II. Dir Structure

1.2 ANT

To check whether Apache-ant is present in the system, perform the following steps:

1. Go to command prompt.

2. Type ant.

If ant is not installed in the computer the following message is displayed:

‘ant’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

If above message is displayed then ant has to be installed in the system before running the aravo automation scripts. Ant can be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

NOTE: You also required to check whether JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment variable settled or not. To set it up please check appendix.

The config directory contains testrun_config.xml file, and is a place holder for run configuration files.

The lib directory contains required jar files, and is a place holder for other library jars/zips.

The resources directory contains all required resources including properties files and data files, and is a place holder for other resources.

The scripts directory contains ant script to build and run automation. It also contains bat file for windows environment.

The Server directory contains selenium server jar. Download selenium server.jar from the SeleniumHQ website and place here if one not exists.

The src directory contains all java files and is a place holder for other java files.

The bin directory contains compiled classes, and is a volatile directory that is deleted by the target clean in build.xml file.

The test-results directory contains result files.

http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc2.jar



You can setup/verify application specific properties available under <TestAutomation_Project_root>\resources\application.properties.

Few of them are described below:

selenium.server

It is used to set the selenium host, default is localhost.

selenium.port

It is used to specify port selenium uses, default is 4444.

selenium.browser.url

It is used to specify the web application base URL on which we will perform the tests. This is one of the important properties that need to be verifying for correct value.

selenium.wait.timeout

Specify the wait timeout period for wait service to use in different wait conditions, i.e. the amount of time in milliseconds.

selenium.success.screenshots

Set this flag to 1 when you want screenshot to be captured with every verification point. It is ideally set to 0, when it captures a screenshot only in case of a failure in the test case.

III. Application Settings

IV. Configuration Settings

One can configure test execution by modifying run configuration xml file available under

<TestAutomation_Project_root>\config \testrun_config.xml

This is a standard TestNG configuration file where you can customize your test run. One of the important configuration settings is browser to be used. It can be set by providing value for browser parameter in configuration file.

<parameter name=”browser” value=”*chrome”/>

Value can be any browser string supported by selenium. For IE it can be “*iexplore” or “*iehta”.




IV. Configuration Settings Continued

Examples:

You can run specific group, package, classes with include/exclude options.

The configuration provided below will run all test cases from all classes in package “com.automation.test”

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”><suite name=”Test automation” verbose=”1” > <parameter name=”browser” value=”*chrome”/> <test name=”Sample test” > <packages> <package name=”com.automation.test” /> </packages> </test></suite>

Following will run test cases only form Suit1.java except TCEx

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”><suite name=”Test Automation” verbose=”1” > <parameter name=”browser” value=”*chrome”/> <test name=”Sample test” > <classes> <class name=”com.automation.test.Suit1”> <methods> <exclude name=”TCEx”></exclude> </methods> </class> </classes> </test></suite>




V. Selenium Automation Execution

VI. Automation Test Results

To specific group of test from configured classes/packages one can use method-selector.

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”>

<suite name=”Selenium web test Automation” verbose=”1” >

<parameter name=”browser” value=”*iehta”/>

<test name=”MockTests” >

<method-selectors>

<method-selector>

<script language=”beanshell”><![CDATA[

groups.containsKey(“Transaction”)

]]></script>

</method-selector>

</method-selectors>

<packages>

<package name=”com.automation.test” />

</packages>

</test>

</suite>

The following steps should be taken in order to execute an automation script.

1) Go to <TestAutomation_Project_root>\scripts.

2) Click on startSelenium.bat to start the selenium server.

3) Go to <TestAutomation_Project_root>\scripts\testRunner.

4) Click on seleniumTestRunner.bat to run the automation scripts for various test cases.

After completion of script execution, test results will be found under

<TestAutomation_Project_root>\test-results\<report-dir>\<Latest timestamp>.
