FINAL REPORT
The DIGITAL ENDPOINT GROUP was founded in 2010, before it used to be Vervata Co Ltd.
The Digital Endpoint Group was founded by Atir Raihan, a serial technology entrepreneur with an over
a decade of experience and a deep passion for monitoring and reporting technologies. As I mentioned
that before this company used to be Vervata. Achieving great success exited from previous ventures in
the space Atir and his team are now focused on building KnowIT a cloud based productivity and
compliance platform designed to help businesses maximize the productivity of their workforce. Digital
Endpoint is established in the USA and Hong Kong, with offices in London and Bangkok and has over a
decade of experience in the design, development, support and marketing of monitoring technology
products. All our technology is developed completely in-house and covers Windows, Mac, iOS,
Android, BB OS, Symbian as well as a long list of server side technologies.

2. Digital Endpoints main mission is to increase the productivity and security of every modern business on
the planet, by providing them a complete understanding of how their business computing devices are
being used by their employees which thereby delivering the insights to let them make better business
decisions. It is in their nature to discover fresh new ways by blending business models, support options,
Internet and Platform technologies and to overcome the difficulties that prevent so many businesses
enjoying the bottom line benefits that technology promises. They produce their imagination of future
through our KnowIT product, which is a cloud based set of components created to work on all
commonly used operating systems including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android platforms, and is
available to even the small scale businesses through subscriptions. They believe that gain for its own
sake suppress innovation and does not contribute nicely way in the long term to the community,
therefore their aims are inspire by two things. The first is to be able to give their employees and
suppliers the opportunity to secure the quality of life that they and their families want to. The second is
to have the time and freedom to experiment with new ideas, even if there is a chance of failure. This
beliefs allows us to offer specializations designed to particular business needs, instead of forcing them to
accept compromises and is the basis of long term, sustainable success for them and their customers.

3. The main product of Digital Endpoint is KnowIT and Story behind its discovery is really fascinating.
KnowIT was innovated from the suffering and hard work of their search for an employee monitoring
solution after they discovered the theft of company intellectual property from other and their own
company. While working on a previous venture a project manager noticed an employee of three years
standing Skyping to another previous employee in a manner that raised suspicion. The situation was so
extreme that the decision was made to examine the employee's Skype logs. To their horror, they
discovered these two individuals were not only using Skype in order to steal any and every company IP
they could put their hands on, but had already set up a competing operation based entirely on the IP
they'd already stolen. The evidence was convincible and posted an immediate threat to the very
existence of the company. What was needed was a procedure to monitor the activity in order to
determine how much damage had already been done. With no previous experience with this type of
crisis owner (Atir) started a frantic search to see what Employee Monitoring solutions were available on
the market. The results he came up with were confusing dozens of websites with very little clear factual
information touting products that lacked a feature set sufficient to support the issues they were
struggling with. A lack of alternatives and a deadline situation forced us to purchase any non-reliable
products that required a team of three IT admin staff several days to set up, but not to mention the
purchase of dedicated servers, and licenses had to be renewed annually, and in advance. The worst thing
was that after a year, the system had fallen into disuse, and ended up simply gathering dust. The only
reason we remembered it, were the endless emails from the vendor offering ever increasing discounts for
renewal. The struggle of this experience and following discussions with other business owners made
them realize there was an opportunity in the market to develop a better employee monitoring platform.
one that anyone could install and test instantly, without having to commit to long term payments or
hiring a team of specific individuals to implement.
The Main product of this company is KnowIT.

features, optional biometric sensors, cloud customization services and desktop and mobile support,
KnowIT is able to help a business of any size who wishes to improve employee productivity and
improve security at the work place.
During this internship I have learnt a lot about how to work in a professional environment and most
importantly working as a team. To get this internship I had to go through a personal interview and a
mock up Java simulation test. On my first day at the job I have introduce by every single employee
working there and then I was given my own desk equipped with all the important stuff needed to do my
job. I also got to know about my company history and its products. My HR asked to go through the
company’s website. I also came to know about the teams working in the company. Initially, I was hired
as a Java Developer but later they decided to put me with the Testing Team and my official job title was
software tester. My supervisor told me to set up Robot framework environment for automation testing as
I was about to work on designing automation suites. So I started researching about the automation and
Robot framework. From my first day at the company as an intern to the till now I have learnt about the
Robot Framework and Its Conceptual Architecture. Now, I also have quite good understanding about the
5

6. libraries used in the Robot Framework such as Selenium Library, Selinium2Library, AutoIT Library,
Collections, String, OS, Date Time and BuiltIn Library. So far I have designed several test suites and
tested them hundreds of times using this technology. In addition to that I have learnt a little about batch
file to be able to run all these suites together. Robot Framework follow Keyword Driven and Data
Driven Styles that makes it easier for even a non-technical Personal to understand the code. So I had to
learn how these keywords are created and how the overall concept of coding in Robot framework Works
to design Test Cases and Test Suites. To design the planning of these Test Suites I learnt bit about the
UML diagram using Enterprise Architect Tool. Throughout the process I also got to see the use of
python and javafx 8 for the UI execution in various Test suites using Listener Interface. In addition, I
was told get to know the Tortoise version control tool. Designing all those test suites, I have analyzed
many tricks and issues related to the automation process. During our process I have learnt many other
automation tools such as Selenium IDE, Sikulix etc, but we try to put our most of focus on Sikulix and
designed several Suite with this tool as well. Later I get to know the basic understanding about javafx 8
and python and sikulix. I built several suites using sikulix tool. However, because of its unstable nature
to the Html elements. So we stop working on it and gone back to the Robot framework. We continued
with the Robot Framework and so far we have successful in automating the knowIT monitotring
application and Fexispy application. At the end of Third month I have designed many suites with Robot
framework and created many batch file for those suites. My sole task is to design and test the test suites.
My first four days as an intern I have gone through the documentation of Robot framework as I didn’t
have any knowledge about this technology. After one week I started to design test suites on Atom
edition using robot framework and its keywords.
The main tasks I have performed during this internship are:
 Automating KnowIT test portal (https://test-portal.digitalendpoint.com (Private server link))
 Automating Flexispy Purchase and Refund Process (https://www.flexispy.com/ )

Instructions
Tool Setup
1. Checkout the tool from the following SVN
https://svnexternal.vervata.com/svn/TestAutomation/Developers/trunk
2. Navigate to Resources > config_variables.robot and configure the following items to comply
with your test environment. In general, five items - ${KNOWIT_USERNAME}, $
{KNOWIT_PASSWORD}, ${PC_NAME}, ${SCREENX}, ${SCREENY} - are required to
change in order to automate the test on the expected machine
16

17. 3. [OPTIONAL] For file transfer test, if you do not wish to use default test emails, you can modify
them in Resources > common_variables.robot. The following variables are customizable.
17

18. Gmail & Google Drive : ${GOOGLE_USERNAME}, ${GOOGLE_PASSWORD}
Yahoo : ${YAHOO_USERNAME}, ${YAHOO_PASSWORD}
Microsoft : ${MICROSOFT_USERNAME}, ${MICROSOFT_PASSWORD}
OFFICE365 : ${OFFICE365_USERNAME}, ${OFFICE365_PASSWORD}
4. Check the path to your MS Excel, MS Onenote, MS Word before running Key_Logs and
App_Usage_Capture as the version under test varies from machine to machine, so does path to
these applications. Path to application is defined in Resources > config_variables.robot
18

19. Running automation test
1. To run the test, navigate to the folder where the tool is stored and go to ‘Tests’ folder
2. Choose any test suite you wish to run a test, and double –click on the batch file. For instance, if
you run Key_Logs, double-click on automate_Key_Logs.bat (Extension for Batch File)
3. Once clicked, the file will run all test cases in the test suite. Once completed, generated report
file and XML output file will appear in the same folder.
19

20. 4. [OPTIONAL] If you want to run any failed test case without rerunning the entire test cases, you
can run any file ending with ‘rerun’ (e.g. automate_browser_search_terms_rerun.bat). This file
runs only failed tests and merges the result with the original one. Nevertheless, currently only
some test suites have this rerun file available.

22. In my internship of three month the technology I have worked on are:
 Robot Framework:
In my View, Robot Framework is a framework for designing automation test suites but in a proper
definition, Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and
acceptance test-driven development. It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and it utilizes the
keyword-driven testing approach. Its testing capabilities can be extended by test libraries implemented
either with Python or Java, and users can create new higher-level keywords from existing ones using the
same syntax that is used for creating test cases.
Robot framework uses teat libraries add functionality in automating test suites. Test libraries provide the
actual testing capabilities to Robot Framework by providing keywords. There are several standard
libraries that are bundled in with the framework, and galore of separately developed external libraries
that can be installed based on your needs.
22

23.  Sikulix:
In my opinion SikuliX is a automation tool depend on image recognition. SikuliX automates anything
you see on the screen of your desktop computer running Windows, Mac or some Linux/Unix. It uses
23

24. image recognition powered by OpenCV to identify and control GUI components. This is handy in cases
when there is no easy access to a GUI's internals or the source code of the application or web page you
want to act on. SikuliX comes with basic text recognition (OCR) and can be used to search text in
images.
SikuliX is most commonly used to perform repetitive tasks such as:
 Process of automating administration of IT systems and networks.
 Going through the same website or portal every single day.
 Automating the game testing.
 Constantlty usage of applications.
 Python:
During my automation testing I mostly used python in sikulix for designing automation test suites.
Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby,
Scheme, or Java. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces
24

25. the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages
program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are
available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely
distributed.
Some amazing programming-language features of Python are:
 A variety of basic data types are available: numbers (floating point, complex, and unlimited-
length long integers), strings (both ASCII and Unicode), lists, and dictionaries.
 Python supports object-oriented programming with classes and multiple inheritance.
 Code can be grouped into modules and packages.
 The language supports raising and catching exceptions, resulting in cleaner error handling.
 JavaFx:
JavaFX is a set of graphics and media packages that enables developers to design, create, test,
debug, and deploy rich client applications that operate consistently across diverse platforms. The
look and feel of JavaFX applications can be customized. Cascading Style Sheets separate
appearance and style from implementation so that developers can concentrate on coding. Graphic
designers can easily customize the appearance and style of the application through the CSS. If
25

26. you have a web design background, or if you would like to separate the user interface and the
back-end logic.
Key features of JavaFx are:
 Java APIs.
 FXML and Scene Builder.
 Web View
 Swing interoperability
 Built-in UI controls and CSS.
 Modena theme
 Batch:
In designing test suites I used batch script to create a batch file so that I am able to run all the test suites
at once. In a computer, a batch job is a program that is assigned to the computer to run without further
user interaction. Examples of batch jobs in a PC are a printing request or an analysis of a Web site log.
In larger commercial computers or servers, batch jobs are usually initiated by a system user. Some are
defined to run automatically at a certain time, a batch file has the file name extension ".BAT".
26

27. As I explained in my all my report that I am working with
the automation tool. I believe the subjects that helped me were -- Special Project, Programming I,
Programming II and Web Development I. These are the subjects that I have learned at Stamford are
helping me in my Internship. Special Project is subject that helped me a lot in working on huge
projects and getting used to the idea of large no. of files in a project and working a professional way.
Plus, doing your specific task on time. Punctuality is something that I have learned from this subject.
The whole idea of this subject was to give students an idea how the real life IT environment project
is going to be. In addition, Programming I and II are the subjects where I discovered and grabbed my
all programming skills. From basic level of java programming in Programming I to the Advanced
level of programming where all the basic was covered. As we all know that whatever programming
language. In my view, this internship will definitely change my career path in a very positive ways
and will open enormous number of opportunities for me in future. So far in this internship, I have
learnt lot of things and I am still learning. As I have never work before in any IT company, this has
been a great experience for me to get to know the real IT working environment as well as about the
teamwork and doing job on deadline. At the internship, I will have three months experience as a
website developer with some new extra skill I have leant here. This will help me look better in my
resume. At the end, I would say of course it will reflect my original perception of this career
considering all the points I have mentioned in this report. Considering the fact I will be able to gain
experience that will definitely help me with my future career. As far as I am concerned, during this
internship, I have worked on several Robot Framework project and built many reports that is coded
using Library Keywords which I never learnt or worked on before. It was quite a challenge for me
because I was facing problems in understanding the code. So I have been studying and researching
about these libraries while working on project as well. However, I have worked on coding projects
before, but working on Robot framework is another thing because of different syntax and
approaches. In addition, every task is really time consuming for me as I have never worked before
on Test Suites projects. So I am also working on my speed of understanding thing quickly. Apart
27

28. from these problems, we were involved in these projects in middle of its development. It’s really
difficult for me to cop up with the speed of project. In the process I have to analyze the whole
project consisting of lots of files coded by some other guy. Which was quite difficult for me to find
the exact coding and understand it and how does it works, because I didn’t code it. But somehow I
did able to catch up with the current developments and finished most of my task related to the
automation suites. My main motto that I followed all these time in my internship was to keep
working hard and never give up. The most important I believe that I have achieved from this
internship is that I got to work in an Auotmation field which I have never done before. On the whole,
it was a great experience and will definitely help me in my future career.
