Selenium is primarily used for UI testing, but it can complement performance testing by measuring page load times or evaluating application responsiveness during specific user actions. To automate performance testing using Selenium, you can integrate it with tools such as Apache JMeter or BrowserMob Proxy. Selenium can trigger scenarios involving multiple UI interactions while capturing performance metrics such as HTTP requests, response times, and page load durations. This hybrid approach helps validate performance benchmarks while ensuring the front-end and back-end systems operate well.

How to automate Kafka testing?

  1. Install Kafka: Download and install Apache Kafka binaries from the official website for your platform.
  2. Start ZooKeeper: Run the ZooKeeper server, as Kafka depends on ZooKeeper for managing clusters.
  3. Start Kafka Broker: Launch the Kafka server to enable message streaming.
  4. Create Kafka Topics: Use Kafka CLI tools to define topics for producers and consumers.
  5. Test Kafka: Send and consume messages with CLI commands or custom scripts to verify functionality.

How to automate Rest API testing?

  1. Create a Maven Project: Set up a new Maven project to manage dependencies.
  2. Add Rest Assured Dependency: Include the Rest Assured library in your POM file for API testing.
  3. Make an HTTP Request: Define and construct the desired API request, including headers and parameters.
  4. Send the Request: Execute the request to communicate with the API endpoint.
