- 20. @BagmarAnand What is Selenium? @BagmarAnand Selenium WebDriver IDE Grid https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/getting_started/quick/
- 21. @BagmarAnand How does WebDriver work? @BagmarAnand Selenium Browser Drivers Browsers Wire Protocol over HTTP HTTP over HTTP Server Test Scripts use Selenium Client Libraries
- 23. @BagmarAnand How does Appium work? @BagmarAnand HTTP over HTTP Server Test Scripts use Appium Client Libraries Devices https://appiumpro.com/editions/89-understanding-appium-drivers-and-how-to-choose-which-one-to-use Appium Drivers
- 24. @BagmarAnand How does Appium works? @BagmarAnand https://appiumpro.com/editions/89-understanding-appium-drivers-and-how-to-choose-which-one-to-use • You write your tests using one of Appium client libraries • Your tests calls the Webdriver API • The Webdriver sends the request in form of json via http request to the Appium server. • The Appium server, under the hood invokes vendor specific mechanisms to execute the test commands • The client (devices or emulators) responds back to Appium server • Appium server logs the results in console.

- 47. @BagmarAnand Running the Appium Tests Local & CI @BagmarAnand
- 48. @BagmarAnand • From IDE • From Command Line • From CI • Device management Running the Appium Tests @BagmarAnand
- 50. @BagmarAnand • Page-Object • Business Layer • Composition • Factory Method • Singleton -> DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU ARE VERY SURE Commonly used Design Patterns @BagmarAnand
- 51. @BagmarAnand • Get information from the page • Do actions on the page • Page Objects cannot differentiate between right or wrong! • No assertions in the Page Object Page-Object Model @BagmarAnand
- 52. @BagmarAnand • The page object will contain the representation of the page, and the services the page provides via methods • Single source for the services or operations offered by the page • Clean separation between test code and page specific code • Page objects themselves should never make verifications or assertions • “Page Component Objects” that represent discrete chunks of the page and can be included in page objects -> Composite Pattern • https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/guidelines_and_recommendations/page_objec t_models/ Page-Object Model @BagmarAnand
- 53. @BagmarAnand • Test intent gets polluted • Duplication of Test intent & implementation • Intent becomes Imperative • Maintenance challenges • Scaling challenges Limitations of Page-Object Pattern @BagmarAnand
- 54. @BagmarAnand • Test speaks the “business” language • Test orchestrates business operations • Business operations orchestrate other business operations & page objects • Assertions in business operations • Declarative style of writing the test • Clear intent • Executable business requirements / documentation • Great resource for onboarding new team members Business-Layer Page-Object Pattern @BagmarAnand
- 56. @BagmarAnand Why do we need to think differently about Test Data? @BagmarAnand
- 57. @BagmarAnand • Data is complex • Needs to mimic ‘real’ data • Needs to be unique • Data can be nested • Though specified as static, may need to be Dynamic • Data can be shared and reused Characteristics of Test Data @BagmarAnand
- 58. @BagmarAnand • In Test implementation • In Test specification / intent • In code … separate data structures / classes / etc. • External files Different ways to specify Test Data @BagmarAnand
- 59. @BagmarAnand • CSV • Property • XML • YAML • JSON • Database • Excel Examples of Test Data in External Sources @BagmarAnand
- 60. @BagmarAnand • Usable • Easy to specify • Easy to read and consume (by test implementation) • Ability to override specified data, easily Criteria for selecting Test Data file format @BagmarAnand
- 61. @BagmarAnand • Consistent way to specify test data • Read the data as Business Entities • Override as appropriate • Create DSL to giving meaning to data • Implement Test Data Entity Utilities – ex: Build / Equals / Copy / Find / etc. Tips for implementing Test Data Strategy @BagmarAnand
- 62. @BagmarAnand Which is the best Test Data pattern to use? @BagmarAnand
- 63. @BagmarAnand It depends on the “CONTEXT” @BagmarAnand https://theieltsgenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/depends.jpg
- 64. @BagmarAnand Test Reporting Default reports Custom reporters @BagmarAnand
- 65. @BagmarAnand • Intent of executed test is seen clearly • Includes logs / screenshots / video of test execution • Showcases the functional coverage from the execution • Identifies trends of execution results • Includes functional performance benchmarking Characteristics of a good report! @BagmarAnand
- 66. @BagmarAnand • TestNG reports • Junit reports • reportportal.io - https://reportportal.io/ • Cucumber-html-reporting - https://www.npmjs.com/package/cucumber-html-reporter • Allure - http://allure.qatools.ru/ • Extent - https://extentreports.com/ Test Reporting options @BagmarAnand
