Git Checkout, Switch, Restore, Origin, Master

Configuring the Global User Name & Password in Git

git clone http://pradeep.kumar:Password01*@10.0.0.51:8080/tfs/Collection/ProjectA/_git/QA_Automation_Project

git config --global user.email pradeep.exe@gmail.com

git config --global user.name "pradeep.exe"

Terminologies:

https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/glossary/origin/

Origin = In Git, "origin" is a shorthand name for the remote repository that a project was originally cloned from. More precisely, it is used instead of that original repository's URL - and thereby makes referencing much easier.

Here the origin is https://github.com/gittower/git-crash-course.git

https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/glossary/master/

After cloning (downloading) a project from a remote server, the resulting local repository has a single local branch: the so-called "master" branch.

rebase:

https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/glossary/rebase/

It is an alternative to the better known "merge" command.

rebase differs from merge by rewriting the commit history in order to produce a straight, linear succession of commits

Head:

https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/glossary/head/

When working with Git, only one branch can be checked out at a time - and this is what's called the "HEAD" branch. Often, this is also referred to as the "active" or "current" branch.

git checkout -b <branchName>

Read this article:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57265785/whats-the-difference-between-git-switch-and-git-checkout-branch

https://www.quora.com/What-is-origin-and-master-in-git

As we are using git checkout for both restore and switching branch,

git checkout <filename> , will undo the unstaged stages
git checkout <branchname> switches branches.

They added seperate commands for restore and switch
git switch
git restore

origin : remote 
Master : local

when we clone, a default master branch will be created locally. 

HEAD is the snapshot of your last commit.

Running iOS mobile app in windows 10.

Agent should be started, connect physical i-phone device. Record and playback.


Create test package

Page Object Model(Java) --> Test the coded test in local machine -->  Package the test .JAR and upload in Test Package--> Consume the test package in any respective recorded tests.

Test package --> Upload test package

Using Intellij IDE

  New-Project ---> Java
       Create a  .jar Maven file
            and upload .jar file.

Android Simulator vs Emulator :

https://medium.com/@sarahelson81/difference-between-emulator-vs-simulator-for-mobile-testing-lambdatest-1bafd83fdd85


Simulation (Partial Implementation of Original Device) : Imitation of only software part which is  developed for Mobile in System. Ex: Any app

Emulator(Complete Implementation of Original Device) : Imitation of Complete Mobile (all hardware, firmware  & software components) in the system. Here it will take RAM, CPU also into consideration.

Appium- Desired capabilities to Change Language : Only in Simulator and Emulator : No Real Device

It does not supported for Real Devices per official Appium docs

Vysor - Android control on PC : Enable USB Debugging

https://www.vysor.io/

Selendroid is a test automation framework which drives off the UI of Android native and hybrid applications (apps) and the mobile web.

Native, Hybrid apps : iOS apps will not run on Android and vice versa

https://www.mobiloud.com/blog/native-web-or-hybrid-apps/

Most web apps are written mainly in Javascript
Native apps , same language used in operating system development. 
For ex:  
Swift or Objective-C for iOS apps  - Xcode IDE
Java is used to write native Android apps  - Android Studio IDE
C# for the most part for Windows Phone apps.

Building Cross-Platform Native Apps
     Xamarin, React Native, Titanium, and Google’s Flutter

Hybrid Apps:
You install it like a native app, but it’s actually a web app on the inside.

JMeter: HTTP Cookie Manager

https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/http-cookie-manager-advanced-usage-a-guide/


first request will not be having any cookies , All the other requests have cookie data in the request header. This means that the cookie is passing from the response to the next request, and it isn’t cleared when a new iteration starts.

JMeter: HTTP Cache Manager

Http Cache manager prevents downloading of the embedded resources like image, scripts, fonts, sytles for consecutive HTTP requests.

if you dont add HTTP Cache Manager to your JMeter test plan. No requests will be cached. Add only if you need to use cache requests.

Cache-Control: no-store           ---> it wont cache anything.

Cache-Control: no-cache          --->  The no-cache directive means that a browser may cache a response, but must first submit a validation request to an origin server. It uses Last-Modified and Etag of the response header. 

Additional HTTP Cache Headers:
     Expires: Sat, 13 May 2017 07:00:00 GMT
     Expires will be ignored if max-age directive is present. 

Etag: 675af34563dc-tr34   -- its like a version number for the served content/Page, this tag number will change if the content is modified in the server. If Request Header's Etag matches with the server page ETag, then cached resource is used. Else server will respond will new resource.

here number is override by 222222222222222222222222222

now i have used number variable again and name = pradeep
number = 33333333333333333333333333333
name = pradeep



if we delete number here, it will retain from previous then
number = 222222222222222222222222
