Adding custom commands to Selenium
Posted in: testing | Add comment
10 Jan 2010In the previous Selenium posts we saw how to use the selenium IDE for testing web pages. In this post we will see how to extend the Selenium IDE by adding our own custom commands.
Selenium IDE offers many useful commands (often called Selenese) for testing purposes. You use this sequence of commands to create various tests. But many times these commands are not sufficient and you need to add your own custom commands. For example a reader recently requested on how to input unique email ids for testing. Of course you can easily do this using the Selenium RC server and a language like PHP or Java. But we want to accomplish this in the IDE itself.
Test dependencies in PHPUnit 3.4

21 Dec 2009PHPUnit has become the de-facto standard for unit testing PHP code. Now in version 3.4, it has added many new and interesting features to its repertoire.
Dependencies in PHPUnit tests
PHPUnit 3.4 now supports dependencies between different test methods. It allows you to execute a particular test ONLY IF the test that it depends on executes successfully. Take the following example (Listing 1.) where we test a linked-list class I developed earlier.
Creating win/win projects using Project Value Analysis
Posted in: software | ( 1 ) Comment
17 Dec 2009From a client’s perspective, the most important criteria when developing any new software is that it adds some ‘value’ to his company. Every software application has some financial and some intangible value attached with it. Without it there would be no reason for a client to invest in developing new software or for that matter, upgrading an existing one. The client has some financial goals in his mind when he proposes to develop some software. He plans to make some profit (financial or otherwise) from the development of the software. Whether the financial gains are immediate or peripheral is a different matter.

11 Dec 2009Most of us use PHP from a IDE or using a simple text editor with a browser, rarely dropping down to the command-line for running php programs. But php provides some interesting and quick options you can use to perform various common tasks or to debug some nasty installation problems. Below is a list of some useful options you should be familiar with.
Sorting PHP arrays with substrings
Posted in: algorithms, data, php | ( 4 ) Comments
10 Dec 2009A couple of days back I encountered the following request on a forum for sorting a single dimensional array. The programmer wanted to sort the following array by the substring after the colon. For example ‘CDF’ in the string ‘66345:CDF’. Those values that do not have any colon should be ignored and pushed to the end of the array. Also, the length of the strings are not constant.
$values = array("66345:CDF", "61179:HGT", "64146:ABA", "68768:BNG", "68015:ZCZ", "80231:LPO", "64146:QWP", "68736:HHB", "86801:MNV", "80178:OIU", "80178:ASE", "88178:BRT", "801782OIU", "801378ASE", "881578BRT"); |
