 ABSTRACT

Web applications tend to continuously evolve and thus need thorough, yet lean and automatic,

regression testing. In this installment of Software Technology, Andreas Kornstadt and his

colleagues describe automatic regression testing for Web applications that uses the Selenium

testing framework. Selenium is portable open source software available for Windows, Linux, and

Macintosh. Tests are written as HTML tables or in a number of programming languages and can

run directly in most Web browsers.

From numerical weather prediction to processing data from weather radars or visualizing

atmospheric conditions, computers have become an integral tool in the fields of meteorology and

atmospheric science. However, computers require specific directions in the form of software.

The ability to write this software, often customized for the particular needs of the user, goes

hand-in-hand with research and operations.

Python is a general purpose, high-level programming language which is widely used in

meteorology and elsewhere. The language facilitates a rapid development cycle with its

interpreted and interactive nature. A focus on code readability makes the language easy to learn,

and the expressive syntax leads to short, clear programs. Additionally, It has an extensive and

comprehensive collection of freely available packages covering a variety of topics. Scientific

Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and pandas provide efficient implementation of

numerical operations and tasks common in science and engineering. These libraries provide a

strong base from which more advanced scientific software can be built without needing to worry

about low-level algorithms. Additionally, many domain specific packages exist which address

the scientific needs of the meteorological community.

CHAPTER 3: PROJECT WORK

3.1 OVERVIEW

Python is a general purpose, high-level programming language which is widely used in

meteorology and elsewhere. The language facilitates a rapid development cycle with its

interpreted and interactive nature. A focus on code readability makes the language easy to

learn, and the expressive syntax leads to short, clear programs. Additionally, Python has

excellent support for interfacing with legacy code written in C, C++ and Fortran making it

an excellent tool for integrating existing software. It has an extensive and comprehensive

collection of freely available packages covering a variety of topics. Scientific Python libraries

such as NumPy, SciPy, and pandas provide efficient implementation of numerical operations

and tasks common in science and engineering. These libraries provide a strong base from

which more advanced scientific software can be built without needing to worry about low-

level algorithms. Additionally, many domain specific packages exist which address the

scientific needs of the meteorological community. Python is a practical key to unlocking

powerful computational resources that can open the door to a variety of new career

opportunities or that can enhance productivity in your current position. The author will detail

his own experience of how Python led him to meteorology.

OCR = Optical Character Recognition. In other words, OCR systems transform a two-

dimensional image of text, that could contain machine printed or handwritten text from its image

representation into machine-readable text. OCR as a process generally consists of several sub-

processes to perform as accurately as possible.

OpenCV is an open source library for image and video analysis, originally introduced more than

decade ago by Intel. Since then, a number of programmers have contributed to the most recent

library developments. Regardless of whether one is a novice C++ programmer or a professional

3
software developer, unaware of OpenCV, the main library content should be interesting for the

graduate students and researchers in image processing and computer vision areas. To master

every library element it is necessary to consult many books available on the topic of OpenCV.

What is Selenium?

Selenium is a free (open-source) automated testing framework used to validate web applications

across different browsers and platforms. You can use multiple programming languages like Java,

C#, Python etc to create Selenium Test Scripts. Testing done using the Selenium testing tool is

usually referred to as Selenium Testing.

Selenium Software is not just a single tool but a suite of software, each piece catering to different

Selenium QA testing needs of an organization. Here is the list of tools

 Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

 Selenium Remote Control (RC)

 WebDriver

 Selenium Grid

3.2 EXISTING SYSTEMS

OpenCV library is used extensively in companies, research groups and by governmental

bodies.Along with well-established companies like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Sony,

Honda, Toyota that employ the library, there are many startups such as Applied Minds,

VideoSurf, and Zeitera, that make extensive use of OpenCV. OpenCV’s deployed uses span the

range from stitching streetview images together, detecting intrusions in surveillance video in

Israel, monitoring mine equipment in China, helping robots navigate and pick up objects at

Willow Garage, detection of swimming pool drowning accidents in Europe, running interactive

4
art in Spain and New York, checking runways for debris in Turkey, inspecting labels on products

in factories around the world on to rapid face detection in Japan.

1309 companies reportedly use Selenium in their tech stacks, including Delivery Hero, Bitpanda,

and Accenture.

3.3 USER REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

OpenCV, or Open Source Computer Vision library, started out as a research project at Intel. It’s

currently the largest computer vision library in terms of the sheer number of functions it holds.

OpenCV contains implementations of more than 2500 algorithms! It is freely available for

commercial as well as academic purposes. And the joy doesn’t end there! The library has

interfaces for multiple languages, including Python, Java, and C++.

Analyze previous system version that is already implemented into the system. Analyze the older

requirement document of the project. Look into the past Bug reports, some of the bug reports are

turned into enhancement request which may be implemented into current version. Look into

installation guide if it is available to see what are the installation required . Analyze the domain

or industry knowledge that team is trying to implement. Whatever source of requirement you get

make sure to document them in some form, get them reviewed from other experienced and

knowledgeable team members.

3.4 FEASIBILITY STUDY

This project’s greatest strength lies in being a modification of an open source library. As such,

there are many resources are available to make learning about and modifying the library. This

will allow for more time being dedicated towards how to do something rather than what to do.

Although the purpose of this project is to broaden the limitations of OpenCV’s face detection

feature, there will still be restraints that will not be possible due to the hardware used. The camera
5
does not have any features such as auto brightness or focus to make the images or videos easier

to view, meaning there will still be some conditions that cannot be adequately trained into the

cascades. As a software deliverable, a document containing instructional material and required

software and hardware will be included. Aspects such as the Java IDE and the web camera will

be up to the discretion of the consumer, but suggestions will be offered to provide an example to

base their decisions from.

Regarding selenium, as an automation tester the focus would be to gain sufficient functional

knowledge, get the relevant test cases from the functional (manual) team then conduct

feasibility analysis to know how many scenarios can be automated. If at all some cases can’t be

automated there must be a valid rationale and the agreement with the stakeholders must be taken.

The analysis helps the test team to showcase their deliverables because after thorough

examination team will be in a position to understand what will be covered in automation and how

long they require to complete them. Failing to conduct this study could lead to irksome state.

Feasibility study in tool selection

We must conduct a careful study before finalizing the tool. The key points to be considered are

Whether or not the tool can detect all the objects of an application?

The tool that we are going to use for automation must be able to locate all the elements of the

application as the locators are the key for the script to interact with the application elements

In case of selenium, we rely on Xpath, CSS selectors, name, Id..etc

If the case is to automate the windows application then selection of a tool that can interact with

windows must be chosen

Eg: Coded UI – can locate the windows much better.

6
Whether or not the tool is best compatible with the application technologies?

There should be a sample POC conducted with all the list of proposed tools to automate the

applications then decide which one should be of the good match by considering the application

development technologies and its compatibility with the tool.

Eg: while selenium is used to automate all the java, .net, PHP oriented applications, it’s essential

to opt for protractor when the application front end is mainly designed with Angular JS. Because

angular elements can’t be caught with selenium

Whilst choosing the tool, the cost that would be required for investment should be taken care of.

If at all there is a tool exists which does the job w/o any degradation of quality we can fairly go

with that as that’s going to add a lot of savings, which will eventually prefer to get better ROI.

Community that’s available for that tool, should be given the importance to an extent as that

helps in troubleshooting some of the issues we see in our daily routines.

More the community more preferable the tool is

Feasibility study on framework development

Once the tool choice has come to a conclusion, the next step is to perform the study on

framework piece. It should be chosen in a way that the tool supports also it should be quite

generic. It should give us better reports to analyze the results

A POC has to be conducted, then after observed the results, we must think of coming up with

more reusable components. We might take a lot of hours of time than what is really required for

manual validation. But in the long run, as we pass by different phases, the suite adds a lot of

value since the execution time will come down to a great level.

7
A proper check on the regression scripts and baselining them is needed as well because that helps

to add more coverage.

Feasibility study on test strategical approach. When it comes to the test approach, the business

should take a call whether what between the below strategies should be followed.

Test driven approach

This approach is first to write the tests and then try to accomplish the fix for it. This would be a

sophisticated approach and it’s not that easy for non-technical stakeholders to decipher properly.

This is completely a call taken by the business based on their budget and other parameters that

make sense for a project.

Behavior driven approach

This is buzzing in recent times, as the progress is made by documenting the task in plain English

then try to map them with the technical actions. This gives more insight into what a particular

test case was written for, what validations are performed. This business model delivers a better

report than the above model.

Eg: Cucumber, Specflow, Gauge..etc

3.5 OBJECTIVES OF PROJECT

 Inspect and understand APIs and third party libraries to be used with Python 3

 Apply the Python imaging library (pillow) to open, view, and manipulate images,

including cropping, resizing, recoloring, and overlaying text

 Apply the python tesseract (py-tesseract) library with Python 3 in order to detect

text in images through optical character recognition (OCR)

 Apply the open source computer vision library (opencv) to detect faces in images,

& how to crop and manipulate these faces into contact sheets

8
  objective of test automation is to build an automation framework with scripts

that need low maintenance. Today, the testing and development requirements can

change within a jiffy.

3.6 PROJECT FUNCTIONS

In Optical Face Recognition and Optical Character Recognition, the program detects the faces

present in the newspaper images bundled in the zip file based on the text present after applying

Optical Character Recognition in each page.

In selenium testing, the webdriver opens the website in automated web browser and test different

functionalities of the website based on the program applied.

3.7 INTRODUCTION TO TOOL (SOFTWARE / HARDWARE)

 jupyter notebook : Project Jupyter is a project and community whose goal is to "develop

open-source software, open-standards, and services for interactive computing across

dozens of programming languages".

 Pycharm : PyCharm is an integrated development environment used in computer

programming, specifically for the Python language. It is developed by the Czech

company JetBrains.

 Pillow : Python Imaging Library is a free and open-source additional library for the

Python programming language that adds support for opening, manipulating, and saving

many different image file formats.

 Pytesseract : Python-tesseract is an optical character recognition (OCR) tool for python.

That is, it will recognize and “read” the text embedded in images. Python-tesseract is a

wrapper for Google’s Tesseract-OCR Engine. It is also useful as a stand-alone invocation

script to tesseract, as it can read all image types supported by the Pillow and Leptonica

9
 imaging libraries, including jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, and others. Additionally, if used as

a script, Python-tesseract will print the recognized text instead of writing it to a file.

 OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer

vision. Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then

Itseez. The library is cross-platform and free for use under the open-source Apache 2

License.

 Eclipse IDE : Eclipse is an integrated development environment used in computer

programming. It contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for

customizing the environment.

 Selenium : Selenium WebDriver is a web framework that permits you to execute cross-

browser tests. This tool is used for automating web-based application testing to verify

that it performs expectedly. Selenium WebDriver allows you to choose a programming

language to create test scripts.

 Apache – poi : Apache POI, a project run by the Apache Software Foundation, and

previously a sub-project of the Jakarta Project, provides pure Java libraries for reading

and writing files in Microsoft Office formats, such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

 Cucumber Framework : Cucumber is a software tool that supports behavior-driven

development. Central to the Cucumber BDD approach is its ordinary language parser

called Gherkin. It allows expected software behaviors to be specified in a logical language

that customers can understand.

 CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

CONCLUSIONS

In this internship/training period, I have learned about the concept of face detection using Open
CV in Python and OCR using py-tesseract and Selenium testing tools. There are a number of
detectors other than the face, which can be found in the library. Feel free to experiment with
them and create detectors for eyes, license plates, etc.

Selenium is the most effective test automation tool for qa due to its wide range of features such

as open source, supports many languages, integrates easily with many platforms, has cross

browser support and is best suited to test web applications. Hence, businesses need to prefer

selenium tool as a promising test automation tool for web applications testing.

Automated selenium testing services be leveraged to achieve faster time to market, quicker ROI

and get flawless applications.

FUTURE SCOPE

Web applications are considered to be the next big thing for many companies worldwide, test

automation market trends are steadily rising up with extensive demand with Selenium. Many

top organizations across the world rely on Selenium resources for their test automation needs.

In Computer Vision and OCR fields

 Using computer vision to assist the visually impaired.

 Using computer vision to help animals

 Using computer vision in agriculture

 Using computer vision to slow the spread of COVID

 Using computer vision to bolster workplace safety.
