Programmers when creating url and page name sometimes create mixed case URL for eg
http://www.skill-guru.com/skill/login/testDetails/12/testName/SCJP-6-Mock-Practice-Test
Now this may be a good programming practice but it is not a good practice from user perspective. Mixed case URLs are an absolute no-no, as Unix and Linux servers are case sensitive. Having mixed case URLs drastically increases the possibility of typos . It is always difficult for users to remember the url (if they can).
So try to keep all your url’s in lower case.
What is Selenium ?
Selenium is an open source, robust set of tools that supports rapid development of test automation for web-based applications. This tool is primarily developed in Java Script and browser technologies and hence supports all the major browsers on all the platforms. Most of the time, we will not need to change our scripts for them to work on other platforms. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language.
Selenium Components
There are three variants of Selenium, which can be used in isolation or in combination to create complete automation suite for the web applications. Each one has a specific role in aiding the development of web application test automation.
We have heard a lot about HTML5 in last couple of weeks. Apple does not want to go with flash technology and are adopting HTML5 as the new standard. Scribd has ditched flash in favor of HTML5.
Sounds pretty exciting huh !!
So let us dump what we have and start developing in HTML5.
Nope not so fast . Hold on to your hour horses. Yes it is true that HTML5 is becoming the new standard . But at this stage neither all the browsers are ready for HTML5 , nor the clients would be ready with new browsers. So you might have a new website/application built in HTML 5 , using new tags but the clients are still with IE6 !!
You do not want to land in this situation.
Aditya Yadav’s interview on Info q Deploying HTML 5, talks about some of issues around this new standard and he has put together an excellent table detailing compatibility level of each browser with HTML5 features.

Continuing our JSON series, we have been covering some excellent features of JSON like JSON Java script tutorial, JSON with CSS and Simple remoting using JSON. Today we will talk about JSON Request and its advantages
JSONRequest
JSONRequest is a global JavaScript object. It provides three methods: post, get, and cancel.
JSONRequest.post
JSONRequest.post does an HTTP POST of a the serialization of a JavaScript object or array, gets the response, and parses the response into a JavaScript value. If the parse is successful, it returns the value to the requesting script. In making the request, no HTTP authentication or cookies are sent. Any cookies returned by the server cause the request to fail. The JSONRequest service can only be used to send and receive JSON-encoded values. JSONRequest cannot be used to retrieve other text formats. Read more…
abdpse has added a practice test for our readers on IBM FileNet BPM Administration. This test has 20 questions .
Please take the test and give your feedback.
In our JSOn series in which we are covering some excellent features of JSON like JSON with CSS and JSON Request. Today we will talk about JSON Remoting and its advantages
Simple Remoting using JSON
Simple Remoting is an open source Java library/framework which designed as an alternative SOA implementation. It uses JSON/HTTP(S) as its transport protocol to access back end java components. Simple Remoting can convert POJO,Spring,EJB and other type of java objects to web services without any code change on existing classes by using simple xml declarations.
Features of Simple Remoting
- It’s lightweight and requires no additional knowledge.
- Build-in support for POJO, EJB2.1, EJB3 and Spring components. Framework is expandable so developers can implement additional locators as they need.
- No programming and modification required to expose components as services. Simple xml declarations are enough.
- Java & Java Script client implementations are out of the box. Client implementations are easily adaptable to .net and other popular languages
- Services also can be reachable through regular HTTP POST/GET requests. You can access your EJB methods by entering a simple url to your browser Read more…
