- 2. Agenda ● What is UI Automation ● Common tools and framework ● Selenium2/WebDriver ● Continuous Integration ● Data Driven ● Keyword Driven ● Page Object Pattern ● The Future
- 3. What is UI Automation ● End to End functional test ● Executed by program ● Verify result by program ● Report defect by program ● Logging for debug
- 4. Common tools and framework ● Commercial ○ HP QuickTest Pro ○ IBM Rational Functional Tester ● Open Source ○ Selenium/WebDriver ○ Watir ○ FitNesse ○ Sikuli
- 5. Selenium2/WebDriver ● Two sophisticated browser automation frameworks are merged ○ http://seleniumhq.org/ ○ http://code.google.com/p/selenium/ ● Pros ○ APIs in popular languages ○ Multi-Browser and Multi-OS ○ Support many test frameworks ○ Support AJAX
- 6. Continuous Integration ● What is CI ● Glue in UI Automation ● Parallel test execution
- 7. Data Driven ● Test data + re-usable test logic Test data: Fields Data set 1 Data set 2 Title test title one long title Description simple desc unicode desc Test logic: ○ Navigate to target page ○ Fetch test data ○ Enter title and description ○ Submit form ○ Verify result
- 8. Keyword Driven ● Based on data driven ● Separate the test script developer and test case designer Object Action Data Comment signin_username input [email protected] username signin_password input password signin_btn click page refresh page_title check Login successfully
- 9. Page Object Pattern ● Reuse test code and reduce duplication ● Readable test code ● Focus on "What to do" instead of "How to do" ● Expose method that represent an element that can be seen and can be operated on the page driver.findElement(By.id("user")).sendKeys("magus"); driver.findElement(By.id("pwd")).sendKeys("password"); driver.findElement(By.id("submit")).click() VS login_page.login("magus", "password")
- 10. The Future ● Parallel ● Run in the cloud ● Example: http://saucelabs.com
