Learn end-to-end automation testing techniques for web and mobile browsers using Selenium WebDriver, AppiumDriver, Java, and TestNG
Key Features:
- Explore the Selenium Grid architecture and build your own grid for browser and mobile devices
- Use ExtentReports for processing results and Sauce Labs for cloud-based test services
- Unlock the full potential of Selenium to test your web applications
Book Description:
Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and learn to easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers.
You'll begin by focusing on the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You'll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. Next, you'll design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms. You'll also strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API, and learn techniques to tackle real-time challenges in WebDriver. Later chapters will guide you through performing different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework.
By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver.
This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt books:
- Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide - Second Edition by Unmesh Gundecha
- Selenium Framework Design in Data-Driven Testing by Carl Cocchiaro
What You Will Learn:
- Use different mobile and desktop browser platforms with Selenium 3
- Use the Actions API for performing different keyboard and mouse actions
- Design the Selenium Driver Class for local, remote, and third-party grid support
- Build page object classes with the Selenium Page Object Model
- Develop data-driven test classes using the TestNG framework
- Encapsulate data using the JSON protocol
- Build a Selenium Grid for RemoteWebDriver testing
- Build and use utility classes in synchronization, file I/O, reporting and test listener classes
Who this book is for:
This Learning Path is ideal for software quality assurance/testing professionals, software project managers, or software developers interested in using Selenium for testing their applications. Professionals responsible for designing and building enterprise-based testing frameworks will also find this Learning Path useful. Prior programming experience in Java are TestNG is necessary.
