Selenium webdriver using Eclipse

To start selenium scripting with Eclipse, you need to first install Java Development Kit (JDK) Download and Install Java
Installing eclipse is very easy, First download eclipse . The downloaded file should be a .zip file. Place it in a folder and ensure that you have full read and write permissions. Try to create a shortcut of the eclipse executable file.
You can check in Eclipse from Window->Preferences options, if java is installed and configured successfully on Eclipse. You can also check the java version from command prompt, enter 'java -version' which will display the java version installed on your machine.
Now we will start creating our first program in selenium using java from Eclipse Editor
1.Create new Java Project
[From top menu file->New->Project/Java Project and enter the project name]
2.Create a new Package under Project
[Give any name to the package]
3.Create a new Java class file under the Package
[Give a name to the class]
4. Next add the selenium server Jar files to the Project. Download Selenium Server
[Right click on the Project Name, Mouse over on Build Path and select 'Configure Build Path', Select Libraries tab, Click on Add External Jars and select the selenium server jar from your local machine]
5.Write the script in the Java and execute it.
Please find the below example program to open Google in Firefox browser
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;  
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;  
    public class OpenGoogle {  
     public static void main(String args[]){  
      WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();  
      System.out.println("Hello Google...");  
      driver.get("http://google.com");    
     }  
    }

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool  to stress test your website and  your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running  distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like  AWS , spin up a couple of  EC2 instances  and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses  Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation)  to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...
