In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We are storing the results to the database as an ActualDomainHit and we are comparing it against the expected values."
A block of code is set as follows:
def rows = sql.rows("select * from PROJECT where name like 'Pranai%'")
assert rows.size() == 2Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
set Script=C:\\SOAP_Test\ cd %Script% call ant -f Build.xml set Script=C:\\mfg %progdrive% cd %Script% call ant -f Build.xml pause(100000000000000)
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Select the name of the security test and click on OK."
