5 Software Testing Infographics Worth Checking Out

Infographic is a nice way to illustrate complex concepts visually. It can also be useful as a quick reference in certain circumstances. No doubt infographics can come in handy for every software testers out there. We have therefore listed down some 5 software testing infographics worth checking out. Indulge into them below.

The Challenges of Mobile App Testing:
This infographic comes from Uber Testers. As the name suggests, it shows challenges involved in testing of mobile apps. It covers some real world challenges like multiple platforms, release frequency, tracking etc in mobile testing. Check it out here.
Website Testing: Move Beyond the Landing Page:
This infographic shows ides to test “inner pages” of a website as well as tips to consider when choosing a testing solution. It covers topics such as testing of various website elements(Eg. buttons, navigation, layout etc), types of testing solution(Eg. client side, server side), things to avoid for making a user friendly site. All in all a good resource to have around. You can find it here.
Online Testing Essentials:

What Makes a Great Tester:
This fun infographic explores various tester “types” and identifies non-IT qualities a good software tester should have. Check it out here.
Web Application Testing using Add-on and Tools:
This one is more of a mind map than an infographic. It shows usage of certain tools and add-ons which can come in handy for various software testing activities. You can find this good resource to quickly find useful tools here.
We hope you would find the above list of software testing infographics useful. We would love to hear your inputs.

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...
