How To Setup a Selenium WebDriver Maven Project in Eclipse ?

By -


Pre-requisite
  • To use Eclipse for Java programming, you need to first install Java Development Kit (JDK). Read How to Install JDK for Windows.

  • Before the start, please check if you have the Eclipse IDE installed on your system. If it’s not there on your system, then please install it from the following Link: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

  • For your note, there are different versions of Eclipse available like the Windows-32/64 bit, Linux, and MAC OS X operating systems. Hence, download the latest version of Eclipse that suits your system configuration.
  • After the completion of the previous step, locate and start the “eclipse.exe” from the folder where you’d saved the Eclipse binary. And define a path for the “Workspace” which you’ll be using to setup Selenium Webdriver project.
 
Create a new Project

  
1. Add a New Java Project in Eclipse IDE

Open Eclipse IDE, as described in the above steps and select “Project” from the list of project types to create a new module.
This project will get automatically saved to the Workspace that you would have specified previously.


2. Now select Maven project from wizard
 


3. Tick the <Create a Simple Project (skip archetype selection)> checkbox and click Next.
 
  
4. Fill the group id, artifact id, and name. And click the Finish button to create the project.




  
5. The project structure would look something like the one shown in the below image.
 




6. Also, you must make sure that the Installed JRE setting is correctly pointing to a JDK path on your system. You can change it from the Preferences window.
 



7. Every maven project uses a POM file to add the required dependencies. So we’ll also be adding some libs required for our Webdriver maven project. Namely, these are the Selenium and TestNG JAR files. Please check from the below screenshot.
Note: Make sure you provide the correct version for each dependency you add in the POM.


This way we create Selenium Maven Project in Eclipse.

Let's kick start your Selenium Test Automation Framework To Generate Test Reports (TestNG,Extent Report)

By -
Image
Why ? As we all are aware reporting is an integral and very important part of any testing automation framework. Normally in any testing framework we use either default TestNG Report, Allure Report or most widely used as Extent Report. Even the most thorough Selenium testing scripts will prove insufficient without helpful reporting to match. Without reporting, all the hard work that you put into writing and executing your test cases will be lost when there’s no way to track the information and communicate it with others on your team. Selenium doesn’t support report generation, but it’s easy enough to do with the right tools. Once you become accustomed to good automation and reporting practices, you’re on track for being a Selenium master, which is why we have the methods to get you there. TestNG TestNG is a unit testing framework with a library that includes a default reporting feature to generate a test output reports to a folder. The nice thing about this is that yo...

Automation has brought a revolutionary change in the IT industry. The ripples of automation are being felt across an array of industries. Automation has made human work much easier by automating repetitive mundane tasks with lowered costs, increased reliability and quality output. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) are driving the world towards digitalization. Using AI and ML, manual tasks are automated, that’s where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) comes into the picture. And so, RPA is being considered as one of the top trending technologies in the field of software testing industry. “The robotic process automation software market will grow by 41% year over year to 2020.” - Gartner What is RPA? RPA is the technology that creates a virtual workforce also known as software bots to imitate human actions and automate repetitive and rule-based processes. RPA enables work to go...

TestNG is a Java testing framework, inspired by JUnit and NUnit. It overcomes the limitations and drawbacks of JUnit and introduces a whole new set of features, making TestNG more powerful and user-friendly. The NG stands for Next Generation, signifying the new functionalities that TestNG brings to the table. From simple unit testing to complex integrated testing, it is designed to simplify all your testing requirements such as functional testing, regression, end-to-end, and more. Before we learn how to use TestNG, let’s take a look at some of the advantages of using this testing framework: Simplified annotations  :  Annotations have been simplified, making it easier for testers to understand them. Results in HTML :  It generates reports in HTML. Multiple test-cases at once : Using TestNG Suite (testing.xml), which is essentially an xml file, testers can execute a number of test cases at a time. In this xml file, ...
