CUCUMBER & JMETER

1) What is BDD?

ANS:-BDD is the software development & testing process , & cucumber was developed to support
BDD.

2) Practices/Phases of BDD?

ANS:- discovery, formulation, and automation

3) what is page factory ?

ANS:- Page Factory is a class provided by Selenium WebDriver to support Page Object Design
patterns. In Page Factory, testers use @FindBy annotation. The initElements method is used to
initialize web elements. @FindBy: An annotation used in Page Factory to locate and declare web
elements using different locators

4) Use of @findby?

ANS:-The @FindBy annotation is used in Page Objects in Selenium tests to specify the object location
strategy for a WebElement or a list of WebElements. Using the PageFactory, these WebElements are
usually initialized when a Page Object is created

5) Scenario Outline ?

ANS:- It is also defined as "Scenario outlines are used when the same test is performed multiple times
with a different combination of values." ... Scenario outline is exactly similar to the scenario
structure, but the only difference is the provision of multiple inputs

6) Background in Cucumber?

ANS:-is used to define a step or series of steps that are common to all the tests in the feature file. It
allows you to add some context to the scenarios for a feature where it is defined. A Background is
much like a scenario containing a number of steps.

7) Samplers in jmeterJMeter samplers include:

FTP Request.

HTTP Request (can be used for SOAP or REST Webservice also)

JDBC Request.

Java object request.

JMS request.

JUnit Test request.

LDAP Request.

1
Mail request.

8) Runner Class -

Ans:-This class will use the Junit annotation @RunWith(), which tells JUnit what is the test runner
class. It more like a starting point for Junit to start executing your tests. In the src folder create a
class called TestRunner.

9) What is correlation?

ANS:- Correlation is basically extracting value from one of the requests which can be used in the
subsequent request or any of the request which must be executed further. For extracting values out
from a request, you need processors. Pre-Processors like HTML LinkParser can extract all links from a
page received in response.

10)Why Json plugin used ?

ANS:-The json plugin can be used to execute action methods from javascript and return the output.

11) Data table in cucumber example

ANS:-Data tables are used when we need to test numerous input parameters of a web application.
For example, the registration form of the new user involves several parameters to test, so for this, we
can use the data table. ... The registration form contains the following parameters: User Name.

12 )Explain complete cucumber ?

Q explain about 3 amigos ?

ANS:- Three Amigos are the key stakeholder who participate in example mapping to start working on
problem domain and confirming acceptance

Three amigos meeting the input is user story and business rules

1) Product Owner: - for identify the scope of the application and converting user stories into features

2) Tester:- for generating test scenarios where the application can break

3) Developer:- to go in details into each requirement how the application will excute and what could
be the hindrances

13) Feature File

ANS:-A feature file is usually a common file which stores feature, scenarios, and feature description
to be tested

14) Step def in cucumber

ANS:-When Cucumber executes a Gherkin step in a scenario, it will look for a matching step definition
to execute.

2
15) explain gherkin keywords

The main keywords in Gherkin are: ?

ANS:-Feature.Scenario.Given, When, Then, And, But (Steps)Background. Scenario outline. Examples.

16) What are the tags used for in cucumber ?

ANS:-In Cucumber, tags are used to associate a test like smoke, regression etc. with a particular
scenario.

17) What is test runner file?

ANS:-main class from where junit begins test execution

18) What if error occurred like no such element found and remedy?

ANS;-The NoSuchElementException is thrown when the element you are attempting to find is not in
the DOM

To fix this, change your findElement to be correct

19) Explain TDD in cucumber ?

ANS:-TDD is a Software Development methodology in which first test cases are written in the form of
stories and then allowed to fail. After that the developers write code to pass the test cases thus
implementing the story or requirement.

20) Gave one scenario and asked how will you write feature file for it ?

Scenario: user should be successfully logged in

Given : The one user is already registered successfully

When : The user enters correct credentials

Then : The user logged in successfully

21) Why cucumber why not selenium or uft ?

ANS:-In Selenium, test scripts can be written in Java, C#, etc., while in Cucumber, test scripts are
written in plain text language according to Gherkin language rules. In Selenium, conditional
statements can be used, while in Cucumber, we cannot use conditional statements.

3
22) what is smoke and sanity ?

ANS:-Smoke Testing is a type of testing which is done to assure that the acute functionalities of
program is working fine. ... Sanity testing is done to check the bugs have been fixed after the build.
Smoke testing is also called subset of acceptance testing. Sanity testing is also called subset of
regression testing

23) what are the best practices in cucumber testing ?

ANS:-Avoid conjunctive steps. ...

Reuse step definitions. ...

Use backgrounds wisely.

24) What's jenkins? How did u use it?

ANS:-it is a free web automation server .it is used to do many sw developments like testing,deploying
etc.

used for continous testing and deployment

25) Isjenkins pulling or pushing the code

ANS:-both push & pull

26)Which file jenkins is executing ?

Q What is the difference between jar and war file?

ANS:-Generally, a JAR file contains Java related resources like libraries, classes etc. JAR file is like
winzip file except that Jar files are platform independent. A WAR file is simply a JAR file but contains
only Web related Java files like Servlets, JSP, HTML

27) Json extractor is post or pre ?

ANS:-The JSON PostProcessor enables you to extract data from JSON responses using JSON-PATH
syntax. This post processor is very similar to Regular Expression Extractor. It must be placed as a child
of HTTP Sampler or any other sampler that has responses.

28)types of report formats ?

Json,html, Junit

4
29) Clone ?

30)What's the difference between BDD and TDD ?

ANS:-BDD is Behavior Driven Development. ... TDD is a development practice while BDD is a team
methodology. In TDD, the developers write the tests while in BDD the automated specifications are
created by users or testers (with developers wiring them to the code under test.)

31)How to Jmeter file ?

ANS:-Download Apache Jmeter-->go to downloads and select bin-->click on windown batch

command file

32) Syntax of opening jmeter in non GUI mode ?

ANS:-jmeter -n –t test.jmx -l testresults.jtl.

33) Extension of jmeter file---> .JMX and extension of log file--->.JTL

34)List Listners ?

ANS:-Following is the list of all Listeners in JMeter:

Graph Results.

Spline Visualizer.

Assertion Results.

Simple Data Writer.

Monitor Results.

Distribution Graph (alpha)

Aggregate Graph.

Mailer Visualizer.

35)How does jenkins triggers builds ?

How manually trigger Jenkins build?

ANS:-The Build Review Action can be invoked manually from within Jenkins. From the Jenkins
dashboard, click the job name in the table. Click Build Review in the sidebar menu. Complete the
form to specify the parameters for build. To trigger the build, click the Build button .Automatically

5
Q How do I trigger a build automatically in Jenkins?

ANS:-In Jenkins, go to the project configuration of the project for which you want to run an
automated build. In the 'Build Triggers' section, select 'Build when a change is pushed to GitHub'.
Save your project. Jenkins will now run the build when you push your code to the GitHub repository.

36) Difference between maven and Jenkins ?

ANS:-A maven is a build tool designed to manage dependencies and the software lifecycle. It is also
designed to work with plugins that allow users to add other tasks to the standard compile, test,
package, install, deploy tasks. Jenkins is designed for the purpose of implementing Continuous
Integration (CI).

37)Is there any difference between Git and innersource?

ANS:-Inner source is one approach to modernizing your processes, speeding up development,

overcoming organizational barriers, and improving the quality of your software. As the largest open
source community in the world, GitHub is where open source best practices start. Together, we can
change the way your team builds.

38) What is GitHub and why it is used?

ANS:-Github is a web-based platform used for version control. Git simplifies the process of working
with other people and makes it easy to collaborate on projects. Team members can work on files and
easily merge their changes in with the master branch of the project.

 what are tags in cucumber

 no tags we can create ours 
 In Cucumber, tags are used to associate a test like smoke, regression etc. with a
particular scenario.
 @sanity
 @smoke
 Reports in cucumber 
ANS:-HTML, JSON, JUNIT

 why do we use cucumber

 ANS :-A cucumber is a tool based on Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
framework which is used to write acceptance tests for the web application

6
 Steps for cucumber
 Install java eclipse maven
 Create new maven project, configpom xml with neccesry dependencies, and plugins
 Create feature file
 -
 Configure cucumber with maven
 Add dependencies
 [Java junit

 What is BDD Behavior driven development

 Its idea is to describe specification by example
 how application should behave in very simple user/business focused language (behavior
based)
 allow creating living document which are easy to use
 easy to maintain and consumed by all the users
 derived from TDD

 bdd and tdd diff 

 TDD – means test driven development, in this test are written and that fails because of some
specific functionality and then simple code is used to pass the test and then refactor to
remove the duplication
 BDD – Behavior driven development
based onnbehavior, developer do not write the code so language is user friendly and easy to
understand

 Scenario explanation
 Irail application
 Working on a rail client
 Presently in this irail application all the customer can buy the ticket in advance however the
seat will not be guaranteed
 Requirement- to encourage people to get the reserved seat, irail wanted people to book
their seat during the time the buy the tickets in advance
 Decided to use the agile methodology in the BDD approach for the sdlc
 Seat allocation automatically
 Highlight reserved seats in carriage
 User story- Discovery -BDD helps teams to have the right conversations at the right time so
you minimise the amount of time spent in meetings and maximising the amount of valuable
code you produce. 
 Formulation
 Automation
 BR Application can’t allow booking more than 75% seats in carriage
