Form - User Input Automation

Text boxes WebElement t=driver.findElement(By.id(“username”)); t.sendkeys(“test name”); Buttons WebElement t=driver.findElement(By.id(“createbutton”)); t.click(); DropDown Boxes  WebElement select = driver.findElement(By.tagName("select")); List<WebElement> allOptions = select.findElements(By.tagName("option")); for (WebElement option : allOptions) { System.out.println(String.format("Value is: %s", option.getAttribute("value"))); option.click(); } This will find the first “SELECT” element on the page, and cycle through each of its OPTIONs in turn, printing out their values, and selecting each in turn.

Transition from Test Automation Engineer to Test Engineer

What's the difference? Test Automation Engineer works on automating the Regression Test Suite. Test Engineer ensures the product can be released to the customer.

With more tests being automated, your responsibilities not only include running the complete Regression suite but occasionally validation and verification of the product. There are different documents/sites defining different types of testing and where their usage, however,but finding bugs is a different skill. Though we are testers by role, our analytical minds work like developers as we develop scripts too. We could be biased. When something doesn't work, we look for a workaround and think it's no big deal. This attitude is a deal breaker!Instead use your skills to analyse and break the code. Here I am going to list some of my ideas ...
