Hello, I am facing issue, like. In my automation script I am using {ENTER} keyword in test steps. This working fine in my local machine (HOST), But in Remote machine when I am triggering the same test case its failing. The scenario is--Logs showing the test step as passed but actually its failing since tosca failed to find element from next window. If the {ENTER} functionality working fine, it supposed to navigate to next window. As its not working thats why its not moving to next window. This is for SAP Automation Please suggest what I need to do in this case.  

the issue of automating the JavaScript sign-in popup in Tosca, which resulted in the "could not find the window" error: Adding More Waiting Time: You increased the synchronization or wait time (e.g., via WaitOn or timeout settings) to allow the popup to load fully before interaction, hoping to resolve timing-related issues. Selecting the Modal Popup First Before Input: You added a step to select or activate the modal popup container before attempting to input data into the username and password fields, aiming to establish the correct context for subsequent actions. Editing Focus Properties in XScan to True: During the XScan process (using the UIA engine), you modified the focus properties of the scanned elements (e.g., setting focus to true) to ensure the fields were interactable, but this didn’t resolve the issue. Using UIA Engine for Scanning: You initially scanned the components using the UIA (UI Automation) engine, which treats the popup as a window, and attempt

Hi,I am getting an intermittent error “Error while connecting to database. Please check your connection information is correct”. I recently upgraded the ODBC driver to version 18. Is it something related to this - Did anyone face this error?

I am trying to convert Business Test case which consists of noramal test cases into a Business Template Test Case. How the data parametrization should be implemented in this scenario. Say for example, In Demo webshop scenario I have normal test cases for Login Process , Checkout Process, Payment Method Selection, Order Confirmation. All these are normal individual test cases. I combine these into Business Test Case and convert to Business Template. Now How to link Test Sheet or Exce Data Source and pass the Payment Method as Credit Card, Money Order, Purchase Order, Cash On Delivery from Business Test Case Template to child test case Payment Method Selection and create 4 different instances for Credit Card, Mondey Order, Purchase Order and Cash On Delivery. When I searched for the solution in ChatGPT [since I could not information from any other source like KB Article, Google], it has recommened this solution.   Expand your BTCT (Order Placement in Demowebshop). You should see a chil

A friend told me today that his teammates believe that AI is a solved problem and there is no risk to using AI to build their apps and indeed using AI in the app itself. And most people I know see many potential perils and pitfalls in GenAI/LLM tools and assistants. And, the teams I have been working with the last few years are not using any AI tools at all. I believe AI is here to stay and we all need to learn how to make it an effective part of our toolbox. But I’m concerned that there’s a perception out there that this is a done deal, we can safely use AI tools. What are other people seeing, thinking?

Agility and quickness are now essential in the rapidly changing field of software development; they are no longer optional. Today's businesses need frequent upgrades, quick releases, and a zero-tolerance policy for errors or performance problems. To meet these high expectations, Agile development teams have adopted a variety of tools and strategies to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality. Among the most impact of these strategies is Shift-Left Testing, a practice that is fundamentally changing the way software is tested and released.This post explores the concept of shift-left testing, why it matters in Agile environments, and how teams can implement it to achieve faster releases, better collaboration, and higher quality products.What is Shift-Left Testing?Traditionally, software testing is performed toward the end of the development lifecycle after the code has been written, integrated, and even deployed to staging. This practice often delays bug discovery and makes defect

What is a circuit breaker and how can we utilise it for quality assurance?

As software evolves so should our identified risks and tests, to keep them up-to-date, valuable, and relevant.Do you regularly review your risks and use this information to update your existing tests?How do you do this for your project? or organization?

Ever been in a meeting where a bug was found, and all eyes turned to QA?Imagine a new feature goes live, but a critical bug slips through. Customers start complaining, and suddenly, QA is under fire. But when the team looks deeper, they realize the issue came from unclear requirements and a last-minute code change.QA isn’t the last line of defense—we’re part of the whole development process. If a bug makes it to production, it’s not just a QA failure; it’s a team failure. Instead of pointing fingers, let’s ask: How can we improve collaboration to catch issues early?Have you been in this situation?

In software testing, a non-reproducible bug represents a complex challenge where: A reported issue cannot be consistently recreatedThe bug appears sporadicallyTraditional testing methods fail to capture the exact scenarioAny suggestions must appreciated 🙂

Hello.I was thinking of making a side project and would require your input.What’s the one Cypress plugin (or testing tool feature) you wish existed yesterday? 🤔🚀If you could add any missing functionality to Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or any other test automation framework, what would it be?Maybe a:✅ Smarter element locator strategy 🔍✅ AI-powered flakiness analyzer 🤖✅ Better test reporting & visualization 📊✅ Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines ⚡Let’s crowdsource ideas! What’s the biggest gap in your testing stack that a plugin or library could solve? 

"Security testing isn’t just about preventing hacks.It’s about earning trust."(Ever heard of a more important KPI?)Here’s the truth:Most companies only think about security after a breach.By then, it’s too late.Here’s a better approach:1️⃣ Think like an attacker.If you can spot vulnerabilities before they do, you’re already ahead.2️⃣ Make it a habit, not a project.Security testing isn’t a “one and done.” It’s a mindset.3️⃣ Involve your entire team.Your developers, testers, and even marketing teams can play a role in strengthening your defenses.A breach costs more than just money.It costs reputation, customer trust, and sometimes even careers.Here’s my challenge to you:What’s one thing your team can do this week to improve security?Drop your ideas in the comments. Let’s inspire some action.
