[@pritambhar5117]

Hello sir, Please upload a video regarding POM and report generation in teat cafe

[@RaghavPal]

Sure, i will plan Pritam

[@sushobhansen7536]

Thank you sir, Please upload Testcafe with POM . So we have an idea full project setup. Also a full project view with Test cafe .

[@RaghavPal]

Sure, will try Sushobhan

[@samyourwell-wisher7008]

Excellent video sir ji,can you please make video on automation for organisation level for perticular private browser website which is behind the fire wall only can be accessible with SSO on cloud with vm, please

[@RaghavPal]

I will try Sam

[@sushobhansen7536]

Sir, Can you suggest me about security testing videos

[@RaghavPal]

As of now I have not created. Can check available videos here - automationstepbystep.com/

[@subashiniv5167]

Hi Sir,
Could you please let me know how selenium and worksoft API works.

[@RaghavPal]

Subashini
I have not tried but here is some info that can help:
Selenium and Worksoft API are both tools used for software testing, but they serve different purposes and have distinct functionalities.
**Selenium** is a popular open-source automation framework primarily used for functional testing of web applications. It allows you to write automated scripts to simulate user interactions in a web browser, such as clicking on elements, filling in forms, and submitting data. Selenium is language-independent and supports various programming languages, making it a versatile tool for automating web application testing.
**Worksoft API** is a comprehensive test automation platform that encompasses API testing, RPA (Robotic Process Automation), and test data management. It provides a suite of tools for automating API interactions, creating test cases, managing test data, and integrating with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Worksoft API offers a more comprehensive solution for test automation, particularly in environments with complex API interactions and data dependencies.
**Key Differences:**
- **Purpose:** Selenium primarily focuses on functional testing of web applications, while Worksoft API caters to API testing, RPA, and test data management.
- **Scope:** Selenium is primarily limited to web automation, while Worksoft API provides a broader scope, encompassing API testing, RPA, and test data management.
- **Automation Approach:** Selenium utilizes scripting languages like Python or Java to automate user interactions, while Worksoft API offers a codeless or low-code approach to automation, enabling testers to create test cases without extensive programming knowledge.
- **Integration:** Selenium can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines, but it requires manual configuration and scripting. Worksoft API provides seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated test execution and reporting.
**When to Use Selenium:**
- Use Selenium for functional testing of web applications
- Use Selenium when you need granular control over user interactions
- Use Selenium when you have strong programming skills and prefer scripting
**When to Use Worksoft API:**
- Use Worksoft API for API testing, RPA, and test data management
- Use Worksoft API when you need a comprehensive test automation solution
- Use Worksoft API when you prefer a codeless or low-code approach to automation
- Use Worksoft API for seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines
In summary, Selenium is a powerful tool for functional web testing, while Worksoft API provides a broader test automation solution encompassing API testing, RPA, and test data management. The choice between the two depends on the specific testing needs, automation preferences, and integration requirements of your project.

Any methods, cypress or selenium,in my org chrome is blocked using cypress,how can we overcome this on vm

[@RaghavPal]

Testing web applications using automation tools like Cypress or Selenium is often restricted due to security policies or browser restrictions. If Chrome is blocked in your organization and you need to test web applications using Cypress on a virtual machine (VM), you can consider the following approaches:
1. **Utilize a Headless Chrome Browser:**
While Chrome might be blocked for general usage, you could potentially leverage a headless Chrome browser instance within your VM. Headless Chrome operates without a visible user interface, allowing it to run in the background and avoid detection by security policies.
2. **Employ a VPN or Proxy Server:**
Another option is to utilize a VPN or proxy server to route your web traffic through an external server, effectively masking your organization's IP address and bypassing the Chrome block. This can enable Cypress to access the internet and perform web automation.
3. **Consider Alternative Automation Tools:**
If using a headless Chrome browser or a VPN/proxy proves challenging, consider exploring alternative automation tools that are not blocked in your organization. For instance, you could try using Playwright, which supports multiple browsers, including Chromium-based headless browsers.
4. **Request Policy Exceptions:**
Engage with your organization's IT department or security team to discuss the need for web automation and request an exception to the Chrome block policy. Explain the benefits of web automation and how it contributes to application quality and testing efficiency.
5. **Leverage Docker Containers:**
Utilize Docker containers to isolate your Cypress testing environment from the organization's network and security restrictions. Docker containers provide a self-contained environment where you can install and run Chrome without affecting the host machine's configuration.
6. **Employ Cloud-Based Testing Solutions:**
Consider using cloud-based testing solutions, such as BrowserStack or Sauce Labs, which provide access to various browsers and operating systems in a remote environment. This can bypass the Chrome block on your organization's network.
Remember to evaluate the feasibility of each approach based on your organization's policies, technical limitations, and testing requirements.
