Automation testing for KSQL:
Can we connect from Selenium to KSQL to do automation testing?
If yes, how to do that, please provide the complete information.

If i need to test remotely using Web-driver, i need to use Selenium Server
So when we say Selenium Server in third point, does it mean then the
same server used by Selenium RC?
Is selenium server already included with selenium RC? If need to do automation using selenium RC, do i need to download Selenium Server separately?
Selenium Remote Control (RC) and Selenium WebDriver both are test automation tools supporting different programming languages but come with some critical differences.
Selenium RC
Till a couple of years back Selenium RC was an important component in the Selenium test suite. It was the testing framework that enabled a QA or a developer to write test cases in any programming language in order to automate UI tests for web applications against any HTTP website. Selenium RC comprised of two parts:
Client libraries for the preferred Language Binding Art.
A server that launches and destroys web browsers automatically.
Selenium RC’s architecture was a bit complicated as:
Developer/QA personal needed to install and launch a separate application called Selenium Remote Control Server before running test scripts.
The Selenium RC server acted as a mediator between the browser and Selenium commands.
The sequence of execution was:
The Selenium RC server injected a Javascript program known as Selenium Core into the browser client.
Once the Selenium Core program was injected, it started receiving instructions from the RC server based on test scripts. Selenium Core executed all these instructions as JavaScript commands.
The web browser executed all the commands given by Selenium Core and returns the test summary back to the Selenium RC server.
But there were limitations as follows:
Selenium RC Server's architecture was pretty complicated.
Execution of test scripts was time-consuming as Selenium RC uses JavaScript commands as instructions to the browser which resulted in slow performance.
API’s were less object-oriented.
There was no support for headless browsers.
All these limitations of Selenium RC Server led to the development of the new robust automation framework Selenium WebDriver.
WebDriver
From Selenium perspective, the WebDriver Interface is similar like a agreement which the 3rd party Browser Vendors like Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc have to adhere and implement the same. This would in-turn help the end-users to use the exposed APIs to write a common code and implement the functionalities across all the available Browsers without any change.
This usecase
To execute your testcases:
Locally: Selenium Client (jars) which is a bunch of API's would suffice your need.
On Remote machines(Selenium Grid): Selenium Server would solve your purpose.

I'm helping set up web testing frameworks for a team that runs web tests on a project that already supports Firefox and Chrome. They want to extend it to be able to test Microsoft Edge.
So far we've been using Selenium grid with Docker and Jenkins but only for Firefox and Chrome.
Is there a way to extend a set up like this for Microsoft Edge? Or is there a way to dockerize Micrsoft Edge testing?
I know there is a webdriver for Edge compatible with selenium grid but I've seen nothing about how to dockerize it.
I want to use Docker because it keeps all the Jenkins slaves clean and allows for controlled versions of browsers, and we can control multiple containers with Docker-Compose.
You can try to use WebDriver with Windows Insider to test web projects with MS Edge.
WebDriver is an emerging standard through which Web developers can write tests to automate Web browsers for site testing. It provides a programmable remote control for developing complex user scenarios and running them in an automated fashion against your website in a browser.

We want to work with BDD in our project, we have already a valid leanft licence but I waw wondering if we can automate web service tests using leanft and cucumber?
If not, can you please suggest some testing tools compatible with cucumber and capable of doing web service automation testing?
Thank you.
In the Protractor Infrasturcture documentation http://www.protractortest.org/#/infrastructure, it says that communication protocol between the test script and the standalone selenium server is http, and between the selenium server and the browser driver is JSON Webdriver Wire Protocol.
But in the documentation on setting up Selenium server https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/server-setup.md#connecting-directly-to-browser-drivers, it says there is an option to connect the test script directly to the browser driver.
My question is: When using the direct connect option, what communication protocol is used between the test script and the browser driver?
(reason I'm asking here rather than on Protractor github issues is the contributing guidelines say all questions should be posted on stack overflow or google group)
The protocol to communicate with the Selenium server or the drivers is http in both cases.
The commands are transmitted using the JSON wire protocol in the message of the http request/response.
Now with Selenium, you can work directly with the driver of the targeted browser or you can connect to the Selenium server which will transmit the commands to the driver.
I am trying to record script in JMeter through Citrix protocol, able to connect citrix server through JMeter but not able to capture the screenshots. Please help me regarding this
As of January 2020, you can use this new JMeter plugin
It allows recording, replaying and performance testing Citrix exposed applications.
It can be installed using jmeter-plugins-manager:
