AI in Software Testing

AI Testing In the span of only a few months, AI has reshaped the landscape of almost every industry around the world in both positive and negative ways. Indeed, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this groundbreaking technology, but if businesses don’t embrace it, they’re sure to be left behind. In the QA industry, “AI testing” will become the norm in the next few years, bringing incredible advancements in the way we think and do software testing. In this article, we’ll explore the concept of AI testing in-depth, see how AI can optimize testing, and share the pioneering AI testing tools that you can leverage to transform your QA workflows. What is AI? Before diving into the concept of AI testing, we must first have a common understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has become a buzzword recently after the introduction of ChatGPT – a revolutionizing chatbot. So, what is AI? AI can be defined as the simulation of human intelligence via machines that are programmed to

MIND MAP - A ULTIMATE THINKING TOOL FOR SOFTWARE TESTING

I am the only tester in my team testing all Android, iOS and web projects. Traditional way to prepare test documentations like test strategy, Test Plan and test cases takes  more time. It's not possible for me to keep track all the features I have tested and need to test when I am having a multiple project's release on the same day . Still doing conventional approach of testing, i.e. maintain and execute test cases and mark them as "Pass/Fail". Getting limited time for testing because of maintaining all these test documents. In some releases I have missed lots of scenarios/functionalities to test due to less time for testing and this makes me unhappy after every release. After a long search I came to know the blog about "Mobile Testing Mind Map" in adventuresinqa.com.  A mind map technique helped me to design rapid, clear, higher coverage and more efficient test cases using mind map technique. Then, I started using this technique for all the projects.

Test Android app battery consumption with Battery Historian Tool

Requirement:-  1. Android ADB 2. Download the open source Battery Historian python script from GitHub.       https://github.com/google/battery-historian . 3. Unzip the file to extract the Battery Historian folder. Inside the folder, find the historian.py  file and move it to the Android SDK platform-tools folder.            Steps:- 1.  Connect your mobile device to the computer. 2.  On your computer, open a terminal window. 3.  Change to the directory where you have saved historian.py.        D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools> 4.  Shut down your running adb server.       >adb kill-server 5.  Restart your adb server.          D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools> adb start-server 6.  Check for connected devices.          D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools> adb devices 7.  Reset battery data gathering.       D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell dumpsys batterystats --reset       Output: -  Battery Stats reset       Note : - Resetting era

Collect console logs for iOS devices

Mostly I work in a windows environment and it is necessary to get console logs for iOS devices to find out the root cause of the issue. We can get iOS app crash log from this path ( C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DSS-Iphone 6 ) in windows machine using iTunes. But we need an entire app log to understand what goes wrong in the application. And after some research, I found iTools which allow you to manage iOS devices and also show entire device logs. This tool helps me to do my testing. As per my understanding, this tool will not run without iTunes. iTools was also affected by the latest iTunes update. Now I have found some other tool called 'iOSLogInfo'. Download and run iOSLogInfo to get console log for iOS devices in windows. Requirements:- iOSLogInfo ( Download link - https://www.blackberry.com/blackberrytraining/web/KB_Resources/KB36986_iOSLogInfo_4.3.4.zip    ) iTunes for windows Steps:- Download and save iOSLogInfo z

Now open Monkey Talk\monkeytalk\agents\android\ monkeytalk-agent-2.0.5.jar folder that we downloaded in step 1. Drag & copy the agent.jar file in libs folder. 7. Now Right Click on newly c

Sensors in Mobile devices

Modern mobile phones come with a variety of sensors that automate or easy many of our daily tasks. This field takes into account the presence of an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a compass, and a barometer. Accelerometer and gyroscope:- Accelerometers in mobile phones are used to detect the orientation of the phone. The gyroscope, or gyro for short, adds an additional dimension to the information supplied by the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist. An accelerometer measures linear acceleration of movement, while a gyro on the other hand measures the angular rotational velocity. Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but will not be able to resolve its lateral orientation or tilt during that movement accurately unless a gyro is there to fill in that info. With an accelerometer you can either get a really "

Types of provisioning profiles:-

There are four types of provisioning profiles. They are  Development ,  App Store ,  Ad-Hoc , and  Enterprise .  T hey are used for different purposes and should be only used for those purposes. Development provisioning profiles:- Development Provisioning profiles are used only while developing an application. Developers use these profiles so that they can actively debug their code, and test on different devices.  They are not designed to be used for mass distribution.  Only use these profiles for development and debug builds. These are assigned to individual developers and are used to identify them.  Also, Development Provisioning Profiles can only be created with Development Signing Certificates (this is important to remember). Ad hoc distribution provisioning profiles:- Ad hoc testing is when you have completed development and want to distribute your app to multiple users for testing (your second question). Just create a di
