I planned to use Katalon (Free) with Jenkins.
After populating all the headless scripts for several testing over past 3 months I decided to go live on our production servers.
I registered with a new user email id and password and I'm able to login with the credentials here: https://www.katalon.com/sign-in/
However, after downloading the latest katalon from here:
Once downloaded and extracted; I'm unable to use the software with the same credentials i used above to login. I get Unautorized message when trying to Activate the tool.
Note: I do not wish to used the licensed (paid) version but the free version that used to work before.
I was a little concerned reading this thread with the similar issue.
https://forum.katalon.com/t/question-is-katalon-studio-still-free/32780/6
Can you please suggest if I downloaded the incorrect setup, or if, I m missing something activating the tool or if Katalon has actually tricked us into believing this was free which it is no more !! . If so any alternate free solution / tool to katalon ? Please suggest.
Since version 7 of Katalon Studio, CI with Jenkins only is working with Katalon Runtime Engine. This tool is not free.

I am having a scenario where in I need to migrate the artifacts from HP ALM to VSTS for test management. I know about the ALM API and have worked with that before for exporting defects, and test cases but I am not aware of any such things for VSTS ( am very new with it) and want to create a task and then create a bug with the help of the adapter code and move the details from alm to vsts.
Can anyone please help me get the VSTS API, or some sample adapters based on which I can start coding for the VSTS API?
N.B: I tried finding it over google but no luck till now.
Thanks in advance.
You can try to use OpsHub tool.
Another tool: Microsoft Visual Studio Online Integration
Regarding API, you can try to use VSTS/TFS sdk: Microsoft Team Foundation Server Extended Client. You can check the source code of vstssync migrator (Ove mentioned)
Another option is vstssync migrator created by mrhinsh
https://github.com/nkdAgility/vsts-sync-migration
There is the code to get you started with your adapter.
I'm investigating ways of integrating different test tools with HP ALM. I would love to be able to execute java functionality as a part of this.
In the test-script pane of a VAPI-XP test, there is a button just below the File menu option. It shows/hides the browser panel. The browser panel has five tabbed panes: Library, Soap, Java, Function and Object. Here is a visual:
It looks very promising, and tutorials shows me that I actually can add java functionality to the execution of my tests here! There is a linked option for adding libraries/classes in the Test->References menu option, as shown here:
But when trying to reference java classes, I get this error message:
I had never heard of Microsoft Java Virtual Machine(MSJVM), and a quick search answered why that was. It was discontinued in 2003, and support ended in 2007. When installing HP ALM you can appearently choose to not install the old and outdated MSJVM, and my company has chosen to do this.
Re-installing the MSJVM is not an option, and I can't help but wonder if there is another way to reference java code in my tests? It seems unlikely that a big company like HP wouldn't update their functionality to be compliant with components that wasn't deprecated a whole decade ago. Especially since computer years are kind of like dog years...
MS JVM is discontinued and not supported. Refer HP ALM 11.52 readme and it indicates a known issue with usage of MS JVM with HP ALM and recommends to remove MS JVM (notes from Readme):
Windows XP (SP3) with Internet Explorer 8: When connecting to ALM,
Internet Explorer may crash. This is as a result of Microsoft Java
Virtual Machine being installed on the client machine. The component
does not integrate properly with Internet Explorer 8, and Microsoft
recommends removing it. For more information, see
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/interoperability/java/faq.aspx
Workaround: Remove msjava from the client machine. Alternatively,
delete or rename the file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\msjava.dll To remove
msjava, use the Microsoft JVM Removal Tool described at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826878
Link for readme: https://almuniversityofminnesota.saas.hp.com/qcbin/Readme.htm
To get this issue resolved, log a HP support ticket with details on the problem and they should be able to give a quick patch for the issue or resolve this issue in a major patch Release.
HP ALM uses msjava.dll to attach class References of Java. So, workaround is wither to have msjava installed on your client or get this fixed from HP so that they would use Oracle Java JVM.
Im looking for some alternatives for Coded UI test. Unfortunately I'm only running Visual Studio 2013 professional
I have already looked at Selenium for Firefox, but that does not seem to work in my version of Firefox
If you want to test web applications, you can use any of the following:
Selenium
Cypress.io
Nightwatch.js(uses Selenium BTS)
For Windows desktop applications, Microsoft is now supporting Appium based WinAppDriver. For more details, you may check the GitHub repository here. I also teach a Udemy course on the subject which can be seen hereenter link description here.
White is another desktop application testing API but I haven't used it a lot.
We previously used WebAii to test a complex ASP.NET application and it was successful. I have found out that it is now part of Telerik controls. (I have no affiliation with the company.)

Other than that, keeping the UI as light/dummy as possible and testing beneath it extensively usually worked out better for me.
The reason I ask is because every e-mail that I get with a link attached I keep getting " Platform Version 1.9.0.4 not compatible with min version>=1.9.0.5 max version<=1.9.0.5.
I don't have a clue how to get rid of xul runner or what I need to do in order for my computer to accept xul or whatever I need to do. Can someone please provide me with step by step (and I mean very explicit step by step) directions on how to do whatever it is I need to do to get this fixed?
XUL is a tool created by Mozilla Corporation (the folks that made Firefox and Thunderbird) to make writing their applications more like writing applications for the web.
With that said, if you're using Firefox to view webmail when you're having this issue or using Thunderbird and having this issue, I would uninstall any plugins you have installed and check it then. If that still doesn't resolve the problem, try uninstalling and reinstalling the application you're using to view the message in.
While this is the wrong place for this question, you could try asking in mozilla support:

Are there any other IDEs worth my time for Lotus Notes development? We're doing mostly LotusScript development and would kill for features of Eclipse or Visual Studio, like "Show Declaration". I know there's an Eclipse plugin for Java development in Notes, but seems like it only does Java, and we have too many pieces of legacy code in LotusScript to abandon it.
Lotus Notes has moved to the Eclipse platform in version 8. You can run the client in 2 different modes, basic mode which is the version we all know or on the Eclipse platform (know as the standard). The IDE is also moving to eclipse, version 8.5 beta 2 is currently available with the new Eclipse based IDE. Bear in mind that it's a Beta version and it's not feature complete.
Time is on our side.
The Domino Designer based on Eclipse is now a free download from http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ls/dominodesigner/learn.html
It has brilliant Java and LotusScript editors with all the nice Eclipse features like refactoring and typeahead of custom classes.
Every Domino addict should look at this. Admins too, as the above download includes the admin client.
As of version 8.5 Domino Designer is run as an Eclipse application. 8.5.1 will bring a whole ton of improvements including Eclipse based LotusScript and Java editing as well as improvements to performance, stability and XPages.

The closest thing you're going to find is the Teamstudio LotusScript Browser.
It's not very good, but it is free and that almost makes up for it.
Features:
No support for keyboard shortcuts.
Not completely integrated into the designer so is a bit sluggish.
Only works in script libraries
It does have Find Definition and References functionality which are almost useful.
There is also a rumored LotusScript plug-in for eclipse.
Teamstudio sell a number of tools to assist your Lotus Notes development, and it looks like they can do some of the things you want, but it doesn't look like they can be assembled into an IDE.

(Disclosure: I worked for a sister company of Team Studio a number of years back, but never had much to do with their products)
You could give the Zeus IDE a test drive. It is highly and language neutral so it might be possible to configure it for Lotus Notes.
Zeus automatically maintains a tags database based on the information produced by ctags, so provided ctags generates tags information for Lotus Notes it will be able display, browser and search this tags information.
PS: If decide give it a test drive and find it does not support Notes correctly, feel free to post a bug report to the Zeus forum.
