1.  Introduction to REST API Testing 1.1. What is an API? An API (Application Programming Interface) defines the methods, protocols, and tools for building software applications. It specifies how different software components should interact with each other. In our social media application, the API provides a set of endpoints and rules for accessing and manipulating user profiles. The API documentation defines the available endpoints, the required parameters, the expected response format, and any authentication requirements. Developers can use this API to integrate social media features into their own applications. Table of Contents: 1. Introduction to REST API Testing      1.1. What is an API?      1.2.

Artificial Intelligence Chatting Robots, or chatbots, have come a long way since their inception. What began as simple text-based programs with predefined responses has evolved into sophisticated conversational agents capable of understanding and generating natural language. In this blog, we'll take a journey through the fascinating evolution of AI chatting robots, exploring their humble beginnings, key milestones, and the powerful technologies that drive them today. 1. The Birth of ELIZA: The First Chatbot ELIZA, developed by Joseph Weizenbaum in the mid-1960s, is often regarded as the pioneer of chatbot technology. ELIZA was primarily designed as a simple rule-based program that could simulate Rogerian psychotherapy sessions. It utilized pattern matching and predefined scripts to mimic human conversation. ELIZA would respond to users by mirroring their statements and asking open-ended questions, creating the illusion of a therapeutic dialogue. Example: User: "I'm feelin...

  4. Automating Native Mobile Apps with Appium Now that we have set up the environment for Appium, we can move on to the actual testing process. In this section, we will create a basic Appium test that interacts with a mobile application. 4.1 Appium Commands for Interacting with Mobile Elements (Taps, Swipes, Inputs, etc.) In this section of the tutorial, we will explore the commands and methods available in Appium for interacting with mobile elements such as taps, swipes, inputs, and more. These commands are essential for automating interactions with mobile apps during testing. We'll cover the commonly used commands and their usage in Appium using the Java client. Locating Mobile Elements: i. Use the findElement(By locator) method to locate a single element based on a specified locator strategy (e.g., ID, XPath, class name). ii. Use the findElements(By locator) method to locate multiple elements based on the same locator strategy. Example : java Copy code MobileElement element ...
