At Qxf2, we’ve been using BrowserStack for a long time and have also integrated it with our automation framework. We noticed that there aren’t many guides on how to upload logs to BrowserStack and update the test run status in a BrowserStack session. In our previous post, we explained how to upload test logs to a BrowserStack session. Now, in […]
Update BrowserStack session with test run status
Update LambdaTest test session with test run status
In this post, we will show you how to update the test run status on LambdaTest. Although there are many articles online about integrating LambdaTest for running automation tests, most of them do not discuss how to update the test run status and importance of it. This post is a follow up to running test automation on LambdaTest using pytest. […]
Upload test terminal logs to BrowserStack
Qxf2 engineers have used BrowserStack for many years. We added it to our testing framework too. When we check test failures, we use the video from BrowserStack. But seeing the log messages from our framework also helps. Developers find it easier to fix problems when they can see the logs. We noticed that adding this feature made developers more likely […]
Run automation tests on LambdaTest using pytest
Qxf2 has been using popular cross-browser tools like BrowserStack and Sauce Labs for long. Recently, we integrated the LambdaTest tool also with our Page Object Model Framework. So we thought to write about it. In this post, we will guide you through the process of running automation tests on LambdaTest using pytest. We will cover everything from setting up your […]
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 […]
A guide to Regex Crate – 2
Qxf2 is exploring commonly used Rust crates and sharing our learning. We are focused on crates that testers will end up using quite often. We have tried our best to include illustrative examples in order to help testers understand how to use these crates. This blog is continuation to our previous blog on Regex Crate Modules. In this blog we […]
Investigation of the application deployed on Kubernetes
As a tester, we work with applications deployed on Kubernetes. That means, we need to know how to interact with various components of Kubernetes. But most online tutorials start with stuff that applies mostly to developers and DevOps engineers like install, writing deploy scripts, etc. Those are not really useful to testers, at least not directly. So, in this blog, […]
Test Lambda before deployment on CI using LocalStack
In my previous posts, I covered how to write tests for Lambdas, run them on LocalStack and addressed the issue I encountered while working on LocalStack. Now, in this post, I will show you how to set up a GitHub Action job to run tests on LocalStack before deploying Lambdas to production. At Qxf2, we place high importance on CI/CD, […]
LocalStack Issue: Security token included in the request is invalid
While I was engaged in creating tests for our URL Filter Lambda at Qxf2, I encountered a problem related to an invalid security token. You can access the code for our URL Filter on GitHub through the following link here. If you encounter an error message stating “The security token included in the request is invalid” while using LocalStack, it […]
Testing AWS Lambda locally using LocalStack and pytest
Testing loosely coupled microservices requires the use of diverse testing tools. Unlike monoliths, it is challenging to have a complete copy of the production system (System Under Test) for integration testing. Often, developers are hesitant to make changes in the pipeline due to uncertainty about potential downstream impacts. In such cases, it is valuable for developers to test integration components […]
