BrowserStack Examples TestNG

Introduction

TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful.

This BrowserStack Example repository demonstrates a Selenium test framework written in TestNG with parallel testing capabilities. The Selenium test scripts are written for the open source BrowserStack Demo web application (Github). This BrowserStack Demo App is an e-commerce web application which showcases multiple real-world user scenarios. The app is bundled with offers data, orders data and products data that contains everything you need to start using the app and run tests out-of-the-box.

The Selenium tests are run on different platforms like on-prem, docker and BrowserStack using various run configurations and test capabilities.

  Gradle:

   gradle clean build

About the tests in this repository

This repository contains the following Selenium tests:

Module	Test name	Description
E2E	OrderTest	This test scenario verifies successful product purchase lifecycle end-to-end. It demonstrates the Page Object Model design pattern and is also the default test executed in all the single test run profiles.
Login	LoginTest	This test verifies the login workflow with different types of valid login users.
Login	LoginFailTest	This test verifies the login workflow error.
Login	LoginDataDrivenTest	This test verifies the login for all error cases in a datadriven way
Login	LoginDataDrivenReadFromCSVTest	This test verifies the login for all error cases in a datadriven way with CSV-file
Login	LoginRequestedTest	This test verifies that the login page is shown when you access the favourites page with being logged in
Offers	OfferTest	This test mocks the GPS location for Singapore and verifies that the product offers applicable for the Singapore location are shown.
Product	FilterTest	This test verifies that both filter options are working
User	UserTest	The first test verifies that the product images load for user: "image_not_loading_user" on the e-commerce application. Since the images do not load, the test case assertion fails. The second test verifies that existing orders are shown for user: "existing_orders_user"

Test infrastructure environments

• On-premise/self-hosted
• Docker
• BrowserStack

Configuring the maximum parallel test threads for this repository

For all the parallel run configuration profiles, you can configure the maximum parallel test threads by changing the settings below.

• Docker

  [File name / path] [Configuration attribute] = [Configuration value]

• BrowserStack

  Maven:

  pom.xml

  <testng.parallel>classes</testng.parallel>
  <testng.threadCount>5</testng.threadCount>

  Gradle:

  gradle.properties

  testngParallel=classes
  testngThreadCount=5

Test Reporting

• Allure reports

---

On Premise / Self Hosted

This infrastructure points to running the tests on your own machine using a browser (e.g. Chrome) using the browser's driver executables (e.g. ChromeDriver for Chrome). Selenium enables this functionality using WebDriver for many popular browsers.

Prerequisites

• For this infrastructure configuration (i.e on-premise), ensure that the ChromeDriver executable is placed in the /src/test/resources/drivers folder.

Note: The ChromeDriver version must match the Chrome browser version on your machine.

Running Your Tests

Run a specific test on your own machine

• How to run the test?

  To run the default test scenario (e.g. End to End Scenario) on your own machine, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P on-prem

  Gradle:

  gradle clean on-prem

  To run a specific test scenario, use the following command with the additional 'test' argument:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P on-prem -Dtest=LoginDataDrivenTest
  

  Gradle:

  gradle clean on-prem -Ptest-name=LoginDataDrivenTest

  where, the argument test or test-name can be any testclass implemented this repository.

• Output

  This run profile executes a specific test scenario on a single browser instance on your own machine.

Run the entire test suite on your own machine

• How to run the test?

  To run the entire test suite on your own machine, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P on-prem-suite

  Gradle:

  gradle clean on-prem-suite

• Output

  This run profile executes the entire test suite sequentially on a single browser, on your own machine.

---

Docker

Docker is an open source platform that provides the ability to package and test applications in an isolated environment called containers.

Prerequisites

• Install and start Docker.

• Note: Docker should be running on the test machine. Ensure Docker Compose is installed as well.

• Run docker-compose pull from the docker directory of the repository.

Running Your Tests

Run a specific test on the docker infrastructure

• How to run the test?

  • Start the Docker by running the following command:

  docker-compose up -d

  • To run the default test scenario (e.g. End to End Scenario) on your own machine, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P docker

  Gradle:

  gradle clean docker

  To run a specific test scenario, use the following command with the additional 'test-name' argument:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P docker -Dtest=LoginDataDrivenTest

  Gradle:

  gradle clean docker -Ptest-name=LoginDataDrivenTest

  where, the argument test or test-name can be any testclass implemented in this repository.

• After tests are complete, you can stop the Docker by running the following command:

  docker-compose down

• Output

  This run profile executes a specific test scenario on a single browser deployed on a docker image.

Run the entire test suite in parallel using Docker

• How to run the test?

  • Start the docker image first by running the following command:

  docker-compose up -d

  • To run the entire test suite in parallel on the docker image, use the following command:

  Maven:

  mvn clean test -P docker-parallel

  Gradle:

  gradle clean docker-parallel

  • After the tests are complete stop the Selenium grid by running the following command:

  docker-compose down

• Output

  This run profile executes the entire test suite in parallel across multiple instances of the same browser, deployed on a docker image.

• Note: By default, this execution would run maximum 5 test threads in parallel on Docker. Refer to the section "Configuring the maximum parallel test threads for this repository" for updating the parallel thread count based on your requirements.

BrowserStack

BrowserStack provides instant access to 2,000+ real mobile devices and browsers on a highly reliable cloud infrastructure that effortlessly scales as testing needs grow.

Prerequisites

• Create a new BrowserStack account or use an existing one.

• Identify your BrowserStack username and access key from the BrowserStack Automate Dashboard and export them as environment variables using the below commands.

  • For *nix based and Mac machines:

  export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> &&
  export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

npx percy exec -- mvn clean test -P percy

Gradle:

npx percy exec -- gradle clean percy

2. Set the changeCSS property in the src/test/java/com/browserstack/test/login/LoginVisuaalTest directory to true.

3. Run the test again.

4. View your Project in the Percy dashboard and verify the differences.

Run the Ignore Region Test

In this section, we will run the test that ignores a specific area of a webpage. In a real-world situation, you can think of dynamic content and advertisements where this use case applies.
