Selenium – Page Object Model – Java

There are several ways to set up your web (selenium) test automation. You can directly create test functions where the web elements are invoked. This can be done quick, but is quite dirty and at some point, the code base will grow, and maintainability will be an issue. Furthermore, it doesn’t have any structure and redundancy of code and debug “horror” will overwhelm.

Testing Rest-Services with Java

There are enormous tools to test SOA services, such as SOAPUI, PostMan and so on. Those are GUI tools, which can be used for less complex tests. This can be perfectly fine for smoke-testing, basic verification testing and so on. However, when performing complex regression testsuite you often have to ‘code’ the automation suite with Java or any other programming language.

Java / Selenium – Gui/Web Mapping

Sooner or later you need to map the data into web elements. Typically you are dealing with web forms where you have to enter a set of data. In most cases the input fields have a pattern, e.g.

TestNG flexible dataProvider

I thought to share with you guys a flexible way of defining TestNG DataProvider. As you already might know, dataprovider is a powerful Java annotation that can be used as parameters injection.

Selenium – Java, wait for web element

In many cases you need to wait for a website response to get visibility of various web elements. This means you are not able to get hold of the web element until it is visible or clickable.

Java – Selenium using 1 webdriver/browser for multiple test scenarios

In many cases you don’t want to start a browser for every test scenario. Ideally, you want to use the same resource for multiple test scenarios.

It is a no brainer, but how do you hold (reuse) the same browser/webdriver for multiple selenium test scenarios?

Selenium (webdriver) ‘Hello world’ Example

There are various tools where web testing can be achieved. One of the better tool is selenium. This blog will demonstrate basic web testing with selenium webdriver and Java. This blog assumes that you already have basic Java programming knowledge.

Prerequisites:

• • IntelliJ
  • Java 8 SDK
  • Maven
  • TestNG
  • Chrome browser (using chrome webdriver)
  • Webdriver manager
