Qxf2 automation framework supports API testing. We used Mechanize library to make REST calls for our testing framework. As we migrated from Python 2 to Python 3 and since Mechanize is not supported on Python 3 we had to come up with an alternative module compatible with Python 2 & Python 3. We decided to use Requests library. In this […]
Implementing Python Requests library in our automation testing framework
How do you know if you have collaborative agile team?
We have developed team collaboration metrics based on the comment history of Jira tickets. It helps us identify people who are not collaborating well on Jira. It also helps us spot imbalances in teams (e.g.: person X is talking ONLY to person Y, or that person Z is really working well with everyone!). Note: This post is written in continuation with […]
Analyze JIRA data with Python
Most of our clients (Agile software teams) use Atlassian Jira for managing tickets and sprints. Every day, we keep updating the Jira for all tasks that are being worked upon. We realized that Jira has huge project/team data logs but Jira reports were not that helpful in capturing work habits of teams. Hence, Qxf2 has ended up developing an ‘Engineering Benchmarks’ […]
Invoking AWS lambda functions from a Flask app
We have been hearing about serverless service for a while now. So what is serverless? ‘serverless’ means that you run a service without a server. In most cases, if you run a mobile app or an online web app, there are always some tasks to execute in the backend. For eg:- In a weather application, every time when the user […]
Automated cloud testing setup using Selenium grid and Docker Swarm
Maintaining infrastructure for automated Selenium cross-browser tests is time-consuming. The cloud testing platforms like BrowserStack and Saucelabs help you. But in some cases, you want to have your own cloud testing environment. This is usually time-consuming and involves setting up and using Selenium Grid. This post helps testers to automate the setup process for cloud-based testing. We hope this post […]
ReportPortal integration with pytest and pytest markers
Problem: If QA wants to make a difference with their testing and influence decision-making, we should convey our test results clearly. Hence test reporting becomes an important part of testing. There are several test reporting tools available and recently many AI based test reporting tools are getting popular. Integrating with these reporting tools is useful. In this post, we […]
Migrating our automation framework from Python 2 to Python 3
Qxf2’s Selenium, Appium and API test automation framework using the Page Object pattern was built with Python 2. We started receiving a lot of requests for Python 3 support. With Python 2 set to retire by the end of 2020, we migrated our existing Qxf2 automation framework code from Python 2 to Python 3. In this post, we will have a […]
