Test Automation Framework Using Selenium - Part I

[Prior Post in Series - Selenium Automation Best Practices]
[Next Post in Series Part II]


In our continious effort to develop automation framework please find high level approach to building automation framework. This is based on chapter. I have also noted coding guidelines in writing this code.

• Coding Standards
• High Level Approach 

Approach is independant test suites for individual pages in a site. Already in earlier posts I have created test pages. I am reusing the pages and verifier code. This is a draft outline of the framework.

TestRun.Java - In this file we instantiate selenium instance, open the page.
FirstPage.Java - This has methods for opening first page and verifying first page items
SecondPage.Java - Seperating methods and verifiers for that particular page to keep test suite maintainable. Verifier for second page is provided in this file

Improvements (Next Upcoming Posts)

• Logging
• Reporting
• Continous Integration Server
• Implementing Data Driven Testing by reading data from XML file

In next posts I plan to learn and Implement improvements.
1. Create a project and add required libraries. Verify earlier post
2. TestRun.Java

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class TestRun

{

Selenium selenium;

@BeforeTest

public void setUp()

{

      selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*iehta","http://sqlandsiva.blogspot.com/");

      selenium.start();

}

@AfterTest

public void tearDown()

{

      selenium.stop();

}

@Test

public void firstPageTestCase()

{

      FirstPage fp = new FirstPage(selenium);

      fp.clickFirstPage();

      fp.verifyListItems();

      SecondPage sp = fp.openSecondPage();

      sp.verifyUnorderedListItems();

}

}

3. FirstPage.Java

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.Vector;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class FirstPage{

Selenium selenium;

public static String FIRST_PAGE_LINK = "/2011/01/test-xml-page-for-selenium.html";

public static String SECOND_PAGE_LINK = "/2011/01/test-page-for-selenium-example.html";

public FirstPage(Selenium selenium)

{

      this.selenium = selenium;

     

}

public FirstPage clickFirstPage()

{

      System.out.println("Opening First Page");

      clickFirstPage(FIRST_PAGE_LINK);

      selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");

      return new FirstPage(selenium);

}

public SecondPage openSecondPage()

{

      System.out.println("Opening Second Page");

      clickSecondPage(SECOND_PAGE_LINK);

      selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");

      return new SecondPage(selenium);

}

private void clickSecondPage(String number)

{

      selenium.open(SECOND_PAGE_LINK);

}

private void clickFirstPage(String number)

{

      selenium.open(FIRST_PAGE_LINK);

}

public void verifyListItems()

{

      System.out.println("In FirstPage Test Method");

      try

      {

            System.out.println("Running FirstPage Test");

            int i=1,j=1;

            while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

            {

            while(selenium.isElementPresent("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"))

            {

                  System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//table[@id='firstTable']//tr["+i+"]/td["+j+"]"));

                  j++;

            }

            j=1;

            i++;

      }

      }

      catch(Exception ex)

      {

                        ex.toString();

      }

}

}

4. SecondPage.java

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;

import java.util.Vector;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class SecondPage{

Selenium selenium;

public SecondPage(Selenium selenium)

{

      this.selenium = selenium;

}

public SecondPage clickFirstPage()

{

      return new SecondPage(selenium);

}

public void verifyUnorderedListItems()

{

      System.out.println("In SecondPage Test Method");

      try

      {

            int j=1;

            while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='OrderList']/ol/li["+j+"]"))

            {

                  System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='OrderList']/ol/li["+j+"]"));

                  j++;

            }

            j=1;

           

            while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='UnOrderedList']/ul/li["+j+"]"))

            {

                  System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='UnOrderedList']/ul/li["+j+"]"));

                  j++;

            }

            j=1;

            while(selenium.isElementPresent("//div[@id='Links']/a["+j+"]"))

            {

                  System.out.println("Value is " + selenium.getText("//div[@id='Links']/a["+j+"]"));

                  j++;

            }

           

      }

      catch(Exception ex)

      {

                        ex.toString();

      }

}

}

Start Selenium Server. Run TestRun.java as TestNG test.  This is a working example. Please find output
