In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a understanding that it is harmful in certain ways:

According to Ayurveda science, garlic falls under Rajasic food category, instead of Sattvic. It is also explained that it may dull the mind. People who meditate frequently have also mentioned that they are not able to stay focused after consuming garlic.

All of the above-mentioned theories, although coming from different perspectives, do not conflict, in fact, they are strongly related.

In my opinion, garlic is beneficial in certain ways but it does my harm than it does good. In Paul Pitchford’s “Healing With Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition”, he mentions the good and the bad in various chapters.

I did a quick search on the web and found a recent study that garlic may not help lower cholesterol, this is the first time I have heard of it.

If no delay is added, I will hit a error similar to

but somehow I could not get the solution as mention at
link1 link2 to work with HtmlUnit. Using WebDriver with implicitlyWait method solve the problem for me.

. Some tasks where QA overlaps Product Support Engineer role are
1. missing test cases (QA error) which gets discovered by client
2. corner cases
3. lack of documentation or clarity of documentation
4. Isolation of problem and determine reproducibility
5. Determining severity

. Product Support Engineer tasks are
1. Empathize customer needs
2. Redirecting issue/question to proper Dev team and/or PM
3. Produce and analyze logs to the best extent before escalation
4. Open/manage alert reports for high severity issues

. QA Engineer tasks are
1. Test WELL
2. Automation
3. Produce report on product health at intervals
4. Ensure docs and test docs are accurate
5. White box testing
6. Ensure product integrated w other components

Above is by no means a complete list. Under a tight timeline, prioritization and optimization needs to happen as much as possible.

Reproducing the code here less something happens to that page.

package net.qaautomation.examples;

// sleep so that you get time to see the effect of above steps
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {

}
return browser.isTextPresent("About * results");
}
}

Some important tips I have noted down regarding Selenium is below.

1. an assert will fail the test and abort the current test case, whereas a verify will fail the test and continue to run the test case.
2. If does not work, enable and disable add-on.
3. WaitForElementPresent will increase delay time.
4. “java -jar selenium-server.jar -log” . With -log, everything is logged.
5. solving intermittent ‘element not found’

waitForPageToLoad('')
// wait until all ajax activity has ceased. That check's jQuery's $.active
waitForCondition('selenium.browserbot.getUserWindow().$.active == 0', 5000)
// wait a second for all JS to properly initialize
pause(1000)

I learnt today that Flash Builder is a IDE while Flex is a SDK. IDE contains compiler, editor, debugger while SDK usually contains more of the extraneous stuff like header files, framework, libraries, profiler.

Also, today, I learn that if I have a comparable Acer and a Toshiba laptop, I should get Acer – it has good brand and some users swear by it. My dell has a less than average keyboard. My ‘Caps Lock’ key has already lost its cover.
