Setting up TestNG & ADT plug-in for Eclipse


Recently I have switched from "simple" Windows to "Smart" Mac, so I had to do all those basic set up of my typical test automation env which I had on Win7. 
This post will detail about installing TestNG and Android plug-in into Eclipse and get started with your test.

Steps to install TestNG:
1. Click Help -> Install New Software.
2. Paste this URL http://beust.com/eclipse in the "Work with" edit box and click on "Add" button.
3. In the ‘Name’ column we can see "TestNG" -> Select this and click "Next" button.
4. Click on "Next" and click on the radio button "I accept the terms of the license agreement".
5. Click on "Finish".
6. Click on "Next" button.


Once the above steps are done, this will install the TestNG plug-in for Eclipse and it will start for restart of Eclipse. Just restart the Eclipse. You should be good.

To install ADT plug in Eclipse, follow these steps:
  • Start Eclipse, then select Help -> Install New Software....
  • Click Add, in the top-right corner.
  • In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location: 
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse
In case this throws up error you might want to try with just http instead of https.
  • Click OK
Once you install this, you need to navigate to Window -> Android SDK Manager then select "ARM EABI v7a System Image" and then click on "Install packages..." 

Once you do this, you should be able to launch AVD Manager and then create a virtual device.

Now you need to install WebDriver on that emulator and post that you can download a sample android test framework from Github to get started. 
This is a test framework skeleton and can be leveraged for specific testing requirements.

The 3 qualities that will always help you become better at almost anything…

Have we ever noticed how excited we are when we start anything? But it’s a sad fact that 70% of people abandon what they have started with so much energy and love. It could be as small as building a hobby or starting a pet project or even an activity or a side learning we started. “ Well begun is half done .” Aristotle did say this but we are judged for how we have finished something. You separate yourself fro m  the masses when you choose to give that task a finish.  The first quality is finishing off what you started and it helps develop mental stamina or willpower.   It builds confidence and inculcates as a habit in a long run. You don’t need to sign up for the mammoth activity to build this habit, even finishing mundane day-to-day routine tasks will help. Diligence — the quality of working carefully and with a lot of effort Diligence is a quality that almost never will get unnoticed. It’s one of the underlying traits of grea...

Embracing the Journey: Finding Joy in the Process

Image
 In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in chasing our goals. Whether it's a career milestone, a fitness target, or a financial aim, we often fixate on the end result. But recently, I came across a quote by Sal Di Stefano that struck a chord with me: “The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.” Rediscovering the Joy of the Journey This quote reminded me of something profound – the importance of loving the journey, not just the destination. When we enjoy the process itself, we find a deeper, more sustainable source of motivation. This mindset can be a game-changer, not just professionally but personally as well. A Personal Anecdote: My Professional Journey Let me share a bit of my own experience. As a software engineer turned entrepreneur, I initially focused heavily on the end goals: launching the company, acquiring clients, and hitting revenue targets. But over time, I realized that what kept me going during tough times was not...
