How to configure jenkins for user access without login authentication

In the previous article, we explain how to install Jenkins.  Jenkins setup on localhost server

Once Jenkins is installed, we can connect to Jenkins from localhost:8080 or <ServerName>:<Port Number> from the browser.

Once we open the url, It asks for username and password to connect to the jenkins server. In most cases, we require username/Password authentication to connect to the jenkins server as shown below:

:

However, In case we want everyone gets full access to the system and do not need to login , We can skip user authentication using below steps:

• Navigate to .jenkins folder (Location: c:\users\<user acc>\.jenkins)

• Open config.xml file in the folder.

• set element<useSecurity> value as false.

• Remove elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm as shown below:

• Restart Jenkins
• Once Jenkins restart, acess localhost:8080 (check if port is same or different in your jenkins)
• It will not ask for Username and password as shown below and jenkins dashboard will be displayed as shown below

Validating conditions using assert and verify in Selenium IDE

The purpose of any automation/manual tests is to validate the application is working correctly and validating the actual outcome with the expected outcome for a condition.

• Now the first question arises, what are the commands in selenium IDE which validates the outcome of condition There are different commands in different tools/automated suite. In selenium IDE, we can use assert or verify commands to validate the results.

• Now the question two arises, what is the difference between assert and verify commands, When we use Assert command, it checks whether the given condition is true or false and stops further test execution if the assert statement fails. In case of verify command, in case the execution fails, the execution moves to next step in the test although the test is marked as failed.
• Now coming to question three, when to use verify or assert command. In case of critical condition failing and no point to continue with test, use assert command. In case of minor condition failing in the test and we still wants to continue with further steps in the test, we can use verify statement.
• So what is the next logical question in mind, when and how  to add the validation steps in test.Since Selenium IDE is a record and play tool,
• Record execution flow. Once execution flow is recorded, we can add assertions in Selenium IDE.
• Just right click the element on which the condition needs to be verified in Firefox browser e.g : Validating the text of the link. 
• Click on the assertion to be added as shown below:

Similar to assert/verify commands in selenium IDE, we can use assert and soft.assert class for assert and verify command in Selenium Webdriver.
