Introduction to Apache JMeter

Apache JMeter is a great open source application with awesome testing abilities. Web Server is a platform which carries loads of numbers of applications and users, so that it is necessary to know that how does it works or performs means; how effective it is to handle simultaneous users or applications.
For example; how the “Gmail” supporting server will perform when numbers of users simultaneous access the Gmail account – basically have to do performance testing using performance testing tools like JMeter, Loadrunner etc.
To check the high performance of the application or server, do high performance testing using JMeter for exceptional results.

Before understanding Overview of JMeter, let us have a look on three testing approach,
Performance Test: This test provides the best possible performance of the system or application under a given configuration of infrastructure. Very fast, it also highlights the change need to be made before application goes into production.
Load Test: This test is useful for determining and preceding the system under the top load it was aimed to work under.
Stress Test: This test tries to break the system by crushing its resources.

Features Supported by JMeter:

People really think of that why they should go for JMeter? So, to clear their drought, let us get to know JMeter awesome features,
Open source application: JMeter is a free open source application which facilitates users or developers to use source code for other development or modification purpose.
User – friendly GUI: JMeter comes with natural GUI. It is very simple and easy to use and users get familiar very soon with it.
Platform independent: Although, it is totally a Java based desktop application. That’s why; it can run on any platform. It is highly extensible and capable to load the performance test in many different server types: Web – HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, Database via JDBC, LDAP, JMS, Mail – POP3.
Write your own test: Using plugins, write your own test case to extend the testing process. JMeter uses text editor to create a test plan and supplies in XML format.
Support various testing approach: JMeter supports various testing approach such as Load Testing, Distributed Testing, and Functional Testing, etc.
Simulation: JMeter can simulate various users with simultaneous threads, generate heavy load against web application under test.
Support multi-protocol: JMeter works on web application testing and database server testing, and also supports protocols such as HTTP, JDBC, LDAP, SOAP, JMS, and FTP.
Script Test: JMeter is capable to perform automation testing using Bean Shell &Selenium.
Totally multi-threading framework:. It’s a full multi-threading framework permits simultaneous sampling by many threads and simultaneous sampling of different functions by distinct thread groups.
Easily understandable test result: It visualizes the test result in a format such as chart, table, tree and log file are very simple to understand.
Easy installation step: Just run the“*.bat” file to use JMeter. In Linux/Unix – JMeter can be approached by clicking on JMeter shell script. In Windows – JMeter can be approached by starting the JMeter.bat file.

Test Scenarios for Excel Export Functionality

1. The file should get exported in the proper file extension. 2. The file name for the exported Excel file should be as per the standards e.g. if the file name is using the timestamp, it should get replaced properly with an actual timestamp at the time of exporting the file. 3. Check for date format if exported Excel file contains the date columns. 4. Check number formatting for numeric or currency values. Formatting should be the same as shown on the page. 5. The exported file should have columns with proper column names. 6. Default page sorting should be carried in the exported file as well. 7. Excel file data should be formatted properly with header and footer text, date, page numbers etc. values for all pages. 8. Check if the data displayed on a page and exported Excel file is the same. 9. Check export functionality when pagination is enabled. 10. Check if export button is showing proper icon according to the exported file type E.g . Excel file icon for xls files 11.

Basic Introduction of RPA

  1) What is Robotic Process Automation? ·          Robotic process automation (RPA) is defined by the Institute for Robotic Process Automation (IRPA) as ‘the application of technology allowing employees in a company to configure computer software or a ‘robot’ to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems.’ ·          RPA (Robotic Process Automation) Robotic Process Automation enables you with tools to create your own software robots to automate any business process. Your “bots” are configurable software set up to perform the tasks you assign and control. 2) What Can RPA Do? ·          RPA is software-based, it can be used to perform various tasks. These include maintenance of records, queries, calculations, and transactions. Additionally, any application commonly used by your company can be operated by RPA. ·          For example, Citrix, .NET, HTML,
