We regularly analyze the components which we can optimize or remove to reduce both. Some of the best practices we use are: Remove unused... Read More

Selenium Grid Using Docker

From quite a long time, we have been using selenium grid for parallel testing at Naukri. The purpose of using Selenium Grid is to reduce the total test execution time of an automation suite. This is achieved by running the automated test scripts in parallel on multiple machines. Refer to blog http://engineering.naukri.com/2015/10/parallel-testing-at-naukri/ for more insights on implementation of Selenium Grid for parallel testing at Naukri. Problem Statement: Although Selenium Grid has helped us in a significant manner over normal execution but every tool implementation comes with some... Read More

Challenges Using Appium for Mobile App Testing

In particular, true test-driven development—which was formerly a hard, upstream slog on Mobile—is becoming increasingly attainable. 2 years back, At Naukri we used to test the Mobile Applications manually. With the increase in technology and functionality in mobile apps we were facing many challenges while doing manual testing like: There is huge fragmentation of both devices and... Read More
