Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ? Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website? I am very new to web test automation. Any help would be appreciated.
Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ?
Yes, but if you write the tests in the code of the project if you encounter any issues you could always ask a dev who is familiar with the code base. When you use another language you're risking having a resource familiar with the language to ask.
Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website?
Yes you can use firebug to find the css id, xpath, etc. If you're using Chrome the web developer settings has these features built in.
It doesn't matter for the driver whats the underline technology powers the site under test. That being said if you want to hook up into the back end for better reporting etc it would be easier to do with the same language

I would like to ask if Geb supports multi browser testing. i.e. testing same scenario at a time in two different browser on one execution?
geb is built on top of Selenium WebDriver which supports most browsers. See here for geb config for various browsers
I just posted and example app for this. you can create a gradel task to spin through and execute the tests for each browser in the gebconfig. Firefox is a bit of a mess at the moment. link why is provided in the sample gebconfig

Sorry if this is a noop question, but I'm pretty new to Dart.
I wonder if someone has good links or ideas for best practices for develop and debug a Dart application in a node.js environment. I can start a standalone Dart app and call a rest api using absolute url, but I think the Dart app should be served using node.js and the urls should be relative. In production we also need to serve the js compiled app. Do you know how to build a good development environment, near to production?
You can create a launch configuration in DartEditor to be able to use the debugger with another web server.
https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=3748 (sorry couldn't find a better ressource)
The Dartium built in debugger (Chrome developer tools) works pretty well too with Dart.
You will loose some features like transformers as pub serve uses it though.
I guess the best for development is to set Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in your node.js server and develop with the web server built in in DartEditor (dart: debugging client/server communication for dart client and existing rest api?).
For testing and bug-fixing in an environment similar to the deployment environment use the configuration described above.
Dart is just like static files for the server. You don't loose much when you don't use node.js for serving Dart.
I want to develop mobile apps based on HTML, JS. It must work on any device etc iphone, ipad, android and windows phone...
I must use JAVA EE on server side. First I choosed Dxtreme. after I learned dxtreme, it is possible REST Service using ASP.NET Web API. But it is inpossible on Java EE. following error :
But call along #POST, #PUT and #DELETE methods throws error
"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.restserver/Service/item. Origin
http://www.localhost:51140 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin".
I believe there must be something that people must be using SOAP or REST Service on Mobile.
Which mobile framework is it possible ?
Please help me.
Thanks.
have You read About Phonegap?U can use phonegap to build application that can work around different Mobile platform.Its uses HTML5,CSS3,Javascript.Hope this helps you......
Generally, people access web services using RESTful interfaces on the server end. You can create that with ASP.NET Web API and many other server side frameworks of course. Your error, I'm guessing, but not sure, is from your client application. If I'm correct, you are probably running some simulator or the app within a browser client, and not one of the mobile framework simulators, and are running into the problem where the browser restricts your access to services on systems other than the site your started with. I.e. if you got to myboringwebpage.com and try to look up something on api.twitter.com within the app, the browser will stop you unless you add certain things to your web server/page telling the browser that that is OK. Look up "CORS". With Icenium, if you use the browser development environment "Mist" you will get those issues. If you use the Windows environment "Graphite" there is no such restriction. If you use the Intel HTML5 XDK at http://html5m.com/, it runs some process to get around those issues, while running a simulator in a browser. If you end up building PhoneGap apps, which you can using Icenium, appery.io, Intel HTML5 XDK, PhoneGap Build and others, the built app, installed on the phone, will not be restricted as an in-browser "app" would. However, I had problems with the Intel framework's XHR code handling all the different methods. Sorry this probably doesn't cover everything you need - you'll have to live and learn a lot of this.
Is there any way to run Silverlight tests without opening the browser? It takes some time to open the browser. if you are doing TDD, you may not like it.
I don´t think so.
for Silverlights Sandbox has to be astablished to test apainst and the sandbox does life in the browser , I can´t see a way to achiev this.
Regards Ren
You can test the Out Of Browser (OOB) version of your application instead. To do this, add a call to Application.Install() within your application, run it, and then in Visual Studio debug the Silverlight project itself rather than the ASP.NET project.
Once installed, you can also run the OOB version of the application from the command-line using "sllauncher.exe". To get the right parameters for sllauncher, look at the properties of the shortcut the installer creates for your app.
Even though you can use the sllauncher.exe - it still runs in using an IEFrame - hence effectively still uses a browser to host the SL sandbox. Sure, you won't see the browser in the regular sense.
With more and more code pushed to the Views in Asp.Net MVC (i.e. AJAX, JQuery, etc...), how do you maintain the 'testability'?
How do you test your Views?
How do you test your views with client-side jscript code?
How do you test your Views with Async behavior?
It seems that most examples on the testability of MVC deal with controllers. What about Views?
Selenium is a great tool for testing the front end of any web app. It is written in the browser's native language, JavaScript. Having the browser run the test framework code gives your tests the ability to expose browser incompatibility issues. It is free and open source.
Also see other free browser automation tools like ArtOfTest and WatiN. The Selenium stack can be a little complicated to set up.
