Take a deep dive into building data-driven test frameworks using Selenium WebDriver Key Features • A comprehensive guide to designing data-driven test frameworks using the Selenium 3 WebDriver API, AppiumDriver API, Java-Bindings, and TestNG • Learn how to use Selenium Page Object Design Patterns and D.R.Y. (Don’t Repeat Yourself) Approaches to software development in automated testing • Discover the Selenium Grid Architecture and build your own grid for browser and mobile devices • Use third party tools and services like ExtentReports for results processing, reporting, and SauceLabs for cloud-based test services Book Description The Selenium WebDriver 3.x Technology is an open source API available to test both Browser and Mobile applications. It is completely platform independent in that tests built for one browser or mobile device, will also work on all other browsers and mobile devices. Selenium supports all major development languages which allow it to be tied directly into the technology used to develop the applications. This guide will provide a step-by-step approach to designing and building a data-driven test framework using Selenium WebDriver, Java, and TestNG.

The book starts off by introducing users to the Selenium Page Object Design Patterns and D.R.Y Approaches to Software Development. In doing so, it covers designing and building a Selenium WebDriver framework that supports both Browser and Mobile Devices. It will lead the user through a journey of architecting their own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, JSON Data Provider, Data-Driven Test Classes, and support for third party tools and plugins.

Users will learn how to design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to allow the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, versions, and platforms, and how they can leverage third party grids in the Cloud like SauceLabs.

Other topics covered include designing abstract base and sub-classes, inheritance, dual-driver support, parallel testing, testing multi-branded applications, best practices for using locators, and data encapsulation.

Finally, you will be presented with a sample fully-functional framework to get them up and running with the Selenium WebDriver for browser testing.

By the end of the book, you will be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver. What you will learn • Design the Selenium Driver Class for local, remote, and third party grid support • Build Page Object Classes using the Selenium Page Object Model • Develop Data-Driven Test Classes using the TestNG framework • Encapsulate Data using the JSON Protocol • Build a Selenium Grid for RemoteWebDriver Testing • Construct Utility Classes for use in Synchronization, File I/O, Reporting and Test Listener Classes • Run the sample framework and see the benefits of a live data-driven framework in real-time Who this book is for This book is intended for software quality assurance/testing professionals, software project managers, or software developers with prior experience in using Selenium and Java to test web-based applications.This book is geared towards the quality assurance and development professionals responsible for designing and building enterprise-based testing frameworks.The user should have a working knowledge of the Java, TestNG, and Selenium technologies Carl Cocchiaro has a Bachelors Degree in Business and 30 years experience in the software engineering field, designing and building test frameworks for Desktop, Browser, and Mobile applications. He is an expert in the Selenium WebDriver/TestNG Java-based Technologies, Certified SilkTest Engineer, and has architected UI and RESTful API automation frameworks for 25 major corporations. Carl is currently Software Architect, Quality Engineering at RSA/Dell Technologies, located in Boston, MA USA.
