11 INTERVIEW blunders: That is why so many good people don't get HIRED

-

This is why so many good people don't get HIRED. To start:
  1. Candidates do not get paid for their time.
  2. Interviewers do. It is considered OK to waste candidate’s time, but it is not.
  3. Interviewers come to interviews unprepared and read resumes in front of candidates.
  4. They do not explain what the job is about, what it is like working there, advantages and potentials.
  5. They ask questions like “where do you yourself in 5 years”. Instead they should explain where they see their company in 6 months.
  6. The process takes too long, too many interviewers, too many rounds of interviews.
  7. Interviewers ask the same questions over and over again, making interviews look like interrogation.
  8. Consider paying travel expenses. It is not OK to be generous with someone else's money.
  9. They are looking for MiniMes. Do not hire people to work for you. Hire people to work with, people you can learn from, and eager to learn from you.
  10. They try to find only faults in candidates. Nobody is perfect. They are unwilling to take any risks, looking for that perfect candidate to come along.
  11. They don't get back to candidates. It is better to be rejected, than to be left hanging.
Let's stop treating candidates as applicants. Treat them as people, like you want to be treated. Agree ?

How To Handle Dynamic Xpaths (Web Table) in Selenium WebDriver

In this selenium webdriver post, we will learn how to handle dynamic web table. There might occur some scenarios where every time a page loads with different number of rows and columns or different columns for each row.

For that, we have to put two for loops,
1. first loop will iterate all the rows and
2. second loop inside it will iterate the columns of each row


publicclassDynamicTable{ WebDriver driver =new FirefoxDriver();@BeforeTestpublicvoidsetup()throws Exception { driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get("https://www.techlistic.com/p/demo-selenium-practice.html");}@AfterTestpublicvoidtearDown()throws Exception { driver.quit();}@Testpublicvoidtest_Dynamic_Webtable(){// Locate table WebElement mytable = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='post']/div[1]/table/tbody"));// Locate rows of table and save locators of each row in a list List rows_table = mytable.findEl…

Automation Framework Building 1st step - Implementing Code Re-usablility

In this post, you will learn kind of coding pattern which is very helpful in maintaining our automation code. This post is written insight to help beginners. We'll learn that instead of writing a linear script, we should create page (action) methods which in general contain actions which we are going to perform on our web software. 

Let's say, we have a login functionality in our software and we have to automate it. In that case we'll create a method named login and write the commands like, entering username, password and click login in that method. Now we can use that method wherever we need it in other test cases as well. Benefits of using action methods are:

Code Re-usabilityBetter maintainability of codeSharing below a sample script, in which I'm entering data in a web form using action methods:





You can also place these action methods in some other class like Common.java. And if you want to re-use any of the methods in your Selenium script, just create the object Comm…
