My web application to be tested is dashboard reporting application which is getting data from another web application. My approach is to for each field get attribute value and compare the expected and actual values and fail and pass based on that . This would mean switching back and forth between applications . Is that only approach to test in my situation ? Any advise will help .

I want to show different kind of notes in my vue.js application to inform the user for example about an upcoming maintenance. I thought at an info "banner" under the application header. The data like period of the maintenance I would store in a sql database. In this database I want to regular when the banner should be visible or even not. Maybe with a table column called active.
Now I am looking for a solution how to trigger the vue.js application to refresh if data in database was added/updated.
Can someone help me please?
Are there any other ideas (maybe more professional ideas) how to trigger a note "banner" in a vue.js application?
The application will be hosted in Azure.
Thanks in advance!
Anatoly answer is right, those are your two options. You either make a request to your backend service every couple of minutes(depends how fast this info is changing) or you implement a web socket that will let your frontend now when the info has changed. It depends on how big is the app and what use you're going to give it, personally, in a scenario like this i would go with a web socket.
Here you have a nice library i've used in the past: https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-socket.io . You will also need to make some implementation in your backend service to handle the info gathering.
I'm building a eCommerce web application for shops using Laravel/Foundation/PostgreSQL, and it will provide them (shop owners) with web based admin panel. My question is, can I make the super admin panel (the tool that I use to control everything) using desktop technology such as VB.net (or anything similar) so the desktop app control the database and maybe some configuration files. Is this considered good way to do things, and do anyone have a similar experience here?
Yes,it's possible to create such application.This kindda application can be called somewhat 'Database Applications'...Let me explain :
1 • You can develop such app in either C#/Vb.NET
2 • Basically, what you need is an app which will let you modify the database(e.g. Product name/Price/Quantity)
3 • For this, you need to first set up a connection between your app and your PostGre database.Take a look at [this)
4 • Then you can use textboxes,checkboxes,Listboxes and other controls you want to edit/delete/update the database . For this, take a look at this for inserting data and this for updating data .They are in c# but can easily be converted to vb.net using converter.telerik.com or simillar conversion tools
I guess that's all you need for now.Leave a comment for further assistance .
I have a desktop application [Data Analysis and Report Generation] built in VB. I would like to make this application accessible to all the users in our corporation, from their web browsers. What is the best possible way to achieve this?
One way which I have thought is to write a simple web form that would take the input from the user and apply logic on the server and generate results. Again, the limitation would be at the output screen as it is the real time output being generated.
Any leads would be highly appreciated.
Desktop App is way different from web app. To allow multiple users, a web app is suitable. For this you will have to use several technologies.
The UI has to be build using html, css and javascript (like jQuery).
The back end, can be VB if you are doing working with asp.net or php etc.
For real time output, you'll have to use ajax to allow communication between a browser and sever without page refreshes
An ideal choice for the front end logic, would be to use a frontend framework such as AngularJs by google.
However, all this does have a high learning curve and is difficult to build something using all this on the first day or even week unless you already know most of this.
I have written a simple database driven app in C# which uses a 2 table MySQL database. This is all a learning curve for me (except c#, which I am now comfortable with)
The app is small, has a couple of datagridviews, uses a few sql select/inserts statments to populate the datagridviews and also update records.
I want to port this app to Android. All of the internet sources I can find recommend a middle php sript which accepts http requests in order to fetch the data from MySQL and then return the results back to the android device where it is parsed with JSON etc etc.
This method is a little out of my reach since I dont have php experience, all of my attempts to implement the php layer have failed, speciially the android app was not receiving any data back, I'm assuming I messed up somewhere inside the php file.
Is there an easier (more noobproof) way to interact with the MySQL database from within android which doesnt require the need for php + JSON? Any ideas are appreciated, thank you in advance.
If you are comfortable with C#, why not use ASP.Net MVC for the middle man?
MVC is especially easy to deal with JSON, and you actually only need to create those "controllers" (as models should already be there from your existing app, and JSON don't need the View to display).
You can create a Web Service with C# that handles the data retrieval from the database; no need to go with PHP. Try create one with WCF API (check this question in order to create one). In order to create an Android client that consumes JSON on Android check this link.
If your mobile application have to access a database over the network you should indeed build a web service fronted to the database.
By putting a web access layer on top of the database you can expose the required queries in an abstracted, secure and convenient manner.
Though this sort of web service architecture can be implemented with PHP + JSON other technologies can be used as well. If you feel more comfortable with C# you can use it to build the web service instead. By doing so you may even be able to reuse some of the code from your existing application.
Actually, it would be better to take php in middle of android & mysql, due to the security concern and by the way this is the most easiest & comfortable method. here is link link. I hope you like it.
I have two web applications in web application server. i want to get data from one application to another. how do i do in Struts. i know that it is possible by webservices. But, is there anyway that i could get it using struts?.
Use query string to pass data using request parameters.
/action.do?varA=1&var2=3
This'll work for simple cases. For complex requirements/exchange please use Web Services or other integration technologies.
