To handle dropdown in Selenium, we can use the Select class and its methods like selectByVisibleText, selectByValue, and selectByIndex.

• Create an instance of the Select class by passing the dropdown element as a parameter

• Use selectByVisibleText method to select an option by its visible text

• Use selectByValue method to select an option by its value attribute

• Use selectByIndex method to select an option by its index

• To deselect an option, use deselectAll or deselectBy methods

Standard procedures for UT, tensile and impact testing

• UT testing follows ASTM E164 standards

• Tensile testing follows ASTM E8 standards

• Impact testing follows ASTM E23 standards

• Work instructions should include equipment calibration, sample preparation, and testing procedures

• Documentation of results and analysis should be included in the work instructions

Dynamic xpath is a way to locate elements on a web page based on changing attributes or positions.

• Use functions like contains(), starts-with(), or ends-with() to create dynamic xpaths

• Avoid using indexes in xpaths as they can change with page updates

• Consider using unique attributes or text within the element to create a reliable xpath

Program to count consecutive characters in a string

• Iterate through the string and compare each character with the next one

Colour coding of TH resistors is a system of using coloured bands to indicate the resistance value and tolerance of the resistor.

• TH resistors have 4 bands - the first two bands represent the significant digits, the third band represents the multiplier, and the fourth band represents the tolerance.

• Each colour corresponds to a number - for example, black is 0, brown is 1, red is 2, etc.

• The first two bands determine the resistance value by combining the numbers represented by th...read more

PUT is used to update or replace an entire resource, while PATCH is used to update specific fields of a resource.

• PUT is idempotent, meaning multiple identical requests will have the same effect as a single request.

• PATCH is not necessarily idempotent, as multiple identical requests may have different effects.

• PUT requires the client to send the entire updated resource, while PATCH only requires the client to send the specific fields that need to be updated.

8D report is a problem-solving methodology used to identify, correct, and prevent recurring problems in manufacturing or service industries.

• 8D stands for 8 disciplines, each representing a step in the problem-solving process

• It involves identifying the problem, forming a team, implementing temporary and permanent corrective actions, and preventing recurrence

• Examples of tools used in 8D reports include fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys analysis, and control plans

R and R stands for Repeatability and Reproducibility. It is a statistical method used to measure the variation in a measurement system.

• R and R is used to determine the consistency and accuracy of a measurement system.

• Repeatability refers to the variation in measurements taken by the same person or instrument.

• Reproducibility refers to the variation in measurements taken by different people or instruments.

• R and R is commonly used in manufacturing and quality control to ensure c...read more
