Complete RoadMap from Manual QA To QA Automation

In this article I have provided a comprehensive guide about different technologies, frameworks and programming languages that can be used to advance your career. Now if you know or understand one technology from each domain, does not mean you should not learn something new. Grasping more knowledge will always help to create a new perspective, hence keep learning.

Version Control System (VCS)

Tools: Git, SVN

Why?

Use: Track changes, manage source code versions, and facilitate collaboration among team members.

Version Control System (VCS)

CI Servers

Tools: Jenkins, Travis CI, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, CircleCI

Why?

Use: Automate the build, test, and deployment processes triggered by code changes in the version control repository.

Build Automation

Tools: Maven, Gradle (Java), npm (JavaScript), MSBuild (Microsoft)

Why?

Use: Compile source code, manage dependencies, and package the application or testing framework for execution.

Dependency Management

Tools: Maven, Gradle (Java), npm (JavaScript), pip (Python)

Why?

Use: Resolve and manage project dependencies, ensuring that the correct libraries and tools are used during the build process.

Static Code Analysis

Tools: SonarQube, Checkstyle, ESLint, Pylint

Why?

Use: Analyze source code for code quality, identify potential issues, enforce coding standards, and detect security vulnerabilities.

Testing

Frameworks: JUnit, TestNG (Java), NUnit (.NET), pytest (Python), Mocha, Jasmine (JavaScript)

Why?

Use: Verify the correctness of individual components or units of code.

Automation Testing Libraries

Libraries: Selenium WebDriver, Appium, JUnit, TestNG, Cucumber, JBehave, Appium, TestComplete, Robot Framework

Why?

Use: Automate end-to-end and integration tests for the application under test.

Parallel Test Execution

Tools: TestNG (parallel test execution), Selenium Grid, Docker (for parallelizing tests in containers)

Why?

Use: Execute tests concurrently to reduce overall test execution time.

Test Data Management

Tools: Faker (generate fake data), Test Data Management tools

Why?

Use: Manage and generate test data for automated test scenarios.

Continuous Integration as Code

Tools: Jenkinsfile, GitHub Actions workflows, GitLab CI YAML configuration

Why?

Use: Define CI/CD pipelines as code, enabling version control and reproducibility of the CI process.

Environment Virtualization

Tools: Docker, Vagrant

Why?

Use: Create and manage isolated, reproducible environments for testing and deployment.

Notification and Collaboration

Tools: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Email notifications

Why?

Use: Notify team members about build status, test results, and other important events.

Cloud Platforms

Platforms: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform

Why?

Use: Host CI/CD infrastructure, testing environments, and deploy applications.

Collaboration Platforms

Tools: Jira, Confluence, Trello

Why?

Use: Facilitate communication, collaboration, and project management among team members.

These tools and technologies work together to create a robust CI/CD pipeline for automation testing frameworks. The specific tools chosen may depend on the project’s requirements, team preferences, and the technology stack used in the application under test.

Happy Learning!!

Postman Mock Server Tutorial and Uses

  Setup and Use Postman for API Testing Image by: Freepik Postman is one of the most versatile tools for API testing and its automation. In this tutorial we are going to understand the implementation of API testing using Postman as a beginner. Then in upcoming blogs, I’ll be posting blogs for “How I am using Postman for API testing, mocking, documenting, performance, interception and automation” So subscribe for email notification.  Let’s start with first downloading and installing the Postman tool in our machines: Postman is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac as a standalone application. You can install the application in two ways. Windows machine download link: https://dl-agent.pstmn.io/download/latest/win64 (64 bit) Mac OS machine download link: https://dl-agent.pstmn.io/download/latest/osx_arm64 (Apple Chip) Now follow the below steps :  Click on the exe file to install it on the system. First, it will install the Postman application There are no further steps...

Performance Testing Interview Questions

 Top Performance Testing Interview Questions ----------------------------------------------------------- I mage by:  freepik How do you identify performance bottlenecks? Answer: Performance bottlenecks can be identified through various techniques, including: Performance profiling and monitoring tools. Load testing and stress testing. Analyzing system metrics like response times, CPU usage, and memory consumption. Performance counters and logs. Code reviews and analysis. What is the goal of performance tuning? Answer: The goal of performance tuning is to optimize the application’s performance by identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks. It involves making changes to the system configuration, code optimization, database tuning, and resource allocation to improve overall performance. What is a ramp-up in performance testing? Answer: A ramp-up is a gradual increase in the number of virtual users or load over a specific time period during performance testing. It helps simu...
