JUnit Annotations Cheat Sheet

@Before is executed before each test, @BeforeClass runs once before the entire test fixture. If your test class has ten tests, @Before code will be executed ten times, but @BeforeClass will be executed only once. In general, you use @BeforeClass when multiple tests need to share the same computationally expensive setup code. Establishing a database connection falls into this category. You can move […]

Assersion vs IF ElSE Statement

handle browser user authentication pop up

One of the usual problems in testing is getting access to the test environment. Usually a test server is setup where a users authentication is required in order to access the application under test.

JAVA ROBOTS

This class is used to generate native system input events for the purposes of test automation, self-running demos, and other applications where control of the mouse and keyboard is needed. The primary purpose of Robot is to facilitate automated testing of Java platform implementations.   http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html

Setting up Credentials for HtmlUnitDriver

TestVariables.driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true) { protected WebClient modifyWebClient(WebClient client) { // This class ships with HtmlUnit itself DefaultCredentialsProvider creds = new DefaultCredentialsProvider(); // Set some example credentials creds.addCredentials(“USERNAME”, “PASSWORD”); // And now add the provider to the webClient instance client.setCredentialsProvider(creds); return client; } };

Starting Remote WebDrivers

  DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); capabilities.setCapability(“version”, “3.6”); capabilities.setCapability(“platform”, Platform.LINUX); WebDriver = driver = new RemoteWebDriver( new URL(“http://***.***.*.**:****/wd/hub”), capabilities); TestVariables.driver.get(“http://www.google.com”);  

Get Driver Information

Capabilities caps = ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).getCapabilities(); String browserName = caps.getBrowserName(); String browserVersion = caps.getVersion();

Use common @before and @after Class
