Pistold

Platform for Internet Site Testing Over Long Distances

• A simple automation test project - using Selenium - built using Maven
• The sample connects to GitHub in Chrome/Firefox/IE web Driver(s) and clicks a link
• has examples of using Data Driven and Behavior Driven Testing frameworks
• Here's a test run of a sample project: https://youtu.be/7fYD-rgSaR0

PreReq

• Requires git, maven, selenium (Jar files and webdriver EXEs), JDK (1.8 or greater)
• For the IDE, we can use Eclipse, VS Studio Code, etc

Install

• Clone/download this repo

git clone https://github.com/clynton/Pistold.git MyAutomationTestr

Setup

1. If using eclipse: Import Project > Maven > Existing Maven Project
2. Change the values of 'groupId' and 'artifactId' in pom.xml
3. Update the project after changing the POM: Right-Click project > Maven > Update Project
4. Right-Click project > Properties > Libraries
5. Edit the JDK/JRE setting if required: (or Add Library > JRE System Library > select one)
6. Change the paths to the log files in log4j.properties
7. Change the paths for SeleniumDriverPaths in configSettings.java

Try It

1. Right-Click loadHomepageInDiffBrowsers.java > Run as TestNG Test
2. Right-Click bddRunnerTest.java > Run as JUnit Test
3. Run our tests using maven (can be done in a bat file - using 'call mvn test' if so)

cd MyAutomationTestr
mvn test

Validation

1. The Console/Output might show some warnings, but there shouldn't be any major errors
2. Errors might result from missing/outdated Jar/Lib files, bad path or config values, etc
3. Check that there's stuff in app.log after the test run
4. Check files under target like htmlreports/index.html and cucumber-reports/report.html

Next Steps

1. Change the url and title page in testData.java
2. Remove extra things if desired - ex: testDataFromPropertyFile
3. Add test case classes similar to loadHomepageInDiffBrowsers.java
4. Use the batch file in jenkins, windows task manager, etc

TO DO

• maybe use POI to pull test data from Excel files - keyword driven framework
• maybe setup a Selenium Grid environment - having a local hub and nodes...
