First Selenium Webdriver Script: JAVA Code Example

First Selenium Webdriver Script: JAVA Code Example
Using the Java class "myclass"  that we created in the previous tutorial, let us try to create a WebDriver script that would:

1.      fetch Mercury Tours' homepage
2.      verify its title
3.      print out the result of the comparison
4.      close it before ending the entire program.
WebDriver Code
Below is the actual WebDriver code for the logic presented by the scenario above
Note: Starting Firefox 35, you need to use gecko driver created by Mozilla for Web Driver. Also, if the code does not work, downgrade to Firefox version 47 or below. Gecko has compatibility issues with recent versions of Firefox.
package newproject;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class PG1 {
 
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // declaration and instantiation of objects/variables
         WebDriver driver ;
         System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","C:\\geckodriver.exe");
         driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        String baseUrl = "http://newtours.demoaut.com";
        String expectedTitle = "Welcome: Mercury Tours";
        String actualTitle = "";
 
        // launch Fire fox and direct it to the Base URL
        driver.get(baseUrl);
 
        // get the actual value of the title
        actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
 
        /*
         * compare the actual title of the page with the expected one and print
         * the result as "Passed" or "Failed"
         */
        if (actualTitle.contentEquals(expectedTitle)){
            System.out.println("Test Passed!");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Test Failed");
        }
       
        //close Fire fox
        driver.close();
       
        // exit the program explicitly
        System.exit(0);
    }
 
}

Explaining the code

Importing Packages

To get started, you need to import following two packages:
1.      org.openqa.selenium.*- contains the WebDriver class needed to instantiate a new browser loaded with a specific driver
2.      org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver - contains the FirefoxDriver class needed to instantiate a Firefox-specific driver onto the browser instantiated by the WebDriver class
If your test needs more complicated actions such as accessing another class, taking browser screenshots, or manipulating external files, definitely you will need to import more packages.

Instantiating objects and variables

Normally, this is how a driver object is instantiated.
A FirefoxDriver class with no parameters means that the default Firefox profile will be launched by our Java program. The default Firefox profile is similar to launching Firefox in safe mode (no extensions are loaded).
For convenience, we saved the Base URL and the expected title as variables.

Launching a Browser Session

WebDriver's get() method is used to launch a new browser session and directs it to the URL that you specify as its parameter.

Get the Actual Page Title

The WebDriver class has the getTitle() method that is always used to obtain the page title of the currently loaded page.

Compare the Expected and Actual Values

This portion of the code simply uses a basic Java if-else structure to compare the actual title with the expected one.

Terminating a Browser Session

The "close()" method is used to close the browser window.

Terminating the Entire Program

If you use this command without closing all browser windows first, your whole Java program will end while leaving the browser window open.

Running the Test

There are two ways to execute code in Eclipse IDE.
1.      On Eclipse's menu bar, click Run > Run.
2.      Press Ctrl+F11 to run the entire code.
 If you did everything correctly, Eclipse would output "Test Passed!"

Handling Dynamic Web Tables Using Selenium WebDriver

By -
Image
There are two types of HTML tables published on the web- Static tables : Data is static i.e. Number of rows and columns are fixed. Dynamic tables : Data is dynamic i.e. Number of rows and columns are NOT fixed.Handling static table is easy, but dynamic table is a little bit difficult as rows and columns are not constant. Using X-Path to Locate Web Table Elements Before we locate web element, first let's understands- What is a web element? Web elements are nothing but HTML elements like textbox, dropdowns radio buttons, submit buttons, etc. These HTML elements are written with  start  tag and ends with an  end  tag. For Example, <p>  My First HTML Document </p>. Steps for getting X-path of web element that we want to locate. Step 1)  In Chrome, Go to  http://money.rediff.com/gainers/bsc/daily/groupa Step 2)  Right click on web element whose x-path is to be fetched. In our case, right click on "Company" Se...

Verify Specific Position of an Element

By -
Verify Specific Position of an Element Selenium IDE indicates the position of an element by measuring (in pixels) how far it is from the left or top edge of the browser window. ·          verifyElementPositionLeft   - verifies if the specified number of pixels match the distance of the element from the left edge of the page. This will return FALSE if the value specified does not match the distance from the left edge. ·          verifyElementPositionTop   - verifies if the specified number of pixels match the distance of the element from the top edge of the page. This will return FALSE if the value specified does not match the distance from the top edge.

Read it out for TESTNG before going for an iterview

How to run a group of test cases using TestNG? TestNG allows you to perform sophisticated groupings of test methods. Not only can you declare that methods belong to groups, but you can also specify groups that contain other groups. Then TestNG can be invoked and asked to include a certain set of groups (or regular expressions) while excluding another set.  This gives you maximum flexibility in how you partition your tests and doesn’t require you to recompile anything if you want to run two different sets of tests back to back. Groups are specified in your testng.xml file and can be found either under the <test> or <suite> tag. Groups specified in the <suite> tag apply to all the <test> tags underneath. @Test (groups = { "smokeTest", "functionalTest" }) public void loginTest(){ System.out.println("Logged in successfully"); }   How to create Group of Groups in TestNG? Groups can also inc...
