Scrolling using the same code is working 7/10 times

With same code I have tried scrolling, firstly I scrolled to bottom then top and then to element so that element can get loaded properly even though sometimes testcases are failing due to scrolling
public void pageScroller() {
try {
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript(“window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)”);
Thread.sleep(2000);
executor.executeScript(“window.scrollTo(0, 0)”);
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
catch(Exception e) {
test.log(Status.FAIL, e);
}
}“`

//Tried below two functions for scrolling

“`private void scrollToElement(WebElement articleSection2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript(“arguments[0].scrollIntoView();”, getWebElement(articleSectionStr));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public void scrollToSection(WebElement element) {
try {
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
int loc = element.getLocation().y;
executor.executeScript(“window.scrollTo(0, ” + (loc – 150) + “);”);
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}

I have add transaction controllers to my jmeter test. But still I cant see any transactions at the Grafana dashboard.
Here is the defenition for the transaction variable at Grafana :
SHOW TAG VALUES FROM “jmeter” WITH KEY = “transaction” WHERE “application” =~ /^$application$/ AND “transaction” != ‘internal’ AND “transaction” != ‘all’

Why Should SMBs and Large Enterprises Invest in Red Team Assessments?

Red Team Assessments are crucial for identifying and mitigating cyber threats in SMBs and large enterprises. These assessments reveal vulnerabilities, improve incident responses, and ensure compliance with industry regulations by simulating real-world attacks. The blog discusses how it comprehensively evaluates security measures, helping businesses adapt to evolving threats and maintain robust cybersecurity defenses. Investing in Red Team Assessments protects sensitive data and maintains business continuity.

Table row data is not being accessed under table body in Jmeter

I am trying to access the table row data which is under the table body.
Following is my HTML:
<div class=”panel panel-default” id=”confirmationNotificationPanel”>
<div class=”panel-heading”>
<h3 class=”panel-title pull-left”>Patient Confirmation Notifications</h3>
<button type=”button” class=”btn btn-success btn-xs pull-right” onclick=”createConfirmationNotification()”><i class=”fa fa-plus-circle”></i> Add New</button>
<div class=”clearfix”></div>
</div>
<div class=”table-responsive”>
<table class=”table table-striped table-bordered table-hover”>
<tbody id=”confirmationNotificationTableBody”>
**<tr id=”confirmationNotification49″ data-id=”49″>**
<td style=”width: 180px;”>
<select id=”confirmationNotificationSource49″ class=”form-control” style=”display: inline-block;”>
<option value=”CALL”>CALL</option>
<option value=”SMS”>SMS</option>
<option value=”EMAIL”>EMAIL</option>
<option value=”APP”>APP/SMS</option>
<option value=”WHATSAPP”>WHATSAPP/SMS</option>
</select>
</td>

I only want to get the data-id value of the table row. I am using the CSS Extractor but not able to access that data-id value. I also tried with other extractors but not able to access the same.

Is it a good design to use a single Webdriver instance in Base Class and then each Page Object class inherits the driver instance in Cucumber Steps?

Im using Cucumber BDD framework with Selenium+Java. Now, I have made on BaseClass.Java in which i declare on public static WebDriver driver;
Now, in my .feature file i have many scenarios and in each scenario’s steps: Given, when, then – i need to initialize the PageFactory.initElements(driver, class) again as if i dont do, then i get nullpointer expection.
Now, instead of creating object of each PageObject class and then passing main driver instance in it’s constructor, im extending all PO classes and STep definition class the BaseClass.java. Now, these directly have the driver instance inherited.
There is no need to create object of any class and its working fine as only 1 driver session is maintained throughout my test.
So, none of my class has its own local WebDriver driver; instance as its using the driver , that it inherited by default from the base class.
Is it ok to use such design pattern?

JMeter: Writing to CSV causes an extra blank line to be written, but only sometimes

Using JMeter I have been trying to produce a CSV of the ID of all the database IDs that my web app creates. I’m simply looking to save one column of strings without any spaces, however when I do that I get inconsistent outcomes in the CSV file. Sometimes there are skipped lines and sometimes there are no skipped lines. I have tried working on this with JSR223 and Flexible File Writer but both give the same result, always the same issue. I thought there was whitespace or a line break in my variable but the debug listener indicates that is not the case (also when I remove the ‘n’ character from Flexible File Writer the entire output prints to a single line, so I think there are no line breaks present)

Looking from Page Object Model viewpoint and OOP (Selenium) how do we deal with waiting for web element?

Lets assume that I have a list of web elements:
private List<WebElement> listOf250Movies;

To action/process the list I need to implement explicit wait.
In accordence to single responsibility principle should I create a method to deal with the wait explicitly:
public void waitForVisibilityOfElement() {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(listOf250Movies));
}

OR
Is it acceptable to implement the WebDriverWait into a method that aim to achive the end result – e.g. straming the output into a console?
public void printToConsole() {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(listOf250Movies));
for (WebElement movie : listOf250Movies) {
System.out.println(movie.getText());

}
}

Should we decouple waits from the actions or treat them as an inherent part of the process/behaviour?
Side note:
I assume, the wait method might be further decoupled by creating Utilieties class for common actions:
public void waitForVisibilityOfElement(WebDriver driver, WebElement webElement) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfAllElements(webElement));
}

Software Engineering as Design

Simplicity is a principle to follow in design. Overcomplicating your design won’t make it better in most cases. Beautiful designs…
