Build Framework from Scratch

Build Framework from Scratch


1. Creating Maven Test Project with Eclipse Integration (including configure framework dependencies in pox.xml)
2. Creating Base and utility functions (@Test)
3. Organizing Page Objects (Create "pageObjects" package. Create "resources" package including base.java and data.properties)
4. Adding Tests in the "test" source folder
5. Datadriving/Parameterizing Tests  (data.properties, @DataProvider)
6. Converting into TestNG Framework (add @BeforeTest initialize(), @AfterTest tearDown(), create testng.xml to run all the test cases at one click)
7. Asserting the Testcases with Validation  (Assert.assertEquals(), Assert.assertTrue())
8. Integrate TestNG Framwork into Maven (Integrate testng.xml into Maven pom.xml, add plugin, run with "mvn clean compile", "mvn test")
7. Log4j API for Logging inside Framework (add log4j dependency in pom.xml, create log4j2.xml in resources package, set Project->Build Automatically)
    Give below <resource> tag in pom.xml, so Maven will look into src/main/resources and execute log4j2.xml, so log.info in src/test/java will be identified and executed.
    Below <resource> tag shows the path src/main/resources to find out log4j2.xml:
    
    <resources>
        <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
    </resources>

Refresh the project, then you will see logs folder with logs under Project directory.

8. Testng Listeners
9. Screenshot on Test Failures
    Add below method in Base.java for getting screenshot:
public void getScreenShot(String result) throws IOException{
File src = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(src, new File("E://selenium//mavenRepo//ScreenShot//" + result + "screenshot.png"));

}

Add Listener.java class in src/test/java/academy package. In this class, implements ITestListener interface, add unimplemented methods,
call base.getScreenShot() in method onTestFailure().
   // screenshot
try {
base.getScreenShot(result.getName());
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
    
    Then add Listener.java path to testng.xml to inform testng.xml where the Listeners.java is located.
    <listeners>
<listener class-name="academy.Listeners" />
</listeners>

10. Creating Excellent HTML reports for Test Results

1> Create extentreports dependency in pom.xml
http://extentreports.com/ -> DOCUMENTATION -> Version3 -> Java -> Maven(left side Menu) -> add dependency to pom.xml
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>
    <artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.2</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.relevantcodes</groupId>
    <artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>
    <version>2.40.2</version>
  </dependency>
2> Create ExtentReporterNG.java in resources source folder.

3> Add path to testng.xml listener tag to tell testng.xml where the ExtentReporterNG.java located.
<listeners>
<listener class-name="academy.Listeners" />
<listener class-name="resources.ExtentReporterNG" />
</listeners>

4> Execute test
Refresh the project when the test execution is done.
If run test with testng.xml, the ExtentReportsTestNG.xml will be created in test-output folder.
If run test with maven command, the ExtentReportsTestNG.xml will be created in target folder.

11. Jenkins - Continuous Integration
1> Run Jenkins
   > cd E:\selenium\jenkins
   > E:\selenium\jenkins

2> Copy prject to .jenkins folder
Copy the Project "MavenProject"(E:\selenium\mavenRepo) to C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\

3> Integrate TestNG Reporting Plugin into Jenkins job
Plugin Manager -> install TestNG Results Plugin -> Install without restart

4> Configure job
http://localhost:8080 -> New Item -> freestyle project -> Advanced Project Options -> Use custom workspace 
-> Directory: ${JENKINS_HOME}/MavenProject (it will point to C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\MavenProject)
-> Build periodically: H 6 * * *
-> Build -> Invoke top-level Maven targets -> Maven Version (Maven need to be configured previously) -> Goals: test -PRegression
-> Post-build Actions -> Publish TestNG Results
-> Save
