In this blog, we'll take a look at eleven interview blunders that are common among job seekers and explain why they can be so detrimental to your chances of landing a job. 1. Arriving late The first impression is the most important one, and arriving late to an interview is a surefire way to make a bad one.

What is Robot Class in Selenium WebDriver?

Selenium can't interact with Window dialogs on it's own. You all must know that Selenium can only handle browser windows and not OS windows. So, when we have to upload any file on a webpage and as soon as we click on the Browse or Upload button, a windows tab opens up from which we have to select the file. We cannot handle that windows tab directly with Selenium WebDriver. But we can use other libraries and integrate them with Selenium code to handle window based dialogs. Robot class is one of them. We can use Robot class to upload or download a file using selenium. What is Robot Class in Selenium WebDriver? Robot Class is used to perform Keyboard actions. It has direct support to perform actions like press and release key. Robot class has key codes for each key present on the keyboard. So, if we want to press any key, then we need to call that key code. In automation we make use of Robot class to handle Windows tabs by interacting with them via virtual keyboard. One i...

Image
Back in August of 2018 the whole testing automation community had been struck by the big news: Simon Stewart, the founding member of Selenium, had officially confirmed the release date and some of the major updates for Selenium 4 at the Selenium Conference in Bangalore. The 4.0 version of the worlds beloved framework for web testing automation was meant to be released by Christmas 2018. Selenium 4 release date Now, those who were familiar with the story behind the Selenium 3.0 release, which was also supposed to happen by Christmas, probably already knew back then, the new version would most likely indeed be finished by Christmas, but probably not in 2018.

As of today (and we are updating the information about Selenium 4.0 release in February 2019) the release of the new version still ...

Some of the best computers to be used for hacking

Well, this is one of  Adrián Lamo ‘s computers: Beautiful, isn’t it? He obviously owns this machine (to “own” something means you can fix it when it breaks, and the above has obviously been fixed many times). Here’s one of my own boxes: Yes, I’m using “box” literally… and yes, we actually installed LEDs  inside the power supply  (hint: there are two circuits inside, high voltage and low voltage; one of them can kill you and burn your house down, while the other will only burn your house down (which may or may not kill you)). It’s eco-friendly, too (the cardboard is biodegradable and the components are from the trash). TL;DR: The best computer for a hacker is one that they own. P.S. Also read  Adrián Lamo's answer to How did Adrian Lamo learn to hack? Possibly the most important aspect of my early computer experience was finally having a computer system that was  mine . I could experiment with it. I could break it and have to fix it. I co...
