Naukri Engineering

At Naukri we always target to keep the the app lean in terms of size. Size can be measured as:- -APK download size: Users often avoid downloading apps that seem too large, particularly in emerging markets where devices connect to often-spotty 2G and 3G networks or work on pay-by-the-byte plans. -App size on phone : Smaller the app size, more are the chances when competing with remaining apps for staying in the user’s phone for a long time. 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

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.

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

Mobile automation poses different types of challenges in comparison to the automation of Web browsers. New tool sets are making it easier and easier to engage in genuine agile development on Mobile. 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

QA folks need to do Regression Testing as part of their Job. Since doing Regression on daily/weekly basis is cumbersome, we automate the functional flows of our application and these are called FTs (Functional Tests). Apart from executing the FTs, we do manual testing mostly to validate the alignment, font size, colour etc. Since, manually verifying the colour of all controls/elements is a tedious and time-consuming job, we should automate it also. How? We can automate it by using Selenium Webdriver itself. For example, I am taking Java as a language of choice with Selenium... Read More

Like any other organization we at Naukri use “Git” as version control system for our code and since most of our code is proprietary, we have one of the most popular solution to manage Git repositories on-premises i.e. Gitlab There are various challenges faced during code collaboration and versioning while working with multiple teams / developers. One of them is “Force Push”. Usage of --force flag while pushing our code to Git is considered destructive as it unconditionally overwrites the remote repository with whatever you have locally, possibly overwriting any changes that a team...
