What is a Web Service?



Def1: Simply a Web Service is a method of communication (REQUEST + RESPONSE) between two electronic devices/machines over a network. Web services are self-contained applications that can run across the Internet on a variety of platforms.
Def2: A web service is a way of calling a function which is inside a software from some other software
Def 3: Web Services is a way to establish communication between software’s which could be running on different machines (different platforms or operating systems), having been developed using different languages e.g. java, .net, c++ etc.

Why we use Web Services?

·         Web Services can implement in a SOA structure
·         Web service is used to communicate 2 machines irrespective of their language support (i.e. machine1 supports Java and machine2 supports Dot Net) – Language Independent
·         It is a platform independent (A cross-platform, cross-language data model, facilitates the development of heterogeneous distributed applications)
·         It provides re-usability of functions/code (Reusing functionality of already developed (old) systems in new software’s)
·         Accessibility of applications through firewalls using Web Protocols(XML/HTTP) for Interoperability
·         It supports ‘Loosely Coupled systems’ (i.e. loose coupling (or loosely coupled) is a type of coupling that describes how multiple computer systems, even those using incompatible technologies, can be joined together for transactions, regardless of hardware, software and other functional components)

Types of Recording

Types of Recording: 4 types of recording modes are available Ø   Basic Ø   Desktop Ø   Web Ø   Citrix 2 ways of Recording Ø   Automatic Ø   Manual Basic – generates a full selector for each activity and no container, the resulted automation is slower than one that uses containers and is suitable for single activities. Desktop – suitable for all types of desktop apps and multiple actions; it is faster than the Basic recorder, and generates a container (with the selector of the top-level window) in which activities are enclosed, and partial selectors for each activity. Web – designed for recording in web apps and browsers (supported: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), generates containers and uses the Simulate Type/Click input method by default. Citrix – used to record virtualized environments (VNC, virtual machines, Citrix, etc.) or SAP, permits only image, text and keyboard automation, and requires explici...

Defect/Bug Life Cycle

Bug Life Cycle: It is a cycle in which a defect goes through different phases during its lifetime The Journey of a Defect/Bug from its NEW (or Born/Found ) state to Close (or END/Fixed ) state, so this journey of a cycle is known as ‘ BUG LIFE CYCLE ’. We can also called it as ‘ DEFECT LIFE CYCLE ’ 1.        New:  When a defect is logged and posted for the first time. It’s state is given as new. 2.        Assigned:  After the tester has posted the bug, the lead of the tester approves that the bug is genuine and he assigns the bug to corresponding developer and the developer team. It’s state given as assigned. 3.        Open:  At  this state the developer has started analyzing and working on the defect fix. 4.        Fixed:  When developer makes necessary code changes and verifies the changes then he/she can make bu...
