Introduction to Lambda Test

1. Integration

Integrating the cloud platform with FireFlink application.

2. Cloud Platform

A cloud platform refers to the operating system and hardware of a server in an Internet-based data center. It allows software and hardware products to co-exist remotely and at scale.

3. Cloud-Based

Cloud-based is a term that refers to applications, services, or resources made available to users on-demand via the Internet from a cloud computing provider’s servers.

4. Cross-Browser Testing

Cross Browser testing is a type of non-functional testing that lets you check whether your website works as intended when accessed through Different Browser-OS combinations i.e., on popular browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari—on any of the popular operating systems like Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.

Lambda Test

What is Lambda Test?

Lambda Test is a cloud-based cross-browser testing tool that enables developers/testers to test their websites across various browsers on different operating systems and mobile devices without requiring users to install virtual machines devices or emulators.

Why do we need Lambda Test?

We require Lambda Test for Compatibility testing i.e., a compatibility test is an assessment used to ensure a software application is properly working across different browsers, operating systems (OS), and mobile devices.

Lambda Test Instance:

In this section, we will cover navigating to the Lambda Test page and the Creation of a Lambda Test Instance.

Validation messages in Lambda Test.

1. In Create Instance popup if the mandatory field is empty the error message will display as shown below.

2. If we create the duplicate instance name error message is displayed as shown below.

Selecting Lambda Test for Execution.

• We can set Lambda Test as our Executable Environment in three different positions and Executable environment dropdown we can set Lambda Test as Default, and it should be displayed in the format as “LambdaTest-InstanceName”.
• In All project-level System configurations, Click on Config > Run Configuration > Environment Configuration as shown below.

• As shown in the below screen now select Lambda Test from the Environment Configuration dropdown and click on the save button.

In Individual project-level System configuration

As shown below the screen, navigate to the project then click on Config > Run Configuration > Environment Configuration.

As shown in the below screen now select Lambda Test from the Environment Configuration dropdown and click on the Save button.

In Quick run settings

As shown in the below screen, navigate to a project and click on the test development icon, and then click on Quick run settings.

As shown below the screen, now select Lambda Test from the Environment Configuration dropdown and click on the save button.

Note:

• In All project-level system configurations, if we set the executable environment as Lambda Test, the same configuration should be reflected in the Individual project’s system configuration and Quick run settings.
• In the Individual project level’s system configuration if we set the executable environment as Lambda Test the same configuration should be reflected in the Quick run setting and vice-versa.

Executing the scripts using Lambda Test:

Note: – Always in All project-level System configurations Windows, Mac, Android, and IOS platforms are displayed.

• If we select a web project, Windows, and Mac platforms are displayed in the Executable Environment.
