As the software is error prone, there should some easy and automated way to test the software application. It is very challenging to test such complicated web applications. Human intervention can be reduced by using automation tools. Selenium is an online web based software testing tool. In this article, we have study the design and functioning of the selenium tool and used it to test various online applications. In order to test an application, testers do need not to learn the selenium web driver tool completely. This tool is helpful for a developer and tester, they can analyse their code owing to screen shot characteristics of framework. It generates the adapted test report to the tester. It is very simple to sustain and restore the test suite for new version of the application by this tool. Keywords—Selenium; Automated Testing; Test Cases; Report Generation I. INTRODUCTION The objective of software testing is to discover faults and errors in a software application. Software testing utilizes more than 50 % time of software development lifecycle. Testing time depends upon the algorithm used, programming language, line of codes, function points, external and internal interfaces [1]. -

COMPUTING FUNDAMENTALS AND OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS IT111 REFERENCENCES: LOCAL AREA NETWORK BY DAVID STAMPER, 2001, HANDS ON NETWORKING FUNDAMENTALS 2ND EDITION MICHAEL PALMER 2013 NETWORKING FUNDAMENTALS Network Structure WHAT IS NETWORK Network • An openwork fabric; netting • A system of interlacing lines, tracks, or channels • Any interconnected system; for example, a television-broadcasting network • A system in which a number of independent computers are linked together to share data and peripherals, such as hard disks and printers Networking • involves connecting computers for the purpose of sharing information and resources STAND ALONE ENVIRONMENT (WORKSTATION) users needed either to print out documents or copy document files to a disk for others to edit or use them. If others made changes to the document, there was no easy way to merge the changes. This was, and still is, known as "working in a stand-alone environment." STAND ALONE ENVIRONMENT (WORKSTATION) Copying files onto floppy disks and giving them to others to copy onto their computers was sometimes referred to as the "sneakernet." GOALS OF COMPUTER NETWORKS • increase efficiency and reduce costs Goals achieved through: • Sharing information (or data) • Sharing hardware and software • Centralizing administration and support More specifically, computers that are part of a network can share: • Documents (memos, spreadsheets, invoices, and so on). • E-mail messages. • Word-processing software. • Project-tracking software. • Illustrations, photographs, videos, and audio files. • Live audio and video broadcasts. • Printers. • Fax machines. • Modems. • CD-ROM drives and other removable drives, such as Zip and Jaz drives. • Hard drives. GOALS OF COMPUTER NETWORK Sharing Information (or Data) • reduces the need for paper communication • increase efficiency • make nearly any type of data available simultaneously to every user who needs it. -

A Framework for Evaluating Performance of Software Testing Tools
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 A Framework For Evaluating Performance Of Software Testing Tools Pramod Mathew Jacob, Prasanna Mani Abstract: Software plays a pivotal role in this technology era. Due to its increased applicable domains, quality of the software being developed is to be monitored and controlled. Software organization follows many testing methodologies to perform quality management. Testing methodologies can be either manual or automated. Automated testing tools got massive acceptability among software professionals due to its enhanced features and functionalities than that of manual testing. There are hundreds of test automation tools available, among which some perform exceptionally well. Due to the availability of large set of tools, it is a herculean task for the project manager to choose the appropriate automation tool, which is suitable for their project domain. In this paper, we derive a software testing tool selection model which evaluates the performance aspects of a script-based testing tool. Experimental evaluation proves that, it can be used to compare and evaluate various performance characteristics of commercially accepted test automation tools based on user experience as well as system performance. Index Terms: Automated testing, Software testing, Test script, Testing Tool, Test bed, Verification and Validation. —————————— ◆ —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION S OFTWARE is advanced in recent days by enhancing its applicable domains. Software is embedded in almost all electronic gadgets and systems. In this scenario the quality of the software plays a significant role. The customer or end – user should be satisfied which is primarily depended on quality and capability of the software being developed. -
A Systematic Review on Regression Testing for Web-Based Applications
Journal of Software A Systematic Review on Regression Testing for Web-Based Applications Anis Zarrad* Department of Computer Science and Information Systems, Prince Sultan University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. * Corresponding author. Tel.: +966114948531; email: [email protected] Manuscript submitted December 12, 2014; accepted April 16, 2015. doi: 10.17706/jsw.10.8.971-990 Abstract: Web-based applications and their underlying parts are growing rapidly to offer services over the internet around the world. Web applications play critical roles in various areas such as community development, business, academic, sciences etc. Therefore their correctness and reliability become important factors with each succeeding release. Regression testing is an important means to ensure such factors for every new released version. Regression testing is a verification process to discover the impact of changes in other interconnected modules. With the goal of selecting an appropriate regression testing approach to respond adequately to any changes in Web applications, we conduct a complete systematic study of regression testing techniques in Web applications. Out of 64, we identified a total of 22 papers reporting experiments and case studies. We present a qualitative analysis for used tools, an overview of test case section techniques and empirical study evaluation for every selected work. No approaches were found clearly superior to other since results depend on many varying factors and the deployment environments. We identified the need of evidences where approaches are evaluated cost effective rather than technical description. Key words: Regressing testing, web-based application testing, empirical study, test set, software testing. 1. Introduction In today’s scenario, as the world became global and with the advent of internet technologies, Web-based applications become more effective manner for enterprises, and academic entities to produce business strategies and policies. -
