import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.edge.EdgeDriver;

public class EdgeTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Set the path to the Microsoft Edge driver
    System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", "path/to/MicrosoftWebDriver.exe");

    // Create a new instance of the Edge driver
    WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();

    // Open a new browser window and navigate to a website
    driver.get("http://www.example.com");
  }
}

Note that you need to download and install the Microsoft WebDriver server in order to use the EdgeDriver class. You can find the download link and instructions on how to install the WebDriver server on the Selenium website.

Faster software development is important because it saves time and money.

In a business world that is more competitive than ever before, it’s important to be able to develop software as quickly as possible. Today’s software developers need to be able to build out new features for the company’s product or service, and they need to do so quickly. The faster that this can happen, the less time is wasted, which means that companies will be more prepared and have a higher chance of success in this competitive market.

What Practices Will Help You Speed Up Your Software Development?

1. Shift Left through Automation
2. Implement CI/CD
3. Automate as many tasks as possible – coding, data entry, testing, etc.
4. Make defects visible so they can be fixed early and often – unit testing, nightly builds, etc.
5. Know what you want before you build it – are requirements clear? does the design make sense? are there risks or side effects we should know about?
6. Do things in parallel wherever possible – running multiple tests, running multiple code reviews at the same time, etc.
7. Be responsive to changes in requirements and design from stakeholders and teammates
8. Limit your work in progress

The test pyramid has four layers – unit tests, service tests, integration tests, end-to-end or acceptance tests. By dividing up the different types of tests into these levels, it becomes easier to decide what type of testing needs to be done when building and maintaining software.

At the bottom are unit tests. Unit tests are “white box” tests because they interact directly with product code. They typically perform operations on functions, methods, and classes. Unit tests should be concise, to the point, and focused on a single object/variation. They should be devoid of external dependencies and should instead rely on mocks/monkey-patching. These tests took less time to execute.

Integration tests are located in the center. Integration tests examine the point at which two distinct entities come together. They should be “black box” in nature, interacting with actual instances of the product being tested, rather than with code. Integration tests include service call tests (REST, SOAP, and others).

End-to-end tests are at top level. End-to-end tests trace a system’s path. They could be argued to be a multi-step integration test, and they should also be “black box.” Typically, they interact with the product in the same way that a real user would. Web UI tests are an example of integration tests, as they require the entire stack to run.

And manual testing is the cherry on top. Certain types of tests, such as exploratory or usability testing, cannot be automated, but we should always strive to minimize the number of manual tests.

You should be aware that as we progress up the pyramid, three factors begin to increase:

• Costs associated with the development and maintenance of tests
• Time frame for execution
• Possibility of erroneous negatives

Key aspects relating to the software testing pyramid include the following:

Avoid conducting duplicate tests at multiple levels. There is no reason to conduct the same tests at various levels. For instance, if boundary values were validated in unit tests, they should not be repeated in the GUI – you will not obtain any new data.

One should strive to reduce the difficulty of tests whenever possible. For example, you can verify interest calculation on a negative sum at a “medium level” or even at the unit test level. Therefore, why should you do it at the UI level? Lower-level test automation is more efficient; it enables you to identify defects earlier and saves you time and money.

This time Zhimin Zhan provides a number of code examples for improving test maintainability.

When you can run automated tests often, and the application changes all the time, it is important that test scripts are: Quick and easy to maintain. Easy to read.

The leading reason for test automation to fail is that the team fails to maintain its automated scripts. In this article, Zhimin Zhan helps to understand some simple and practical tips at the test steps level that can help you make your automated functional tests more maintainable. These techniques are:

• One Test Script Line for One User Operation
• Default Parameter Value
• Extend function behaviour with optional Hashmap

The importance of RPA for process automation:

• it can improve speed, quality and productivity. It can replace un-intelligent tasks that take up a lot of time with faster and more accurate activity.
• RPA will free your employees up to perform more crucial tasks for your business, as it can take out all the mundane and repetitive jobs that they would typically perform. That way, they can move on to more important work and potentially even upskill in the future.
• RPA can help your organization save time and money, and prepare you for competition.
• Get more out of the data you have: RPA is ideally suited to help parse through large datasets, both structured and unstructured, helping organizations make sense of the data they are collecting.
  We tend to produce so much data that it can be hard to process it all. There is a great opportunity for you to get more out of the data you have – learn what your insights are and see how this can drive efficiency throughout the company.
