Web applications are difficult to test because so much depends on the way a user interacts with individual pages. The Selenium WebDriver web testing framework helps developers build reliable and maintainable test automation for their web applications across multiple browsers, operating systems and programming languages. Much like a human, it can click on links, fill out forms, and read web pages. Unlike a human, it never gets bored. WebDriver can do nearly anything it's asked to do-the trick is to come up with a unified approach to testing. Fortunately, that's where this book really shines. Selenium WebDriver in Practice is a hands-on guide to dozens of specific techniques developers can use to get the most out of WebDriver in test automation development. Following a cookbook- style Problem/Solution/Discussion format, this practical handbook gives readers instantly-useful solutions for important areas like interacting with and testing web applications and using the WebDriver APIs. Readers graduate from WebDriver fundamentals to must-have practices ranging from how to interact with, control and verify web pages and exception handling, to more complex interactions like page objects, alerts, and JavaScript, as well as integrating with Continuous Integration tools, mobile testing, and much more. By the end of the book, readers will be confident and skilled at testing their web applications with WebDriver. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
Get writing tests and learn to design your own testing framework with Selenium WebDriver API Key FeaturesLearn Selenium from the ground upDesign your own testing frameworkCreate reusable functionality in your frameworkBook Description Selenium WebDriver is a platform-independent API for automating the testing of both browser and mobile applications. It is also a core technology in many other browser automation tools, APIs, and frameworks. This book will guide you through the WebDriver APIs that are used in automation tests. Chapter by chapter, we will construct the building blocks of a page object model framework as you learn about the required Java and Selenium methods and terminology. The book starts with an introduction to the same-origin policy, cross-site scripting dangers, and the Document Object Model (DOM). Moving ahead, we'll learn about XPath, which allows us to select items on a page, and how to design a customized XPath. After that, we will be creating singleton patterns and drivers. Then you will learn about synchronization and handling pop-up windows. You will see how to create a factory for browsers and understand command design patterns applicable to this area. At the end of the book, we tie all this together by creating a framework and implementing multi-browser testing with Selenium Grid. What you will learnUnderstand what an XPath is and how to design a customized XPathLearn how to create a Maven project and buildCreate a Singleton driverGet to grips with Jenkins integrationCreate a factory for browsersImplement multi-browser testing with Selenium GridCreate a sample pop-up window and JavaScript alertReport using Extent ReportsWho this book is for This book is for software testers or developers.
If you are a quality testing professional, or a software or web application developer looking to create automation test scripts for your web applications, with an interest in Python, then this is the perfect guide for you. Python developers who need to do Selenium testing need not learn Java, as they can directly use Selenium for testing with this book.
Take a deep dive into building data-driven test frameworks using Selenium WebDriver Key Features A comprehensive guide to designing data-driven test frameworks using the Selenium 3 WebDriver API, AppiumDriver API, Java-Bindings, and TestNG Learn how to use Selenium Page Object Design Patterns and D.R.Y. (Don’t Repeat Yourself) Approaches to software development in automated testing Discover the Selenium Grid Architecture and build your own grid for browser and mobile devices Use third party tools and services like ExtentReports for results processing, reporting, and SauceLabs for cloud-based test services Book Description The Selenium WebDriver 3.x Technology is an open source API available to test both Browser and Mobile applications. It is completely platform independent in that tests built for one browser or mobile device, will also work on all other browsers and mobile devices. Selenium supports all major development languages which allow it to be tied directly into the technology used to develop the applications. This guide will provide a step-by-step approach to designing and building a data-driven test framework using Selenium WebDriver, Java, and TestNG. The book starts off by introducing users to the Selenium Page Object Design Patterns and D.R.Y Approaches to Software Development. In doing so, it covers designing and building a Selenium WebDriver framework that supports both Browser and Mobile Devices. It will lead the user through a journey of architecting their own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, JSON Data Provider, Data-Driven Test Classes, and support for third party tools and plugins. Users will learn how to design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to allow the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, versions, and platforms, and how they can leverage third party grids in the Cloud like SauceLabs. Other topics covered include designing abstract base and sub-classes, inheritance, dual-driver support, parallel testing, testing multi-branded applications, best practices for using locators, and data encapsulation. Finally, you will be presented with a sample fully-functional framework to get them up and running with the Selenium WebDriver for browser testing. By the end of the book, you will be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver. What you will learn Design the Selenium Driver Class for local, remote, and third party grid support Build Page Object Classes using the Selenium Page Object Model Develop Data-Driven Test Classes using the TestNG framework Encapsulate Data using the JSON Protocol Build a Selenium Grid for RemoteWebDriver Testing Construct Utility Classes for use in Synchronization, File I/O, Reporting and Test Listener Classes Run the sample framework and see the benefits of a live data-driven framework in real-time Who this book is for This book is intended for software quality assurance/testing professionals, software project managers, or software developers with prior experience in using Selenium and Java to test web-based applications.This book is geared towards the quality assurance and development professionals responsible for designing and building enterprise-based testing frameworks.The user should have a working knowledge of the Java, TestNG, and Selenium technologies
