Selenium with Java POC - Proof of Concept
Key Features and Examples
1. Introduction to Selenium:
Selenium is an open-source automation framework for web applications.
Key Features:
- Cross-browser testing.
- Support for multiple programming languages like Java, Python, etc.
- Integration with testing frameworks like TestNG.
2. Selenium WebDriver Setup:
- Add Selenium dependency to your Maven POM file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>4.13.0</version>
</dependency>
3. Basic Selenium Test with Java:
Code Example:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class SeleniumExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.example.com");
System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
4. Locating Elements:
Selenium supports multiple ways to locate web elements.
Code Example:
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("elementId"));
element.click();
Locator Strategies:
- By.id
- By.name
- By.className
- By.xpath
- By.cssSelector
5. Handling Dropdowns:
Code Example:
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("dropdownId")));
dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Option1");
6. Handling Alerts:
Code Example:
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
7. Implicit and Explicit Waits:
Implicit Wait:
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
Explicit Wait:
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("elementId")));
8. Taking Screenshots:
Code Example:
File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("path/to/screenshot.png"));
9. Page Object Model (POM):
Code Example:
public class LoginPage {
private WebDriver driver;
public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
public void login(String username, String password) {
driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);
driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();
10. Integration with TestNG:
Code Example:
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class TestNGSeleniumTest {
@Test
public void testMethod() {
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.example.com");
driver.quit();
11. Running Tests in Parallel:
TestNG XML Example:
<suite name="Suite" parallel="methods" thread-count="2">
<test name="Test">
<classes>
<class name="com.example.SeleniumTest" />
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
12. Generating Reports:
- TestNG generates default reports in the `test-output` folder.
