I see two types of check with Selenium – verification and assertion, what’s the difference between tow?

       A verification check lets test execution continue even in the wake of failure with check, while assertion stops the test execution. Consider an example of checking text, Header on a page, you may like to use verification point and let test execution continue even if text is not present. But for a login page, you would like to add assertion for presence of text box login as it does not make sense continuing with test execution if login text box is not present

In simple language, when a test case is executed by Selenium ide and Verify command is come then test is do not stoped by selenium, if some text is not verify or presence in web page then selenium ide execute the next step but in assert case is different, when a test case is execute and assert command come for execution and assert text is not presence then selenium ide stop the execution of that test and other step will not executed.

Uncheck, Check, CheckandWait, UncheckAndWait command In selenium IDE

Use of Selenium Uncheck, Check, CheckandWait, UncheckAndWait command,

In selenium IDE, Check, Uncheck, Checkandwait and UncheckandWait command is use for Radio button and check box, because when we saw the Radio and check box button we can clicked on it, Check command is use to clicked on the Radio button or check box and Uncheck command is vice versa of the Check command.

Through Selenium IDE we can clicked on radio button and check box automatically,

For automation testing we need the name, Xpath, Css path, id of the element to do proper testing, if check box, Radio button present in the web page so they ID, name Xpath etc. We if we record web page using selenium ide then it take xpath or name as depend on it, but if you write script manually then you have to find the Xpath or name of that element and for find the name or xpath you have to use firebug addons.

Below is the Example of Check and Un check command.

Command Target Value
open                    https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?                  
                          service=mail&continue=

verifyText                      css=span   Stay signed in
uncheck                         id=PersistentCookie

we can use above command when we click on any radio or checkbox button and after clicking on button page take some time to load the content.

Jmeter Basic Description

In Software testing we have mainly two type of testing

• Function testing
• Non Function testing

Jmeter is come under non function testing. Load testing is perform to identify system Behaviour under normal and Peak condition (maximum user). Through load testing we can identify load of website or we can say that how many user can access this site without any disturbance or interrupt and  as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation.
E.g. If the number of users are increased then how much CPU, memory will be consumed, what is the network and bandwidth response time.
1000 or more than 1000 user can access the site server goes down and response time of website is decrease.
In market there is so many tools for load testing but Jmeter is a open source tools and it support java language

Jmeter  is use to perform "Load testing" and Jmeter is very helpful to find load or stress of our application,
