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

Rust Selenium Tests for Beginners

The Weather Shopper application – a tool for QA
Qxf2 has been using a web application called Weather Shopper to train our interns on Python and Selenium, interview candidates that list GUI automation as a skill on their resume, validate the capabilities of new GUI automation frameworks, etc. While we shared a write up about this tool several months ago on Reddit, I realized we hadn’t shown it to […]
Chrome not reachable error when running Selenium Python test via Jenkins
Recently when I tried to run my Selenium test on the Chrome browser via Jenkins on the ubuntu machine, I hit with “Chrome not reachable” error whereas when I tried to run directly on the ubuntu machine without triggering the test from Jenkins, it executed with no errors. The same Jenkins job was running fine with the Firefox browser. Problem: When I […]

Qxf2’s automation testing framework uses Python 3
We have updated our open-sourced GUI automation testing framework to use Python3. This update was due for a long time. We have had a lot of requests from people asking for our framework to use Python3 and we finally found the bandwidth needed to migrate to Python3. We will also no longer support Python2. If you already use our framework […]
