Week 2

So after working at Loop Logic for a couple weeks now, I have realized it is much easier to sit down for 7-8 a day and just try to figure out the problems with each test. I found that when I come in the next day, I lose my train of thought.

So far, I have just been learning C# as I test, and through Youtube videos I have actually become pretty proficient in a matter of a couple weeks! By writing these tests across various websites (I have done some for Amazon and Google), I have been able to become adept in writing this code. My job is to simulate every possible user action, and then give them my scripts for future use and integration into their software. I was able to successfully finish my first one, but it started getting more complicated test by test. The problem I am encountering right now is that I have to simulate user actions on Adobe Flash Player. Selenium Webdriver, the software I write my tests with, is not able to detect any buttons when a video of flash player pops up, which is where I have reached a big barricade. But I might be able to sidestep this issue, as I am currently learning how to navigate the mouse automatically with my tests.

As a sidenote, when I was bored at the office a few days ago, I made a test that actually writes out replies on Facebook based on the message!

Stay tuned on my journey, as hopefully I can solve this next week!
