Top 5 Misconceptions About Blockchain

 🧱 1. Blockchain = Bitcoin

Misconception: Blockchain and Bitcoin are the same thing.


Reality:

Blockchain is the underlying technology, while Bitcoin is just one application of it.

Think of blockchain as the internet, and Bitcoin as email – just one use of a much larger system.


🔒 2. Blockchain is Completely Secure and Unhackable

Misconception: Blockchain can never be hacked.


Reality:

While blockchain is designed to be secure through decentralization and cryptography, it’s not immune to attacks:


Smart contract bugs


Poorly written code


Centralized apps on top of blockchain (like wallets or exchanges) can still be hacked.


💰 3. All Blockchains Are Public

Misconception: Everything on blockchain is visible to everyone.


Reality:

There are different types of blockchains:


Public (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum)


Private (used by companies internally)


Consortium (shared between a group of organizations)


Some are open and transparent, while others are permissioned and private.


🚀 4. Blockchain Is Ready for Mass Adoption

Misconception: Blockchain is already fully developed and scalable for everyday use.


Reality:

Many blockchains face scalability, speed, and regulatory challenges.

High transaction fees and slow processing times can still be issues for some networks.


🔄 5. Blockchain Eliminates the Need for Trust

Misconception: You don’t need to trust anyone when using blockchain.


Reality:

Blockchain reduces the need for trust in intermediaries, but you still need to trust:


The developers of the blockchain or smart contracts


The data entered into the blockchain (garbage in = garbage out)


The users or validators in the system

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright

Handling Frames and Iframes Using Playwright When automating modern web applications, you’ll often come across frames or iframes—HTML elements used to embed another HTML document within the current page. If you're using Playwright for browser automation, knowing how to handle frames properly is crucial for interacting with elements inside them. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to identify, access, and interact with frames and iframes using Playwright with code examples in JavaScript and Python. 🧾 What Are Frames and Iframes? <frame>: Rarely used now; part of the outdated <frameset> HTML structure. <iframe> (inline frame): Embeds another HTML page inside the current one. Common for third-party content like ads, maps, or payment gateways. 🎯 Why Frames Matter in Automation Elements inside an iframe are not part of the main DOM, so trying to interact with them directly will result in errors unless you switch the context to the frame. 🔍 Locating an Iframe in Pla...

Working with Tosca Parameters (Buffer, Dynamic Expressions)

🧪 Working with Tosca Parameters (Buffer, Dynamic Expressions) In Tricentis Tosca, parameters help you make your tests flexible, reusable, and data-driven. Two powerful types of parameters in Tosca are: Buffers Dynamic Expressions Let’s understand each one and how to use them effectively. 🟦 1. What is a Buffer in Tosca? A Buffer is a temporary in-memory storage used to store values during test execution. You can store a value in a buffer and then reuse it anywhere in your test case. 🔹 When to use: Save a value from one step and reuse it later Pass values between test steps or modules Dynamically build test data ✅ How to Create a Buffer In a Tosca TestStep, you use the syntax: text Copy Edit =>BufferName This saves a value to a buffer. Example: Capture an Order ID after placing an order: text Copy Edit ActionMode: Buffer Value: =>OrderID This stores the Order ID in a buffer named OrderID. ✅ How to Use a Buffer You can reuse the buffer value like this: text Copy Edit {B[OrderID]}...
