I found myself in that very same position last year. With a team of around 12 devs and only 2 QAs we used up all our time testing features and couldn't do the (IMHO) more important work of improving processes, making our test infrastructure better and also carrying out some more long term initiatives that would improve things from a quality standpoint. Plus ...

The whole team is responsible for quality. Test work-items are activities in a Sprint not a phase, everyone in the team can and should pickup test activities. Testers bring QA knowledge to the team, share it instead of doing all the work. Break the handover pattern.
Yes test automation should be executed during the Sprint, the product should be potential ...

It will depend on what you mean by UI Automation.
If you mean whole system testing through the UI, indeed you have a manifold of moving parts that may change asynchronously:
The UI itself
The services your control
The services you don't control
Etc....
In this case two heuristics may help to keep maintenance sane:
Execute frequently: In shorter time ...

For what to test use the Agile Testing Quadrants to divide up testing into unit, integrated, automated ui and manual ui.
For how much to test in any given area use the Agile Testing Pyramid (unit at the bottom, meaning the most, UI at the top meaning least) to generally guide the volume of tests in each area. The exact shape will vary at every company but ...

Regarding this "Can the decision on the charter also take place during the test? Or should the charter only be defined before the explorative test?"
The decision on the charter could be made while doing other testing. (It would surprise me if that didn't happen at times.) Any time someone sees something they feel worth exploring it is worth noting. ...

A test charter is the basic documentation of a test session.
Among others, its basic goals are to be used in during a debriefing conversation, where the tester communicates to someone his/hers discoveries and concerns, and to serve as input to future sessions.
Considering that, the charter structure itself is not something set on stone. It's your ...

Firstly, you have to use the CSS/JQuery Extractor as a post-processor on the login thread group.
It allows you to query the HTML response using CSS Selector, and save it in a variable.
More info here.
Afterwards, you can access this variable using the ${variable_name} notation.

By looking at the image of markup attached not clears the exact situation, because as per HTML markup it seems an input element and in first image it shows a drop-down. But, you can do something like this as reusable method:

WebElement selectOption = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//table/...

Like a lot of things in life, it depends.
Both options you lay out will work for test automation. However, what is your overall goal?
Are you testing a feature that is on one page? If so, you can load that page directly and test that feature. This is what you listed as option 1.
Are you testing a feature integration point, like a page redirect? Are you ...

Based on your post and comments, I think it would be fine for you to just use the direct URL to the page you are testing. I do similar things in certain tests in my own automation solution.
Having said that, I think you should also create a test that DOES go from page 1 to page 2 and on to page 3. Simply to cover the case you stated of the user experience.

You are not checking if the password is masked, but if it there is an input of type password. Which is good, because you do not want to test browser behaviour, but the implementation by the developers. Browser make password input types behave as you expect. In your example you could leave out the code that sets the password, because it is irrelevant as you ...

You would normally use an assert statement.
So
assert condition, "Custom message on failure of assert"
I'm not 100% on python but think the formatting would be:
assert error.is_displayed(),"Error - Expected incorrect password message to be displayed"

I'm more in favor of static code analyzers (e.g. Sonarqube) which also inspect code for some common OWASP issues once per sprint.

for (int row = 0; row < rows_count; row++){
if(ResultName.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(globalVariables.NewCorpUserName)){ }
}
Here, you are just performing the same check (if) rows_count number of times.
You need to perform the check on each row, rather than on these global variables.

The way I execute my Automation code i find some flows in your way:
1. If you have a website to automate then there is no need to use 2 Scenario Outline's.
2. Single scenario outline should have all scenarios required to automate.
I have divided your automation task in 3 parts
1. Feature File
2. Step Definition
3. Logical Implementation

PageFactory does not print out selectors by default. So it is probably something you added yourself in the base class.
A good way to research this is to use step-by-step debugging in your IDE. Set a breakpoint where you use the selector. Run the tests in debug-mode and from then use the step in option to see what code is being executed. Eventually you ...

Testing real world objects comes up in interviews quite often. Interviews usually pick an object that everyone has seen and used before. Mostly, I've gotten "how to test a coffee mug or travel mug" question. Testing an ink pen is also common. While a bicycle might be the object, you are typically given something simple due to time constraints of the ...

It may not about automation and programming.
As I saw the question, I would consider the attributes of the object.

James Bach's Heuristic Testing Strategy Model is a fairly simple but efficient set of heuristics for testing strategies.

Project Environment includes resources, constraints, and other elements in the project that may enable or hobble our testing.
Sometimes a tester must challenge constraints, ...

I think you have covered testing on different 'levels' in great detail however testing also includes testing on different 'types' as well.
One may think about security, performance, reliability & safety etc as important quality parameters to test an object on. I think you may easily relate it to an 'Bicycle' and come up with additional scenarios which ...

I think if the download link returns a 200 response code, you can verify that it will download correctly. Try using this method:
private static string GetUrlResponse(string url)
{
if (url == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("url");
if (url.IndexOf(':') < 0)
url = "http://" + url.TrimStart('/');

If you want to save "John Smith \n Flat 7 Big House", you could use this:
string addrss = driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("block-item_addresses")).Text;
from there, you could create a new Address object that contains string name and string address properties, then save the element string into that object:
public class Address
{
public Address(string ...

C# has a Object.ToString method that can serve to this purpose.
So, you can just create an object that represent this info, with attribute such as name and address and override Object.ToString, returning a String with the content you are interested.

This scenario is encountered commonly in a software QA company.

I've never heard about the all-in-one product, but should highly recommend Wallarm FAST as a framework for application security testing.

To learn is also very good Facebook. I did my first experiments with Python and Selenium. Login process, logout on Facebook.
One can expand his test according to the knowledge more and more. Upload, integrate the Facebook Api, there are no limits.

You can automate your application which you are working in the company. It will be helpful for you to familiar the project or products and even you have good understanding about that project how it will work.

A picture would make it much easier to work out what exactly you are asking, however I'll assume it's alert messages (i.e. JavaScript popups).
Selenium can work with those by using the Alert interface:
e.g.
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
// get the text of the alert
alert.getText();
// click OK / accept the alert
alert.accept();

If there is only one element of tag "button" and text "action" then use:
//button[contains(text(),'Action')]
If, on the other hand, the above is true AND there are multiple instances of that button, AND you want the first one, surround it first with parenthesis, then the subscript:
(//button[contains(text(),'Action')])[1]

It's quite old, but it's actually a pretty good test site.

The integration testing, as well as any testing, as a general theory, is done against some requirements. In your case you need to have some (good) architectural / design requirements, and based on these requirements you can design the integration tests strategy.
