Webservices/API Testing FAQ’s Part-2 Postman

19. What is Postman?

• Postman is a rest client software that started as an chrome extension but is now available as native application also.
• Postman is basically used for API testing in which you can test your APIs with different types of request method types like post, put etc and parameters, headers and cookies.
• Apart from setting the query parameters and checking the response, postman also let us see different response stats like time, status, headers, cookies etc.  

20. In which type of encoding does postman accept authorization credentials? Why?

• Postman accept authorization in Base64 encoding only.
• This is provided inbuilt in Postman or else you can also refer third party websites to convert the credentials in base64.
• We use base64 particularly because it transmits the data into textual form and send it in easier form such as HTML form data.
• We use Base64  because we can rely on the same 64 characters in any encoding language that we use.

21.What is meant by the term Environment with respect to Postman?

Identify Elements Using Appium Inspector & Uiautomator

Steps to start Appium Inspector and inspect elements

1. First of all, you need to start Appium GUI and then start a new session with appropriate desired capabilities for the AUT.
2. A new window will open up, as shown in the above image.
3. Now to locate the elements, do the following -
4. Click on any element on the image on the left-hand side of the screen.
5. After clicking, you will find the XML hierarchy of the app source displayed on the screen.
6. On the right-hand side of the screen, you will find the attributes of the selected element like id or XPath of the element.
7. You can now use your preferable method of finding the element, either by XPath or by id or by class.
