Key Features

• Explore the Selenium grid architecture and build your own grid for browser and mobile devices
• Use ExtentReports for processing results and SauceLabs for cloud-based test services
• Unlock the full potential of Selenium to test your web applications.

Book Description

Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and can easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers.You'll begin by being introduced to the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You'll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. You'll design and build a Selenium grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms.You'll strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API and learn techniques to handle real-time challenges in WebDriver. You'll perform different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will also be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework.By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver.

This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:

• Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide - Second Edition by Unmesh Gundecha
• Selenium Framework Design in Data-Driven Testing by Carl Cocchiaro

What you will learn

• Use different mobile and desktop browser platforms with Selenium 3
• Use the Actions API for performing various keyboard and mouse actions
• Design the Selenium Driver Class for local, remote, and third-party grid support
• Build page object classes with 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
• Build and use utility classes in synchronization, file I/O, reporting and test listener classes

Who this book is for

This Learning Path is ideal for software quality assurance/testing professionals, software project managers, or software developers interested in using Selenium for testing their applications. Professionals responsible for designing and building enterprise-based testing frameworks will also find this Learning Path useful. Prior programming experience in Java are TestNG is necessary.

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
