General Information

This project was highly inspired by webdriver-testng-archetype an awesome work by Alexei Barantsev

Selenium Framework Archetype

This archetype generates a new Maven Selenium Project with pre-configured settings, with good practice that you can use that gets you writing test quickly.

Libraries

• Selenium WebDriver

• TestNG.

• Rest Assured

To create a project from this archetype:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=uk.bongosway.selenium -DarchetypeArtifactId=selenium-framework-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=4.5 -DgroupId=<mygroupId> -DartifactId=<myartifactId>

where mygroupId is a group id of the project you are creating, and myartifactId is an artifact id of the project you are creating.

Project Structure

The project follows the standard Maven structure, so all the tests go in the src/test/java folder. Tests should inherit from the TestBase class for managing Test fixtures.

SampleTestIT class (in src/test/java) is an example of a test class for testing. This class is simply modelling the behaviour expected from the sample web application, therefore does not contain any PageObjects Classes or Methods.

Project Configuration

The project uses Maven profiles to set configuration parameters. There are three profile groups:

• browser e.g. chrome, firefox. default is firefox
• environment e.g. localhost, production default is localhost
• Grid. grid, nogrid default is nogrid
  • add properties for each profile like this:

  <profile>
    <id>nogrid</id>
    <properties>
      <grid.url></grid.url>
    </properties>
    <activation>
      <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
    </activation>
  </profile> 

For example, to run tests in Chrome on the localhost without grid use this profile set:

mvn -P chrome,localhost,nogrid verify

The target application URL and the grid location should be specifies in the pom.xml file in the corresponding profiles.

Driver capabilities can be tuned in the files src/test/resources/*.capabilities.
