General Framework Structure in Selenium

Test Automation Frameworks
What is Framework?

A Test automation framework is an integrated system that can have the rules, standards and guidelines of automation of a specific application.

This system integrates the generic libraries, test data sources, object details, configuration modules, reporting and logs.


General Framework Structure:

Advantages:
1) Robust, flexible and extensible and support test automation on diverse sets of web applications across domains.
2) User-friendly interface for creation and execution of test suites.
3) Re-usability of code.
4) Increases test coverage to enhance the quality and reliability of the end product.
5) Easy maintenance.
6)Automated HTML report generation and emailing of the same to all stake holders

Types of Test Automation Frameworks
Data Driven Testing Framework
Keyword Driven Testing Framework
Hybrid Testing Framework
Page Object Model
1)Page Object Model

Now a days, Page Object Model become very popular test automation framework in Selenium, where web application pages are represented as classes, and the all the web elements on the page are defined as variables on the class. All possible user interactions can be implemented as methods on the class.

Please find the link for Page Object Model in Selenium.

2) Data Driven Framework

If you observe several times while testing an application, it may be required to test the same functionality multiple times with the different set of input data, In that situation, if you hard-coded the test data to automation test scripts will not useful for reusability. So instead of hard-coded test data you have to store it in external files like excel, xml, properties file, database, csv.
So in order to test the application, you have to connect with external files and get the test data from them.

How to work with Firefox browser using Selenium 3.0 beta 1

How to work with Firefox browser using Selenium 3.0 beta 1

Recently selenium has launched Selenium 3.0 beta 1 jar.In this post I will show you How to work with Firefox browser using Selenium 3.0 beta 1 jar.

Please follow the below steps:
Step:1
Just like the other drivers available to Selenium from other browser vendors, Mozilla has released now an executable that will run alongside the browser

In order to work with Firefox browser using Selenium 3 beta 1 jar, you need to use separate a driver which will interact with Firefox browser called as "Geckodriver".

Please find below link for downloading latest version of geckodriver.

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.9.0/geckodriver-v0.9.0-win64.zip

Step:2
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path/to/geckodriver.exe");

Step:3
driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Note: Still if you are using old versions of selenium jars(selenium 2) then you can skip first two steps.

Sample Code:
public class SampleTest {

 public WebDriver driver;

 @Test
 public void setup(){

  System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "E:/geckodriver.exe");
  driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.manage().window().maximize();
  driver.get("http://www.facebook.com/");

  }

}

Email the selenium automation reports through SMTP

Email the selenium automation reports through SMTP
In this post I am going to explain how can we Email the reports after Selenium test execution
with the help of Java using java Mail libraries.

Download Javax Mail jar libraries in following link  and configure to your project.
Download Javax Mail Jar

In this post we are going to send Email through Gmail. So we have to configure SMTP settings of it.Please find the below SMTP Settings of Gmail.

Please find the sample code for the same.
