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 […]

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 […]
HTTP requests using Rust Reqwest
About Reqwest At Qxf2, we have always been curious to constantly learn and discover new possibilities and insights.
