We are doing a Selenium based web application testing. We have a requirement to test the application in different browsers.
The requirement is also use browsers from cloud applications like crossbrowser testing.(https://crossbrowsertesting.com/). We are not getting enough idea how to implement and execute our script within crossbrowser tool.

Currently, I'm creating a project that incorporates the MEAN stack, Docker, and Travis CI. I'm using Travis CI to automate builds for unit testing, integration testing, etc. I'm using Docker to help create a test environment. I've already successfully created unit tests thanks to resources via Medium. However, I haven't found many resources on writing integration tests for a MEAN application. I want to create tests to see if I get expected values in the Angular application when it connects to the REST API endpoints from Express, and the Express application is connected to a MongoDB server. Does anyone have any resources or advice on how to write these tests, and to execute them in a Dockerized test environment?
Having done something similar myself, just a piece of advice.
Test the services independently, like e2e tests for the api server, mail service for the frontend web app. If the selenium tests run alright with the webpage/app, and the api end point is on the local machine then everything looks to be working. There is nothing magic in docker. Your local configs should reflect what you're trying to test, and avoid overcomplicating things and write the testing yourself.
Tools often take more time to learn than the actual thing you're trying to acomplish if you do it yourself. Document it adequatly so the consumer of the container can replicate with minimal effort.
It's actually pretty hard, good luck.
We have Web Application which interacts with Windows base desktop applications.Can Protractor be used to automate UI workflows for desktop application as well?
Protractor is nothing but a framework built on top of webdriver js to automate angular js web applications.It uses API's available in selenium jar file to communicate with the browser. Selenium doesn't have support to automate desktop applictions,hence protractor also cannot be used to automate desktop application.
It is possible to use RobotJs code within Protractor to control
Is there anyone that has done a java interpreter using groovy-all jar file? Maybe sample or example can share it to me or teach me? I meant a interpreter that can parse string(java code) into the textarea and output it as a result like(hello world)
As you need some sample code to implement a web-console using groovy-all.jar, it would strongly recommend taking a look at Groovy Web Console.
Although it's not exactly a Java EE / Tomcat app and it is fairly similar as its a standard Java Servlets API 2.5 based web app. It runs on Google App Engine, which you can try out here. All you need from it is the script execution logic which for most of the part is not app engine specific. Keep in mind, it has dependencies on GAE Apis (through Gaelyk) so you should prune that part out of it to run in it outside Google App Engine.
I'm building a web app with Backbone.js (I'm not tied to Backbone yet though). I need a back-end framework only for persistence to a database via a RESTful API. However, I also need to able to deploy it as a 'desktop' app for off-line use, i.e. running a local server and launching a browser window, but I don't want users to have to start a server from the command line to run the application.
I can use SQLite as a database since it's only a single user application, it's just the framework that I'm stuck on. I have looked at the following:
Rails and Django: Default web servers are too flimsy, requires Ruby/Python and runs from the command line. I'm aware of the Bitnami stacks but at 99mb it's too big of a dependency and not exactly hidden from the user.
Sproutcore: Run from command line, also too bulky.
Pyjamas Desktop - Depends on MSHTML which I suspect limits my ability to use HTML5 features.
I'm leaning towards creating a Java app that starts a Scala/Lift server instance and opens a web browser, then sits in the system tray (kind of like WAMP). Is anyone familiar with a tool or framework built for user-friendly deployment as a standalone desktop app?
I do not know if PHP is an option for you? Then I would recommend phpdock.
web2py has a standalone deploy-to-desktop feature with no dependency on Python: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/14#How-to-distribute-your-applications-as-binaries
As Eydun said, phpdock is an option but it's commercially licensed .
I settled on using Java/Spring/H2/Hibernate/Jetty. I find that Jetty serves requests VERY quickly so the application looks real-time when launched in a browser. There is a tutorial on embedding the Jetty server here. I imagine it's quite trivial to build a GUI that launches the server and a browser.
Another Java option is to use the Play Framework, which may be more at home to those coming from a Django/Rails background. However, the documentation for "creating a standalone version of your application" for Play 2.0+ indicates that they have ditched using Java EE containers (Tomcat/Jetty) and WAR files in favor of running the JARs with the bundled copy of JBoss Netty, so it may take a bit of work to get it running the way you want it.
I would recommend the Play Framework approach if you're OK with using/learning Scala.
I am in flux for integrating an automated GUI testing with my build system. My GUI application is developed in GWT. I use HUDSON as my automated build system. I would like to perform sanity test of my application. As I understand, the entire test setup will have following steps.
Build and deploy the application in predefined application server. In my case, it would be create and install the application in Android emulator.
Start/Launch the application.
Perform pre-defined user actions(UI Test cases) and validate them.
Somehow include validations for different browsers. I am really not sure how can I do this.
Generate report of test cases performed.
I am not posting the details of application as I think this detail will not make any difference in the approach. Can somebody guide me using past experience if this is possible and if it is then to what extent. The best UI automation tool (preferably open source) which can fit easily here.
We use TeamCity as build server for a GWT application. We just use it as a build server with two tasks: compile sources into Javascript, and deply war file to Tomcat application server. Although I didn't manually set it up yet, I believe it's possible to add a third task for UI testing using Selenium (which we used for another JSF web application testing).
A fairly good example of using Selenium automated testing is RichFaces. If you download its source code package, it includes hundreds of UI-testnig codes written generated by Selenium.
