In our project we are trying to figure out which approach would be better for testing from the below
1. Selenium with C#
2. Selenium with Java Script
I am able to find that C# require Selenium libraries and NUnit framework. However, is it possible to use MS Test instead of NUnit framework? We are using Visual Studio 2013.
Secondly, for JavaScript, I found that we need Standalone server to be run to execute the scripts. Is there any good framework available to implement selenium using Javascript?
If you are comfortable with javascript why not use Java with Eclispe and TestNG. This would not require a standalone server implementation to test.
You can consider the NUnit framework to be just a tool. You have lots of options with regards to C#: Xunit, Nunit, MSTest... Selenium is awesome. The question is more C# vs Javascript and which is better suited to your company. I worked at a place where everyone used C#, so naturally using C# for testing meant a lot of external support. You can also call Javascript code in C# if needed via Selenium. I do this in a few rare instances. For Javascript, you have specflow, protractor, and Jasmine which work well together.

I want to call a Python method in my Cordova application. Is there a way to integrate a Python script with a Cordova application as I could not find the equivalent implementation of the same method in other languages like JavaScript except Python that I could integrate with the application?
The methods which I want to implement in JavaScript are scipy.signal.butter and scipy.signal.sosfilt which are the inbuilt methods of SciPy in Python.
Is there a way to implement these methods in JavaScript or is there a way to integrate a Python script in a Cordova application?
Any suggestion over it is greatly appreciated.
We have a bunch of JavaScript code that uses UWP APIs that was written for a UWP Javascript app (.jsproj). Now this app is rewritten as a UWP C# app.
The UWP APIs in C#, JS and C++ are similar enough, see these examples for ApplicationData.LocationSetting, so migrating the code would not be that much of an effort - but it would still be work that has to be done.
Is there a way so that I do not have to rewrite all our JavaScript code in C# to be able to use it in our rewritten app? Can I somehow use the UWP JS APIs in a UWP C# app?
I was hoping I could use a simple webview to somehow access the APIs (my thinking was that the UWP JS app basically is just a webview), but in my testing I could not access them there.
Although I totally agree that JavaScript code looks similar to C# code. I'm afraid you cannot get what you want like your first post mentioned. The webview control is lightweight and I don't think it is possible for this control to include all required components for your js code to run.
If you've wrote some code in Windows Runtime Component before, like this doc Walkthrough: Creating a Simple Windows Runtime component and calling it from JavaScript mentioned, then you can reuse the Windows Runtime Component. But if you haven't done this, then I'm afraid you have to rewrite your code in C#.
Well, by the way, I believe you will find C# code is easy for you to write since there are more UWP C# demos then UWP JS demos.
This never got a proper answer, but the correct answer is to use the now-deprecated JSRT apis. These can be found here, and an old blog post about them to provide some understanding can be found here.
Obviously this isn't as useful anymore with the deprecation of Spartan Edge, but still can be helpful when there's no alternative options.
I went through below article
https://medium.freecodecamp.org/get-started-with-webassembly-using-only-14-lines-of-javascript-b37b6aaca1e4
and very impressed that we can use c++ code in javascript using web assembly.
Do we have any option to create such web assembly using c# where we can create web assembly and use in javascript like angular or react.
went through
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/client-side/spa/blazor/get-started?view=aspnetcore-3.0&tabs=visual-studio
But that does not look like creating an assembly that can be used in a separate angular only project with by importing
Thanks
From msdn:
JavaScript interop
For apps that require third-party JavaScript libraries and browser APIs, Blazor interoperates with JavaScript. Components are capable of using any library or API that JavaScript is able to use. C# code can call into JavaScript code, and JavaScript code can call into C# code. For more information, see JavaScript interop.

Ithink looking to Blazor source code can help you to.
I think what you're looking for isn't Blazor, because it's a complete UI framework for ASP.NET client/server stuff using SignalR, that uses WASM at the client side. Maybe too much for your purposes, even if you're able to use any JavaScript framework together with Blazor, too.
But you're looking for a simple way to create just a WASM that exports methods to JavaScript that you can write using C#, right? Well, then I suggest you to have a look here:
https://itnext.io/run-c-natively-in-the-browser-through-the-web-assembly-via-mono-wasm-60f3d55dd05a
It seems the Mono way is working as you'd expect: You write methods in C#, compile a WASM and then you're ready to load and call them from any JavaScript client app, and you don't have to deal with ASP.NET stuff at all.
Compared to a WASM that has been created using lower level C++, you'll have a big bunch of DLLs for the Mono runtime, that need to be loaded to the client browser (!). That's a huge overhead, if you plan only a small feature set to be exported by the WASM. The best argument for creating WASM using Mono for me is, that I can use my existing codebase with all the algorithms and business logic for a really complex app, so I don't have to write and maintenance the same code twice in different languages.
I started learning JavaScript a while ago. It's a fairly easy programming language considering that I learned Java in university, that I know php pretty well and that I already played around with python and ruby. The problem is that to properly learn a programming language I usually create a project. In javascript, I just don't know what kind of project I could create - that is, a project that is not web-based or related to the web browser. Can I create javascript shell scripts? Where is javascript commonly used beside the web browsers?
So, can someone actually give me some ideas please?
Can I create javascript shell scripts?
You bet!
On Windows, you can do this by using cscript.exe (you can even set up a file extension -- I use jx -- that automatically runs when you just double-click the filename or use it as a command in a shell: Just associate that file extension with the command "c:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe" /e:JavaScript /nologo "%1" %*). This is (and I've measured carefully) about 80 milion times better than fighting with Windows' batch language. About. (And if you don't want to use JScript — Microsoft's variant of JavaScript — you even have options, see below.)
On *nix, a shell script can be set to run in any installed interpreter (that's what the #!... line at the top is telling the command interpreter). I expect you'll find a few if you search around.
On the Mac, you probably have JavaScriptCore installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/jsc
And on all of the above, if you like, you can install Rhino and Java and get platform independence and access to a huge range of library functionality. Rhino has a built-in shell, or you can tell it to execute a specific JavaScript file. It interoperates with Java, so if you do this, you have easy access to all essentially of the functionality available to Java.
Where is javascript commonly used beside the web browsers?
I use it for shell scripting on Windows. I also use it as a server-side language, for instance in the server-side part of a web application. It's also used in other environments where a lightweight, powerful scripting language is useful, such as in the MongoDB shell environment (you can use it to query MongoDB data) and stored procedures.
All of that said, writing a browser-based project is a rich, interactive way to learn the language.
windows Sidebar Gadgets, Apple's Widgets, and Google Desktop Gadgets are all created using HTML/ JS/ CSS.
I learnt Javascript by creating a few small Windows Sidebar Gadgets.

You could use javascript to make HTA (HTML Applications) that can be run outside of the the web browser sandbox. MSDN intro to HTA ApplicationsJavascript Tutorial on HTML Applications
You could write a non-blocking TCP server.
Node.js supports that.
Common uses of javascript outside of browsers are WSH scripts and HTA applications on Windows and Dashboard widgets on Mac.
I have knowledge of JavaScript and had enough experience, kind of planning to step into AJAX.
I am looking for an IDE in which I can learn AJAX. Furthermore, and are there any plug-ins for NetBeans for AJAX with Inellisense.
AJAX isn't a new language, it's a concept of using JavaScript to communicate with a server-side language. Therefore, the tools you use for writing JavaScript and whatever Server-side code you use will be good for AJAX.
Aptana Studio provides an IDE for JavaScript based on Eclipse.
You do not require different IDE to learn AJAX. It is a part of JavaScript so you can use same IDE as that you were using for JavaScript. Adobe Dreamweaver offers a very good IDE.
