Applitools UFG Hackathon Attempt - Thomas Knee

Introduction

This is my attempt at completing the Applitools Ultra Fast Grid Hackathon. I have attempted to complete both the modern version utilising Applitools Ultra Fast Grid, as well the longer and far more difficult traditional approach, which utilises TestNG to run the tests across different browsers in parallel, as well as using the hackathonReporter() function provided by Applitools to help print out reports of all the elements.

Official Hackathon instructions can be found here

Pre-Requisites

To be able to run the test suites, you will need the following:

• Java JDK 14
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge

Setting your Eyes API Key

ModernTestsV1

1. Open up the ModernTestsV1 folder/project
2. Rename the config.properties.sample file in src/main/resources directory to config.properties
3. Input your eyes API key for the eyes.api.key property

ModernTestsV2

1. Open up the ModernTestsV2 folder/project
2. Rename the config.properties.sample file in src/main/resources directory to config.properties
3. Input your eyes API key for the eyes.api.key property

Running the tests locally

• Open up a Terminal window and change directory in to the ufg-hackathon project root: cd path/to/ufg-hackathon

ModernTestsV1

• Run the tests: ./gradlew :ModernTestsV1:test

ModernTestsV2

• Run the tests: ./gradlew :ModernTestsV2:test

TraditionalTestsV1

• Run the tests: ./gradlew :TraditionalTestsV1:test -Psuite

TraditionalTestsV2

• Run the tests: ./gradlew :TraditionalTestsV2:test -Psuite

Running remotely

To run the traditional tests remotely, you will need your own grid setup, then just edit the environment property in the src/main/resources/config/general.properties file to remote.

Additionally, you can set the url and port properties of your remote grid in the src/main/resources/config/grid.properties file in the Traditional folders/projects
