I am struck up in my below task, hope this idea will be very useful for many.
In my company they use several Health Monitoring tool and we do the Health Checks manually.
We have a separate health check plan and process, where we go to Web Applications like Site Scope or open certain jars like Spectrum CA (runs as a JNLP file) and check for the server status/health data manually.
As we have more than 50 monitoring tools like that I suggested to automate the Health Checkups.
Initially I was suggested to do the automation using Python but I am a JAVA Web developer so I moved to Selenium/Jsoup and use Web-scraper concept to fetch the information and do the health checkups. I am able to do considerable progress using Selenium to automating the manual Health Checks using the Web Application.
Problem: As I mentioned we also need to do certain health checkups using jar, desktop apps or jnpl file (applet), I am not sure on how to proceed in automating these. We are not supposed to use any paid tools or unreliable freeware which record and replay the manual desktop operations.
I do not have any idea on those, so can you please suggest me a tool or testing automation tool for these Desktop applications where I should be able to LogIn into it, Enter some text in the TextBox, Search, filter, navigate and get a value and finally verify whether the health is green ?
Note: Few of the application are legacy application so they don't use any api calls.
There are 2 free tools which can cater to your needs which can be used alongside Selenium w/ java:
1) AutoIT - good for window based applications
2) Sikuli - an image based automation Tool
I do not have any idea on those, so can you please suggest me a tool or testing automation tool for these Desktop applications where I should be able to LogIn into it, Enter some text in the TextBox, Search, filter, navigate and get a value and finally verify whether the health is green ?
For the above question, Winium can be used for desktop app automation. It is similar to Selenium. You can write code in java to automate the process. below is the git link for Winium.

I was looking at FlaUI, you can have a look at this as well. This works with c# though

I have created a Java program that utilizes Chrome Driver, Selenium, and Java Excel API. The program is used to automate a few different processes on Google Chrome. Currently, setting up this automation is more complicated than I would like it to be: the user needs to download a zipped folder, unzip it, download the Java Runtime Environment, and launch the program using the executable.
My goal is to simplify the installation of the automation. Ideally, a user would come to a SharePoint website, fill out a form with the parameters of the automation (potentially upload an Excel Workbook), click an "execute" button, and the automation would run. As a result, the automation would run seamlessly across platforms (Windows and MacOS) without any modifications.
I have researched changing the programming language to achieve this functionality. I concluded that a different language could remove the need for a Java Runtime Environment download, but it would still require some type of installation process. Additionally, I have researched using HTML/JavaScript, but I concluded that this is not possible because the functionality (triggering a web automation from a website) could be used maliciously without the user's knowledge. Finally, I began researching containerization through Docker. This solution seems promising but I do not know enough about it to determine if it is the appropriate solution.
What would be the best route to achieve the results that I am looking for (outlined in the second paragraph)? I have access to enterprise-grade databases that I thought may be useful. Would it be possible to have the form trigger a virtual machine to run the automation on a remote database and then output the result to the user once it has finished?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide. I do not know much about making a Java program into an enterprise-grade application so any information about what to research is extremely useful. Finally, please do not hesitate to correct my logic at any point in this question as I may have drawn the wrong conclusions from my research.
You want to look into creating a jar file with your selenium code.
Basically, I need to update below screen shot details for every application generated or every build occurs in Installr app. I thoroughly checked API there is no method to help the above scenario.
I need to auto Provisioning the IOS application for each Build.
Now I am trying to accomplish that above task using Java, Jsoup web Scraping Technic . Please Let us know if the task is not possible to using above techs stack also suggest me any other JS to full fill the requirement.
I can see two options for you:
Option 1: Stay with your current techs stack...
Fire up the network tab in the developer toolbar of your favorite browser.
Play the scenario manually in your browser and carefully study the HTTP exchanges between your browser and the server.
Once you have understand the exchanges made, reproduce them with Jsoup in your Java code.
Option 2: Change your techs stack
I suggest you to try one the tools below:
Selenium
ui4j
Both handle Javascript and will facilitate the automation of your scenario.
They will automatically determine the appropriate exchanges to do.
I am looking for a way to interact with websites via Java. It should be a desktop application which connects to the website and performs a defined action. How would I go about writing a program like that? Are there tools I can use? I'm at the very beginning of this project.
Try looking into a headless web-browsers, there are a number of them that allow you to programmatically interact with a webpage.
For a headless webkit that supports javascript you can try PhantomJS (http://phantomjs.org/) although there are many others out there.
I am developing a web application using HTML5, AngularJS, REST Webservices, Java etc. I will be hosting it over company's intranet. I have a peculiar requirement where I need to run exes which are already copied to client machine. The 'run' should be triggered from backend java code and user need not click on any UI link.
I am exploring Java Web Start, but I guess some user interaction in mandatory in it. If some signed content, certificates are required I can do that.
Is this feasible?
What you want is exactly what any virus builder dreams of. Therefor, it has been made VERY difficult. There are only 2 ways in which I think you could do this:
Use a java applet. It needs to be signed perfectly and the security settings in the users browsers need to be lowered. Even then I'm not entirely sure they don't have to click 'accept' somewhere.
Create a browser plugin. You could write a browser plugin, which would allow you to do basically anything you want. You would need to install it everywhere though.
If there is any way of getting around the requirement of running an exe from a web browser, I suggest you take it.
How can I open a webpage from a java application and enter username and password into it? I have seen questions here where people have referred to lobo or DJ Native Swing.
But as I am very new to java these libraries seem quite complex to me and I can not find a good tutorial in it, please refer to some good library with a solid tutorial which can be a beginning ground for me.
Note: I am developing a Java Swing application and show the user a page opening and user name and password being submitted.
What application do you develop? Web? Desktop/swing? Console? Mobile?
Take a look at Apache's HttpComponents project
It is not clear what you want to do.
1) Do you want to show it to the user?
join to WebKit browser in Java app on multiple platforms
2) You want to fetch some data from a web page that requires login?
then you should join to HttpClient login, search and get the XML content
Your question is not clear, are you trying to write a java application that will open a browser and enter data automatically?
If this is what you want then you can use selenium, a plugin for Mozilla. You can record your mouse movements, all your actions will get recorded as a jUnit test case.
You can then modify this junit test and read in the usernanme and password programatically from a file (or what ever you are trying to do.). This test can be run as a stand alone java application.
