Hi everyone I'm back with another powerpoint presentation. Click here to view my previous ppt which was on 'Test Automation Using Selenium'.
Some of you might be willing to learn a new programming language. Now, many questions arises at this moment .Which language should you learn and why? Will it be useful if i learn that language? and so on. It's great to have all these questions. Believe me by the end of this powerpoint presentation all your questions will be answered.
I hope you liked this article and kindly give your valuable comments below.
The latest Nope computer privacy aids have been launched via Kickstarter in the form of a sound blocker and enhanced sliding web cam cover designed for smartphones, laptops and computers. Anyone can hack into your computer and turn on the camera or microphone without you even knowing it. The only way to guarantee your privacy is to cover the camera or block your microphone when you are not using it. The company believe that it is your space, so you should be the one to decide when your camera or microphone should be used.
Nope Sound Blocker
The micro electronic circuitry in Nope Sound Blocker forces your device to sense an installed mic. This turns off the device's on board microphones which blocks out sound.
simple to use
Clean minimalist design
works with laptops, desktops, smartphones
Nope Webcam Cover
Nope Webcam Cover is just 2 parts and 3M tape. The mechanism is a slider that runs along the the top and bottom rails. It consists of combination of high grade aluminum for the outer rim and a polymer sheet for the slider.
World's thinnest (0.3 mm)
smooth sliding system
works on almost all devices
It's definitely a neat little setup if you're concerned about the possibility of someone listening in on your conversations or peering through your webcam. But, as with all Kickstarter projects, we'll have to wait until these start shipping to determine the quality of the hardware. There are different packs available, with webcam blockers starting at $10 for a pack of three, or sound blockers starting at $15 for one. Packs with sound block, webcam cover and ringchain holder start at $25. Click here to pre-order it.
To start with, first let's know what is test Automation?. Test Automation is a method in software testing that makes use of special software tools to control the execution of tests and then compares actual test results with predicted or expected results. To know more about test automation click here. Manaul Testing of an application that is changed or updated frequently is time consuming, error prone and a very tedious
job to do. So in order to overcome these probllems we use automation testing which is done with help of automation tools. The tools enable us to record the test suite and re-play it if required.
So, what is selenium? Selenium
is an open-source automated software testing tool for testing web applications.
It‘s capable of working across different browsers such as internet explorer,
Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc and
operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc . Selenium is a set of
tools that help testers to automate web-based applications more efficiently.
These tools are Selenium RC, Selenium
IDE, Selenium Webdriver and Selenium Grid.
Why Selenium?
Taking the other automation tools into consideration, Selenium has the capability to operate on almost every OS.
Selenium is an open source testing tool and hence it serves for cost-effective automation testing.
Selenium supports multiple languages such as Python, Pearl, Ruby, PHP, .NET (C#) and Java. You are required to be comfortable in just a single language in order to operate Selenium.
One highly beneficial feature of Selenium is that the language used for building the program is independent of the language that the web application or website is using. This implies that the test script can be developed in any of the languages that Selenium supports.
This testing tool supports a range of browsers like Opera, Safari, Chrome, IE 6, 7, 8 and Mozilla Firefox.
So far as Selenium is concerned, we have a number of robust methods for location of elements such as CSS, Xpath, DOM, and so on.
With Selenium, it is convenient to implement frameworks that revolve around Object oriented programming like Keyword Driven, Data driven and Hybrid.
Selenium provides support for integration of open source frameworks like TestNG, JUnit, NUnit and so on.
With the use of Selenium, it is possible to execute simultaneous tests leveraging various browsers on various machines. This is turn cuts down the time for test execution when a large project is in progress.
Following is the PowerPoint presentation on Test Automation Using Selenium.
Test
Automation is a method in software testing that makes use of special software
tools to control the execution of tests and then compares actual test results
with predicted or expected results.
When we chooses to build and host a Web application;
automated regression testing becomes a responsibility for accomplishment. As
the need of Web applications are growing, with each subsequent release, testing
needs to grow tremendously. Test
automation with an efficient test strategy & right set of tools can relieve
the manual testers of mundane labor intensive, repetitive time consuming tasks
& allows them to concentrate their efforts on more value-added testing such
as –enhanced user experience testing
and functional testing of both new andchanged features.
Benefits of Automation Testing
1.Performing Tests 24/7
No matter where you are in the world. You can start the tests when you leave the office and when you get back in the morning you can see the results and keep on working. You can even do that remotely if you don’t have a lot of devices or you don’t have the possibility to buy them.
2. Early Bug Detection
Automation
helps you find bugs in the early stages of software development, reducing
expenses and working hours to fix these problems as well.
3. Reusability
Well, this goes perfectly very easy to understand with automated
testing. When you have your test scripts prepared using test automation tools,
they are saved for the future requirements. So, you can utilize as many times
as you want especially forautomating
regression testing.
4. Easy & Robust Reporting
Automation testing tools have this
amazing benefit of tracking each and every test script. Each and every test
script executed can be seen in visual logs. These reports can clearly show the
no. of test scripts already executed, scheduled, their reported bugs and how
they had been fixed.
5. Improves Accuracy
Here, no tester is being blamed. A tester with more than 10 years of
experience can also make mistakes when they have to prepare the same old boring
manual test scripts again and again. When this done with automated testing, not
only the results are accurate, but also saves time.
6. Testing Capabilities
When it comes to capabilities,automated testing tools can test the web applicationson the various browsers available in the market via browser testing automation. Also, when it comes to mobile application testing, you can test them on various devices. This is next to impossible to achieve with manual testing.
7. Distributed Test
Execution
Automated testing comes with
distributed testing feature. You can easily execute your test scripts on more
than one computer on a shared network or server simultaneously. So, you don’t
need more than one tool, but only one automated testing tool will be all that
you need.
8. Manpower Utilization
If you are implementing test
automation in your testing processes, you will require less manual efforts.
Thus, it will decrease the no. of people on just one particular project and you
can utilize them in the various testing projects.
9. Testing Flexibility
The automated testing tools are developed by the teams who have been into
manual testing for years. So, these tools are going to be flexible to match the
future testing specifications. You can utilize these testing tools for longer
periods of time — say for years.
10. Improves ROI
The
most important benefit is the Return on Investment. Obviously, when you are
planning to invest in automated testing tools, first you need to figure out how
you are going to be benefited with those tools in terms of ROI.
The
cost of manual testing includes the time, cost of manual hours and the efforts
of the testers, QA managers, etc. And, if you have automated testing tools, you
are going to test faster, easily, efficiently, accurately and would be
delivering bug-free application within the delivery time period.
There can be two scenarios when you talk about this question. First, when a person is viewing a video on mobile that completely depends upon captions. After watching the video that the person is not able to understand anything from it as the captions in his/her phone were not turned on. Second, you would have created an awesome video with captions for your Facebook page with lots of hard work and you might be thinking that it would get lots of likes and views from people. You uploaded on to your page, but after a day you came to know that it has not got that much of views and likes as it would have been. Later, by mistake you played that video on your mobile and came to know that captions were not shown in the video. But you know that at the time of uploading the video, you had attached the captions with it and captions were shown when you played it on the desktop. So, both scenarios can make a person frustrated and can be bad for your or other's Facebook page.
The problem is that when watching videos through mobile devices, the subtitles will not automatically turn on. Users will need to turn on subtitles through the mobile settings of the phone:
On iOS: The person can turn on the captions when sound on by using the System Setting > General > Accessibility
On Android: The person can turn on the captions using the menu in the fullscreen player.
For Facebook owner/admin:-
People who watch your Page's video with sound turned off will automatically see captions (may not work on android phones). People who watch your video with sound turned on will need to turn on captions to see them(by using above steps). The language people see captions in is determined by their preferred language.
Don't let the video completely depend on captions because it may restrict your video to specific audience(people who have turned on captions/subtitles for the videos). The other thing which i used is, request people to turn on the captions. You can request them at the time when you post the video on Facebook page(as depicted in the above image). It really helped me to increase the views on my video.
So guys, thanks for reading this post. Do comment the other things you might have done for the same reason.
Xiaomi has just announced its new television set, the Mi TV 4 at the CES. The TV measures just 4.9mm at its thinnest point and features a frameless design which allows for an essentially edgeless display. The Tv is also claimed to be 37 percent thinner than the Mi MIX and 30 percent thinner than the iPhone 7.
It's a 4K TV, which comes in 49, 55, and 65-inch variants, and Xiaomi is stressing that the television is modular, allowing users to swap out motherboard and other internals when they want to upgrade. In addition, the Mi TV 4 features Xiaomi’s “Patch Wall” software, which is said to be an AI system that can predict content based on what you’ve watched already.
The new Mi TV 4 will come bundled with Mi TV Bar which integrates 10 speakers, 2 wireless rear satellite speakers, and a subwoofer. The company also introduced Mi Port, which is a single cable that will connect the Mi TV Bar to the display and will carry all signals to and from the display for a clearer look.
The Mi TV 4 also ships with an independent home theater system that supports Dolby Atmos surround sound technology that lets you hear sound in 3D. That means you can hear a helicopter overhead or a person approaching from behind, just as you would in real life, instead of from the bottom of your TV where your speakers are.
The company has confirmed that the 65 inch Xiaomi Mi TV 4 will ship later this year in China for “well under” $2,000. Xiaomi will also sell the TV without the home theater system for, again, “well under” $1,500. Cheaper 55 inch and 49 inch models will be available as well. The company is yet to confirm if and when the Mi TV 4 will make it to the United States.
Hyundai’s Blue Link service, in addition to offering automatic emergency support, lets owners control various aspects of their cars remotely through a connected smartphone, Apple Watch, or Android Wear device. At CES 2017, the car company announced a new partnership with Google to add voice control for your car through the Google Home. The integration works via Hyundai’s Blue Link software, which you tell Google Assistant to interact with in order to control connected features on the cars. This means that the car owners will be able to ask Google to start their car, lock doors, and perform other similar tasks. Blue Link also supports Google Maps, so you can send directions and addresses using Google’s mapping data straight to your car through voice control.
It also requires that a Hyundai car owner provide Google Assistant with their Blue Link PIN to ensure they actually have the authority to control the vehicle. This integration and support for voice control isn’t a new feature for Hyundai. The car maker has already offered similar capabilities of controlling your cars through phones and smartwatches. However, it will be one of the first official integrations for controlling a car with a digital home assistant. Hyundai said that more features will be added soon but the company did not clarify what these additional features might be. It also didn’t specify an exact date as to when the Google Home integration will be officially released.

Earlier this year, Whatsapp turned seven years old. This messaging application has now reached about one billion monthly active users worldwide. It has been a long and amazing journey of whatsapp with us. But now, the company wants us to upgrade our smartphones, which are running on older versions of Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
Whatsapp which is now Facebook-owned firm, was started in 2009, when Apple App Store was only a few months old. About 70 percent of smartphones sold at that time had operating systems offered by BlackBerry and Nokia. But now, 99.5 percent of smartphones has operating system offered by Google, Apple and Microsoft.
In a technology upgrade, WhatsApp planned to phase out compatibility with older phones as they plan to focus on the mobile platforms that vast majority of people use. WhatsApp in a blog post had said older operating systems did not "offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future."
So, whatsapp confirmed, the discontinuation of its service for older smartphones by the end of this month i.e, December, 2016
The mobile platforms which would not be supported are:
Android : Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
Windows : Windows Phone 7
BlackBerry : BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10
iPhone : 3G/iOS6
Nokia : Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian S60
However, whatsapp support will be extended for the following devices until June 30, 2017:
BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10
Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian S60
There is no need to worry, you just have to upgrade your smartphones to enjoy whatsapp messaging.

We all love to click pictures from our cell phones and digital camera's, so that we can hold on the memories, evoke a reaction, show true happiness and yes, our favorite one is to share them with friends on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. In this Hi-Tech world where we enjoy 3D movies and video games then, why should we only limit ourselves to 2D photographs when we can have fun with them in 3D. However, like many early technologies, 3D capture devices are mostly too expensive and complicated. But, thanks to Canadian company Matter and Form which is aiming to change this with Bevel, a device that changes your smartphone into a 3D camera. Bevel will also come with a companion app, which will allow users to capture and share these 3D models.
The reason for which it stands out of the other similar devices is that other 3D attachments/devices create the illusion of 3D by enhancing the depth of an image, but fail to capture a file that you can actually use. You can even use Bevel for 3D printing. This is called as Genuine 3D™ photography. Now what does this Genuine 3D™ photography mean?. It means that the photos can be rotated, turned into animated GIFs and viewed from multiple angles. You can also add an image of the background behind the 3D photo.
Bevel uses an eye safe laser light, and the existing camera on your Android or IOS device, to capture photographs in a whole new dimension. Now let's seehow it works?. Simply, plug in the Bevel into the headphone jack of your smartphone or tablet and you are done with the installation of the device. Have an object still for a few seconds and capture the photograph. After clicking the photo, wait for the software to apply sweet filters. Now you are ready to upload the picture on Cashew, which is a free online platform for sharing and uploading 3D work. You can also your photo directly to sites like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Wordpress blogs, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. or share directly to your contact list.
The company launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund this product and at the time of writing this post, it pledged more than $300,000 with the goal of just $200,000.
Here’s a video that was created to help with crowdfunding the Bevel:
