Limitation for Automated Testing

8 limitations to consider when testing web applications with Selenium and JavaScript:

  1. Limited to Web Applications: Selenium is primarily designed for testing web applications running in a browser. It cannot directly test desktop or mobile applications without additional tools or frameworks.
  2. Handling Dynamic Elements: Selenium can struggle with handling highly dynamic web elements, such as those with frequently changing IDs or elements generated through JavaScript. Additional coding techniques like dynamic XPath or CSS selectors may be required.
  3. Handling Pop-ups and Dialogs: Selenium has limited capabilities when it comes to handling browser pop-ups, alerts, and dialogs generated by the operating system. Third-party tools like AutoIT may be needed for such scenarios.
  4. Limited Reporting: Selenium does not provide built-in reporting mechanisms for test results. Integration with third-party reporting tools like TestNG or custom reporting solutions is often necessary.
  5. Image and Captcha Testing: Selenium cannot perform image-based testing or handle captchas out of the box. Additional tools like Sikuli or third-party captcha solving services may be required.
  6. Performance Limitations: For large-scale testing scenarios with numerous parallel executions, Selenium’s performance may be limited, and additional infrastructure or cloud-based solutions may be needed.
  7. Browser Compatibility Issues: While Selenium supports multiple browsers, there can be compatibility issues or differences in behavior across different browser versions, which may require additional handling.
  8. Steep Learning Curve: Selenium has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners, as it requires programming skills and understanding of various concepts like locators, waits, and synchronization.

How to update an entity not related to the data model

An easy way to update an entity which is not related to the data model is to use the CEntityManager method called GetEntity. This comes in handy when the SOA layer is not accessible as this is the only way you can perform this operation.

How to Keep Track of Deployments (Bizagi)

Bizagi is a very peculiar tool when it comes to deployments and if you are not well organized, things can go south pretty quickly.

In my current project, the production environment is in use 24/7 and the opportunities for a new release window are slim to none. So, imagine having issues in production just because you forgot to import the values of a new parameter entity.

Date, DateTime data types

Convert Date or DateTime to String data type

var sDateTimeFormatted = dDateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm");
var sDateFormatted = dDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

Or you could use String.Format

var sDateFormatted = System.String.Format("{0:d}",DateTime.Now);

Use this to convert it for XML

var dTransactionDate = DateTime.Now;
var sTransactionDate = XmlConvert.ToString(dTransactionDate, XmlDateTimeSerializationMode.Unspecified);

Dates as filters for entities

[dDateDelivered != null AND dDateDelivered >= '08/22/2019 12:00:00 AM']

Bizagi’s way

<format-date(<XPath>,"format")>

Escape Character in Bizagi

Use backslash (\) for string escape. See the following examples:

var sAttribute = "test";
var xCollection= Me.getXPath("entity-list(\"mEntity\", \"sAttribute = '"+ sAttribute +"' AND bActive = 1\")");
var xCollection= Me.getXPath("entity-list('mEntity','sAttribute = \"test\" ')");

Excel Conditional Formatting

Whenever you want to want to use a formula, I found it easier to do this trick. Create the formula next to the column you want to apply the formatting. In the case below, I want to check if the value is greater than 100 (=A2>100, =A2>100 etc)
