Road to parallel execution of selenium webdriver test using testng

In this post you will learn how to run selenium webdriver test scripts parallel in more two environments using testng suite, testng has a feature by which we can create multiple instance of a single testng class file.

In below example, I created a selenium webdriver test script for google search. Which will run on two browsers firefox and IE.

Road to use variable from bootstrap file in Codeception test

In this post I will show you how to create global variable which can be use in any codeception test scripts file. Suppose that we have user name and password which need to be use in all test scripts for login to application.  This is good practices to put these values in one place instead of passing in multiple test case.
You should see that “_bootstrap.php” files are generated in folder “acceptance”,  “functional” , “unit” and at root of test folder.
You can create a variable in this files with any desire values and can be use in corresponding folders scripts.

Integration of Webdriver ruby RSpec test suite with CircleCi

CircleCI has a continuous integration tool which builds and run your application in cloud environment. You can integrate and build your automation test scripts. CircleCI support following language:
Language:
1. Ruby.
2. PHP.
3. Java.
4. Python

Mobile Platform:
1. Android
2. iOS

How to setup:
1. You must have a git account.
2. Click on login circleci it will redirect git account login page.
3. Login in to git with your credential.
4. Click on Add Projects menu.
5. Choose a repository, of GitHub such as pushes and pull requests. It will kick off the first build immediately, and a new build will be initiated each time someone pushes commits.

Working in Git branches

In this post you will learn how to work in Git branches like: create, delete, merge branch data.
1. List all branches of your repository.

$ git branch

2. Create new branch.

$ git branch {branchName}

Example:

$git branch qa

3. Delete the specified branch. This is a “safe” operation in that Git prevents you from deleting the branch if it has unmerged changes.

$ git branch -d {branchName}

Example:

$git branch -d qa

How to read XML file data in Java || How to create object repository in selenium

As most of the commercial automation tools has feature of object repository concept, which separate application objects from automation scripts, it help us to modify object when AUT object change without going into code.  Also if we create object repository then it reuse throughout scripts from one place.

In Webdriver we can put locator (object) of web elements in to xml, properties, excel file etc at one place, and can separate from test scripts with logically divided into files.

In this post I am going to show you how to read data and put locators into xml files.

We create xml files for object locator like “Header.xml” where put all locators related to header menus, “Login.xml” for locators of login page, “Dashborad.xml” for locator of dashboard page.

Codeception webdriver integration

In my previous post of codeception, I posted that how to setup and create codeception acceptance test using phpbrowser. As phpbrowser has following limitation:

• Can click only on links with valid urls or form submit buttons
• Not support input fields that are not inside a form
• Not support JavaScript interactions, like modal windows, datepickers, etc.

So we can integrate codeception with selenium webdriver and can easily handle phpbrowser drawbacks

Road to generate html report for Python Webdriver test suite using HTMLTestRunner

In my previous post ""Road to create test suite for python Webdriver scripts, I posted that how to create Suite file for webdriver python test script, but In this post I will show you how to integrate test suite with HTMLTestRunner to generate report in html format.

Before going through this post click here ( “Road to create test suite for python Webdriver scripts” ) to see both webdrive python unit test scripts.  I am taking these as example.

Follow below steps to setup:
1. Click on link "HTMLTestRunner" and download “HTMLTestRunner.py”, and “test_HTMLTestRunner.py” file put in your webdriver python project root folder.
2. Import all your test script in “test_HTMLTestRunner.py” as below:

import WebdriverTest2

import WebdriverTest1

Road to create test suite for python Webdriver scripts

In this post I will show you how to create suite file for Webdriver python UnitTest.
Following are two webdriver python unit test script.
1. WebdriverTest1.py

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

import unittest, time, re

class WebdriverTest1(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):

        self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

        self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)

        self.base_url = "http://en.wikipedia.org"

       

    def test_Wikipedia(self):

        driver = self.driver

        driver.get(self.base_url + "/wiki/Main_Page")

        driver.find_element_by_id("searchInput").clear()

        driver.find_element_by_id("searchInput").send_keys("India")

        driver.find_element_by_id("searchButton").click()    

   

    def tearDown(self):

        self.driver.quit()       

if __name__ == "__main__":

    unittest.main()

TestNG factory class with example

TestNG factory class is used to create instance of testNg class at runtime (dynamically). When we apply Factory annotation on method, it always return object array of Object class ( “Object[]”). This is useful annotation when you run test multiple time.

TestNG pick @Factory method from class and consider each object mentioned in factory test as a TestNg class and invoke in separate.

Example:  FactoryClassImp.java

package com.tests;

import org.testng.annotations.Factory;

public class FactoryClassImp {

 @Factory

 public Object[] createTest() {

  Object[] res = new Object[3];

  res[0] = new FactoryTestClass(2, 2);

  res[1] = new FactoryTestClass(2, 3);

  res[2] = new FactoryTestClass(2, 4);

  return res;

 }

}
