Page Object Model framework
Qxf2’s Page Object Model framework has been a dependable automation framework for mobile testing. Team Qxf2 has added support for all the major gestures to our framework. In this blog, we’ll explore these mobile capabilities that were added to our framework. 1. Swipe until an element is found Swiping is a common gesture in mobile applications, used to navigate through […]
Open sourcing Newsletter Generator using Terraform
This post aims to help testers create a test environment for practicing testing microservice-based architecture. A lot of testers would like to learn how to test applications that are loosely coupled microservices. But testing these applications generally require access to cloud based infrastructure. So the most common way professional testers first test such applications is at their day job. This […]
Troubleshooting Zoom out issue in Appium
Qxf2 has steadily been improving the mobile automation capabilities of our Test automation framework that wraps around Appium. We wanted to add support for the traditional pinch-to-zoom method in our framework. To achieve this, we used the SwagLabs as the application under test and developed this feature. In this post, we’ll discuss a particular challenge we faced with the zoom […]
Weather Shopper: Practical way to learn Appium and Programming Language
This post is for testers who are new to programming and looking to learn mobile test automation. Qxf2 Services has developed an Android application – Weather Shopper, to help testers practice Android app automation using Appium and learn programming languages simultaneously. You can get the application from Google Play Store here. Weather Shopper application offers a rich set of mobile […]
Isolating data for testing using Testcontainers
Learn how to use database Testcontainers with your pytest code. In this post, we take a contrived but illustrative example to show you how to use a MySQL Testcontainer with pytest to test an algorithm that works on external data. Background Products that run algorithms/analytics on external data (e.g.: data quality tools, JIRA plugins, etc.) present a unique challenge when […]
API Endpoint monitoring using Sematext
Qxf2 had a request to help identify a tool for monitoring API endpoints in one of our client engagements recently. The client wanted a tool with a UI, intuitive configuration and easy maintenance to monitor their changing API endpoints. Additionally, we needed to be able to verify a response body as part of monitoring the endpoint. Our usual tool belt […]
