Introduction to Apache Maven

๐Ÿงฉ What is Apache Maven?
Apache Maven is a project management and build automation tool for Java applications that is based on POM(Project Object Model). For testers, it’s incredibly helpful for:
  • Managing test libraries and dependencies (like Selenium, TestNG, etc.)
  • Running your test classes automatically
  • Maintaining consistent environments across your team
Even if you don't write application code, Maven is your behind-the-scenes assistant in test automation.




๐Ÿงช Why Should Testers Use Maven?
Here’s how Maven benefits testers:
  1. Easy Dependency Management: Just define required libraries (like Selenium, TestNG) in a file called pom.xml, and Maven downloads them automatically.
  2. Consistent Test Environment: It ensures the same versions of tools/libraries are used across your team or in CI/CD pipelines.
  3. Integrates with Test Frameworks: Works smoothly with popular test tools like JUnit, TestNG, and Cucumber.
  4. Supports Continuous Integration (CI): Easily integrate with tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions for running tests automatically after every code change.
  5. Standard Project Structure: Maven uses a standard directory layout which makes it easier to organize and understand test projects.




๐Ÿš€ Benefits of Using Maven in Eclipse
Here are the key benefits of using Maven (via Eclipse) for testers:
  1. No More JAR Headaches: You don’t have to manually download and add JAR files. Maven downloads them automatically.
  2. Project Setup is Simple: Maven comes with a standard project structure that makes organizing test files easier.
  3. Smooth Integration with Test Frameworks: Maven supports tools like TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber effortlessly.
  4. Easy to Use in Eclipse: You can create, manage, and run Maven projects within Eclipse without using the command line.

Getting Started with TestNG – A Beginner-Friendly Guide

What is TestNG?
    TestNG (Test Next Generation) is a powerful open-source testing framework designed for Java. It was developed by Cedric Beust in 2004, inspired by other testing frameworks like JUnit and NUnit.
    TestNG makes writing and running automated tests easier and more flexible. It's especially known for its annotations (like @Test, @BeforeMethod, @AfterClass, etc.) that help control how and when your tests run.
    Another great feature is the DataProvider, which allows you to perform data-driven testing—running the same test with multiple sets of data.




Key Benefits of Using TestNG
Here’s why TestNG is a popular choice among developers and testers:
✅ Powerful Annotations
Easily manage your test setup and teardown using annotations like @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod, @BeforeClass, and more.

✅ Flexible Test Configuration
You can create test suites, groups, priorities, and dependencies either in a simple XML file or using annotations. This helps you run selected tests and organize them however you need.

✅ Parallel Test Execution
Run multiple tests at the same time to save time—a big advantage when testing large applications.

✅ Detailed Reporting
TestNG automatically generates HTML and XML reports after running tests. You can also integrate with third-party tools like Allure or ExtentReports for advanced visual reports.

✅ Supports All Types of Testing
Whether it’s unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, or end-to-end testing, TestNG can handle it all.




What You Need Before You Start with TestNG
Before diving into TestNG, it helps to have some background knowledge in the following areas:

๐Ÿ“˜ Basic Software Testing Concepts
Understand what test cases are, how testing works, and the types of testing (unit, integration, etc.).

☕ Java Programming Basics
Since TestNG is Java-based, you should know object-oriented programming, exception handling, and how to write simple Java code.

๐Ÿ’ป Familiarity with IDEs
Use an Integrated Development Environment like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, which offer built-in support or easy plugins for TestNG.

Automation Frameworks

Frameworks in Test Automation:
Utilizing a framework facilitates the structured organization of code, providing clear guidelines and best practices to methodically achieve desired outcomes.

Types of Automation Frameworks:
  1. Linear Automation Framework
  2. Modular Driven Framework
  3. Data-Driven Framework
  4. Keyword-Driven Framework
  5. Hybrid Testing Framework
  6. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) Framework
Let's discuss each of these in detail.




1. Linear Automation Framework
    The Linear Automation Framework, often referred to as the Record & Playback approach, is characterized by its simplicity and ease of implementation. Unlike more complex frameworks, such as Data-Driven or Keyword-Driven frameworks, this approach involves the creation of test scripts within a single class or script file.

How Does It Work?
    Testers record their interactions with the application under test using specialized tools. These interactions are then converted into script commands stored in a single script file. During playback, the recorded actions are executed sequentially, mimicking user interactions.

Advantages:
  • Quick Script Generation – Testers can create scripts quickly by recording their actions without extensive scripting knowledge.
  • Low Barrier to Entry – Beginners can start automating tests with minimal training.
  • Tool Familiarization – Helps testers become familiar with automation tools.

Disadvantages:
  • Limited Reusability – Scripts are linear and cannot be easily reused across multiple tests.
  • Hardcoded Test Data – Test data is embedded within scripts, making updates challenging.
  • Maintenance Challenges – As the test suite grows, maintaining scripts becomes cumbersome.




2. Modular Driven Framework
    The Modular Driven Framework breaks down the application into smaller, independent parts (modules). Each module is tested separately using dedicated scripts, improving reusability and organization.

Advantages:
  • Enhanced Reusability – Test scripts can be reused across different scenarios.
  • Targeted Maintenance – Changes in an application require only specific modules to be updated.
  • Cost-Efficient Maintenance – Clearly separated modules simplify updates and maintenance.
Challenges:
  • Requires Technical Expertise – Knowledge of programming and testing concepts is needed.
  • Time-Consuming Setup – Compared to linear automation, this approach requires careful planning.
  • Hardcoded Test Data – Like the Linear Framework, test data may be embedded in scripts.




3. Data-Driven Testing Framework
    This framework builds upon the Modular Driven Framework by allowing test data to be dynamically supplied from external sources, such as:
  • Excel files
  • CSV files
  • Databases
  • Text files
    Instead of embedding data within scripts, test scripts retrieve data from these external files during execution.

When to Use:
    When testing the same functionality multiple times with different sets of input data.

Advantages:
  • Separation of Test Data and Test Scripts – Updating test data does not affect scripts.
  • Improved Test Coverage – A single test script can be reused with multiple datasets.
  • Flexibility & Maintainability – Test data can be updated independently.
Disadvantages:
  • Increased Complexity – Setting up test data sources requires extra effort.
  • Requires Programming Skills – Testers must understand scripting and data handling.
  • Time-Consuming Setup – Requires significant planning and preparation.




4. Keyword-Driven Testing Framework
    This framework uses keywords stored in an external data file to drive test execution. These keywords represent specific actions to be performed, making the framework structured and reusable.

Advantages:
  • No Programming Skills Required – Testers can create tests using predefined keywords.
  • Simplified Script Creation – Once set up, writing new tests is easier.
  • High Code Reusability – Keywords can be used across multiple scripts.
  • Tool Independence – Works with various test automation tools.
  • Application Independence – Test cases can be designed even before development is complete.
Disadvantages:
  • High Initial Setup Effort – Requires significant time and automation expertise.
  • Higher Initial Investment – More suited for large applications.
  • Complex Maintenance – Managing keywords can become challenging as the framework grows.
  • Longer Learning Curve – Testers must learn how to use and manage keywords effectively.




5. Hybrid Testing Framework
    Hybrid Testing Framework combines features of multiple frameworks, such as Keyword-Driven and Data-Driven approaches, to enhance flexibility and scalability.

Key Components:
  • Driver Script – Controls test execution flow.
  • Configuration File – Stores settings and environment variables.
  • Run Manager – Determines which tests to run.
  • Test Cases & Scripts – Defines automation scenarios.
  • Object Repository – Stores UI elements for easy identification.
  • Test Data – Externalized data sources (Excel, CSV, Databases).
  • Results & Logs – Stores test execution reports.
  • Function Library – Collection of reusable functions.
  • Scheduler – Automates test execution at predefined intervals.
Advantages:
  • Best of Multiple Frameworks – Combines strengths of Keyword-Driven and Data-Driven frameworks.
  • High Flexibility & Reusability – Adaptable to different testing needs.
  • Faster Execution – Optimized test execution time.
  • Scalability – Supports multi-platform and cross-browser testing.
Disadvantages:
  • Requires Strong Technical Expertise – Developers must understand multiple frameworks.
  • Higher Initial Effort – Requires significant setup time and investment.




6. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) Framework
    BDD enables teams to create test cases in plain, human-readable language (e.g., English). This improves collaboration between testers, developers, and business analysts.

Given-When-Then Approach:
BDD follows a structured format:
  • Given – Defines initial conditions.
  • When – Describes user actions.
  • Then – Specifies expected outcomes.
Example Feature File (Cucumber - Gherkin Format): gherkin

Feature: BDD implementation using Cucumber  
Scenario: Login to Gmail using Cucumber plugin  
  Given User is navigating to the Gmail login page  
  When User enters username as "Username" and password as "Password"  
  Then User is successfully navigated to the Gmail mailbox

Advantages:
  • Improved Test Coverage – Ensures all user stories are tested.
  • Readable Scenarios – Uses natural language for easy understanding.
  • Test Automation Friendly – Works with Cucumber, SpecFlow, and JBehave.
  • Code Reusability – Steps can be reused across test cases.
  • CI/CD Integration – Easily fits into Continuous Integration pipelines.

Disadvantages:
  • Requires Collaboration – Close coordination between developers and testers is needed.
  • Risk of Misuse – If not used correctly, BDD can turn into an inefficient testing approach.

Conclusion:
Selecting the right automation framework depends on project requirements, team expertise, and long-term maintainability. Linear and Modular frameworks are best for small projects, while Data-Driven, Keyword-Driven, Hybrid, and BDD frameworks are ideal for large-scale automation efforts.

File Upload Using Selenium WebDriver

Exploring Different Approaches for File Upload with Selenium WebDriver:

........Incomplete.......
    File uploads are a common functionality on web applications, and automating this process is crucial for efficient testing with Selenium WebDriver. In this blog post, we will explore three different methods to upload files using Selenium WebDriver: 'SendKeys', the 'Robot' class, and 'AutoIT'.

Using SendKeys:
    The most straightforward approach for uploading a file in Selenium WebDriver is to use the 'SendKeys' method. This method is applicable only if the HTML input element has the attribute type="file". This attribute is specific to file upload functionality, and using Selenium's sendKeys method allows for the automatic selection of the desired file for this type of input field.
Syntax:
  1. WebElement fileInput = driver.findElement(By.id("idvlaue"));
  2. fileInput.sendKeys("path/to/your/file.txt");
Pros:
  • Directly interacts with the file input element.
  • Simple and concise code for file uploads.
  • No external dependencies are required.
Cons:
  • Limited to scenarios where the file input element is present.

Using Robot Class:
    The Robot class in Java can be used to simulate keyboard and mouse actions. In the context of the uploads, the Robot class can be used to navigate the file selection dialogue.

Example Program:
  1. import java.awt.AWTException;
  2. import java.awt.Robot;
  3. import java.awt.Toolkit;
  4. import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;
  5. import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
  6.  
  7. import org.openqa.selenium.By;
  8. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  9. import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
  10. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  11. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
  12.  
  13. public class Dummy2 {
  14. public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {
  15. ChromeOptions co = new ChromeOptions();
  16. co.addArguments("-remote-allow-origins");
  17.  
  18. WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  19.                 driver.get("https://testingcolleges.blogspot.com/2024/01/file-upload-demo-page.html");
  20.  
  21. WebElement fileUploadBtn = driver.findElement(By.className("file-label-2"));
  22. fileUploadBtn.click();
  23.  
  24. Robot rbt = new Robot();
  25. rbt.delay(2000); // just like thread.sleep
  26.  
  27. //these below 2 lines used to copy the path 
  28. StringSelection ss = new StringSelection("C:\\Users\\Dollar\\Desktop\\Dummy.txt");
  29. // copy the above path in clipboard
  30. Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);
  31. //Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents("path", null);
  32.  
  33. //perform Ctrl+V operation to pass the copied path
  34. rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
  35. rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
  36. rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
  37. rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
  38.  
  39. //Enter press
  40. rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
  41. rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
  42.  
  43. }
  44. }

Pros:
  • Works across different browsers.
  • Can handle scenarios with hidden file input fields.
Cons:
  • Requires handling keyboard events, which may be error-prone.
  • Platform-dependent and may need adjustments for different operating systems.
Using AutoIT:
    AutoIT is a scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting tasks. It can be integrated with Selenium WebDriver to handle file Uploads.
Pros:
  • Powerful for handling complex file upload scenarios.
  • Works seamlessly across different browsers and operating systems.
Cons:
  • Requires installing AutoIT and writing an external script.
  • Add an external dependency to your automation project.


Conclusion:
    Each method for file upload with Selenium WebDriver has its advantages and limitations. The choice of method depends on the specific requirements of your application and the level of control and compatibility needed. While SendKeys is suitable for simple scenarios, the Robot class and AutoIT offer more flexibility and control, making them valuable tools for handling complex file upload functionalities.




Browser Window Sizes and Positions


maximize(): The maximize() method is used to maximize the browser window. This is often done to ensure that the web page is displayed in its full size on the screen. Here's an example of how you can use the 'maximize' method in selenium with Java:

  1. public class Maximize {
  2.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  3.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  4.         driver.manage().window().maximize();
  5.     }
  6. }

How to Minimize the Browser Window in Selenium?
    Selenium's Java has no built-in method to minimize the browser window. However, Selenium's Python does have a minimize function.




getSize(): The getSize() method is used to get the height and width of a WebElement/BrowserWindow. The getSize() method returns an object of type 'Dimension', and you can use its 'getHeight' and 'getWidth' methods to obtain the height and width, respectively.

Example 1: To get the height and width of a web element.
  1. import org.openqa.selenium.By;
  2. import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
  3. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  4. import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
  5. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  6. public class GetElementSize {
  7.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  8.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  9.         driver.get("https://example.com");
  10.         WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("value"));
  11.         Dimension size = element.getSize();
  12.         System.out.println("Height: " + size.getHeight());
  13.         System.out.println("Width: " + size.getWidth());
  14.     }
  15. }
Example 2: To get the height and width of a Browser Window.
  1. import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
  2. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  3. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  4. public class GetBrowserWindowSize {
  5.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  6.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  7.         driver.get("https://example.com");
  8.         Dimension windowSize = driver.manage().window().getSize();
  9.         System.out.println("Window Height: " + windowSize.getHeight());
  10.         System.out.println("Window Width: " + windowSize.getWidth());
  11.     }
  12. }
Note: In the above example instead of creating the Dimension class object we can also directly give the methods:
driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();
driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();




Resize the Browser window:
    To resize the Browser window. 'manage().window().setSize()' is a predefined method of the Selenium 'WebDriver' class.
Syntax 1:
  1. Dimension newSize = new Dimension(800, 600); //(width, height)
  2. driver.manage().window().setSize(newSize);

Syntax 2:
  1. driver.manage().window.setSize(new Dimension(800, 600));

Example:
  1. import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
  2. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  3. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  4. public class ResizeWindow {
  5.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  6.         System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/chromedriver.exe");
  7.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  8.         driver.get("http://example.com/");
  9.         Dimension newSize = new Dimension(800, 600);
  10.         driver.manage().window().setSize(newSize);
  11.     }
  12. }
Note: In Eclipse, you may have recommend two import statements for the 'Dimension' class: 'import java.awt.Dimension;' and 'import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;'. You should only select 'import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;'. 




getPosition():
    getPosition() method gets the position of the current window, relative to the upper left corner of the screen. The method takes no arguments and returns a Point object, which contains the X and Y coordinates of the window.

Syntax:(With Point object)
  1. // Get the position of the current window
  2. Point p = driver.manage().window().getPosition();
  3. // Print the X and Y coordinates of the window
  4. System.out.println("X Coordinate: " + p.getX());
  5. System.out.println("Y Coordinate: " + p.getY());
Syntax: (We can also print the X and Y Coordinates without creating a Point object)
  1. System.out.println("X Coordinate: "driver.manage().window().getPosition().getX());
  2. System.out.println("Y Coordinate: " + driver.manage().window().getPosition().getY());

Example:
  1. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  2. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  3. public class WindowPosition {
  4.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  5.         System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/chromedriver.exe");
  6.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  7.         driver.get("http://testingcolleges.blogspot.com/");
  8.         System.out.println("X Coordinate: " + driver.manage().window().getPosition().getX());
  9.         System.out.println("Y Coordinate: " + driver.manage().window().getPosition().getY());
  10.     }
  11. }
Output:
X Coordinate: 10
Y Coordinate: 10




setPosition():
    The setPosition() method in Selenium Webdriver sets the position of the current window relative to the top left corner of the screen. The Point class instance specifies the target position of the window.

Syntax 1:
  1. Point p = new Point(250, 250);
  2. driver.manage().window().setPosition(p);
Syntax 2:
  1. driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(250, 250));

Example:
  1. import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
  2. import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
  3. import org.openqa.selenium.Point;
  4. public class Position {
  5.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  6.         System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/chromedriver.exe");
  7.         WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
  8.         driver.get("http://testingcolleges.blogspot.com/");
  9.         Point p = new Point(250,250);
  10.         driver.manage().window().setPosition(p);
  11.     }
  12. }

Locators


How to Inspect a web element:
    On every web page, you will find various web elements, and each of these elements is made up of tags, attributes, and values.
    Example: <tag attribute='values'>
  • Right-click any part of the page and Choose Inspect or Shortcut key F12.
  • Select the Element tab (by default it is selected).
  • Note: This inspect tab is called DOM(Document Object Model)
    


What is findElement?
    It is the method to locate elements on the webpage.
What is By?
    By is the mechanism used to locate elements within the document with the help of locator value.
What is a Locator?
    It is an address that identifies web elements within documents with the help of locator value.

Locators: There are eight types of locators.
  1. id
  2. name
  3. XPath
  4. CSS Selector
  5. Class Name
  6. Tag Name
  7. Link Text
  8. Partial Link Text
1. id Locator:
    If an element in your web page has an 'id' attribute, it can be identified using the value of that attribute.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.id("id_value"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.Id("id_value"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.ID, "id_value")

2. name Locator:
    If an element in your web page has a 'name' attribute, it can be identified using the value of that attribute.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.name("name_value"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.Name("name_value"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.NAME, "name_value")

3. XPath Locator:
    XPath is an XML path used for navigation through the HTML structure of the page.
    There are two types of XPath
    1. Absolute XPath
    2. Relative XPath
To learn more about XPath Click Here.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.xpath("//xpath"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//xpath"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//xpath")
Note: we can copy XPath directly from the DOM, Right-Click on the particular element field(on - DOM) then Select copy in and click on Copy XPath.

4. CSS Selector Locator:
    CSS is used to create style rules for web pages and can be used to identify any web element.
To learn how to write CSS Selector Click Here.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("value"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("value"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "value")

5. Class Name Locator:
    If an element in your web page has a 'class' attribute, it can be identified using the value of that attribute.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.className("class_value"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("class_value"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "class_value")

6. Tag Name Locator:
    This Locator is mainly used to get the list of web elements with the particular tag name. We will use this locator very rarely, because here we will assign the values based on the tag, not an attribute. 

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElements(By.TagName("a"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "a")

7. Link Text Locator:
    Text (Visible Text) used in Hyperlinks can also locate elements.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.linkText("text"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("text"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, "text")

8. Partial Link Locator:
    A part of the text(Visible Text) in the Hyperlink can also identify an element.

    Syntax (Java): driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("text"))
    Syntax (C#): driver.FindElement(By.PartialLinkText("text"))
    Syntax (Python): driver.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "text")
