Study Notes

Running a Test

To run a test, select the file from the drop-down option of the run button and click to execute.
The results of the build and run operations are displayed at the bottom of the Eclipse window.

Launching a Test

Launching a test opens an actual instance of the Firefox browser and loads the page into it.
Messages at the bottom of the screenshot are in the Eclipse message area and may appear as errors, but they report the state of the driver needed to launch the browser.

Extending a Web Driver Test

A test can be extended to fill in form fields and submit the form.
Error handling is necessary to catch and report exceptions properly, as the findElement() method throws exceptions when it cannot find the specified element.

Checking Test Results

Selenium Web Driver is good at running test cases, but it does not include the functionality to evaluate the results of a test.
Test result evaluation must be done using other tools such as JUnit and TestNG.

Adding JUnit to a Project

JUnit can be added to a project at the same time as the Web Driver jar files.
To add JUnit, right-click on the project name in the left pane of Eclipse, select 'Properties', then select 'Java Build Path' and add the JUnit library to the classpath.

Integrating JUnit with Selenium

JUnit can be used to evaluate the results of a test.
The assertEquals() method terminates normally when a test runs successfully, but throws an exception when an error occurs.

Creating a Separate JUnit Test Case

A separate JUnit test case can be created to evaluate the results of a test.

Selenium Web Driver Overview

Selenium Web Driver is a replacement for the older Selenium Remote Control automation engine.
Web Driver does not use JavaScript, instead, it uses languages like Java, C#, and Ruby.
Web Driver can test more web activities such as file upload, file download, and other system access operations.

Installing Selenium Web Driver

Web Driver consists of programming language-specific libraries, making it relatively platform-independent.
All Web Driver libraries include support for the Firefox browser, but it may be necessary to install a driver utility.
Support for many other types of browsers must be downloaded and added to the development environment separately.

Components of Selenium WebDriver

Selenium Web Driver has several components, including programming language-specific libraries and driver utilities.

Installing Web Driver

In addition to the Web Driver libraries, the following programs and utilities may be needed:
- Software development IDE
- Programming language tools (JDK, Python interpreter, etc.)
- Testing libraries (Junit, TestNg, etc.)
- Other application-specific libraries
- Build/run utilities (Maven, Jenkins, etc.)
- Runtime drivers (geckodriver, etc.)

Setting up a Web Driver Test

Add the jar files to the project's build path.
Create a package and a new Java class in the project.
Start adding test code to the class.
