Someone could tell me how to write a functional application tests which combine Selenium Page Object Pattern and ExtentsReports (http://extentreports.relevantcodes.com/) to generate reports from these test cases. How to design test class? because I know that validation should be separated from page objects. What is the best approach to do this?
A sample piece of code would be very helpful
It is a good approach, of course, to separate your model (Page Objects) from you tests. For this to happen, you may use a layer of services, i.e. helper classes, which can interact both with business objects and page objects.
Note: I'm going to answer the second part of your question, not that on yet-another lib for reporting.
So, you have a business object:
public class Something {
boolean toHappen;
public Something(boolean toHappen) {
this.toHappen = toHappen;
}
public boolean isToHappen() {
return toHappen;
}
}
You also have your page:
public class ApplicationPage {
// how driver object is put here is your own business.
private static WebDriver driver;
@FindBy(id = "id")
private Button triggerButton;
public ApplicationPage() {
PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
}
public static ApplicationPage open(){
driver.get("http://page.net");
return new ApplicationPage();
}
public void trigger() {
triggerButton.click();
}
}
So in order not to mix business objects and pages in tests, you create a service:
public class InevitableService {
public static void makeHappen() {
// just a very stupid code here to show interaction
Something smth = new Something(true);
ApplicationPage page = ApplicationPage.open();
if(smth.toHappen()){
page.trigger();
}
}
}
And finally your test
public class TestClass extends Assert {
@Test
public void test() {
InevitableService.makeHappen();
assertTrue(true);
}
}
As a result:
Pros:
Cons:
Considering your reporting tool - I believe it just listens the result of you tests and sends them to server. Or it just takes the xml/html results of you tests and makes pretty and useless pie-charts. Again, has nothing to do with POP.
Steps:
1. Declare variables under Test Suite class
public ExtentReports extent ;
public ExtentTest test;
2. Create object for Extent Managers User defined class
extent = ExtentManager.instance();
3. Pass extent parameter to the Page Object Class
inbound = new DemoPageObject(driver,extent);
4. Goto page object class method and Start with "Start log"
test = extent.startTest("View details", "Unable to view details");
5. For Success steps and we need end test
test.log(LogStatus.PASS, "The list of details are successfully displaying");
test.log(LogStatus.INFO, test.addScreenCapture(ExtentManager.CaptureScreen(driver, "./Send")));
log.info("The list of details are successfully displaying ");
extent.endTest(test);
6. For Failure and no need to end test
test.log(LogStatus.FAIL, "A Technical error is displaying under ");
7. Use @AfterMethod to handle error test cases
@AfterMethod
public void tearDown(ITestResult result) {
if (result.getStatus() == ITestResult.FAILURE) {
test.log(LogStatus.FAIL, "<pre>" + result.getThrowable().getMessage() + "</pre>");
extent.endTest(test);
}
}
8. Finally Adding results to the report
@AfterTest
public void when_I_Close_Browser() {
extent.flush();
public class ExtentManager {
public static ExtentReports instance() {
ExtentReports extent;
String Path = "./ExtentReport.html";
System.out.println(Path);
extent = new ExtentReports(Path, true);
//extent.config() .documentTitle("Automation Report").reportName("Regression");
extent
.addSystemInfo("Host Name", "Anshoo")
.addSystemInfo("Environment", "QA");
return extent;
}
public static String CaptureScreen(WebDriver driver, String ImagesPath) {
TakesScreenshot oScn = (TakesScreenshot) driver;
File oScnShot = oScn.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
File oDest = new File(ImagesPath + ".jpg");
try {
FileUtils.copyFile(oScnShot, oDest);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
return ImagesPath + ".jpg";
}
}
