How to create test suite using Junit and eclipse in selenium

There are some scenarios where we need to run multiple test cases. Either we can run those test cases independently or together. But there are some real time cases where we need to run our test cases in a particular order. In this case we would prefer Test Suite to combine the test cases together and decide their orders and run those.


Below are the steps

1. Create a Test Suite class where we create the Test Suites which will call all the test cases in a particular order.

import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;  
import junit.textui.TestRunner;

public class TestSuite1 extends TestCase {

public static Test suite()  
{  
TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();  

suite.addTestSuite( TestCase1.class);  
suite.addTestSuite( TestCase2.class);
suite.addTestSuite( TestCase3.class);  
return suite;  
}  

public static void main(String arg[])
{
TestRunner.run(suite());

}
}


Step 2. Create your first test case

import org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteControlConfiguration;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
public class TestCase1 extends SeleneseTestCase{

Selenium selenium;
public static final String MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS="60000";
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;

public void setUp() throws Exception {

RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
rc.setSingleWindow(true);
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.com/");
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();

}
public void testgoogling() {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.type("q", "Niraj");
selenium.click("btnG");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad(MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS);
assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Niraj"));

}

public void tearDown() throws InterruptedException{
selenium.stop(); 
seleniumServer.stop();
}
}

Step 3. Create your second test case

import org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteControlConfiguration;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
public class TestCase2 extends SeleneseTestCase{
Selenium selenium;
public static final String MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS="60000";
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;
public void setUp() throws Exception {

RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
rc.setSingleWindow(true);
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.com/");
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}

public void testgoogling() {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.type("q", "Niraj Kumar");
selenium.click("btnG");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad(MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS);
assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("Niraj Kumar"));

}

public void tearDown() throws InterruptedException{
selenium.stop(); 
seleniumServer.stop();
}
}


Step 4. Create your third test case

import org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteControlConfiguration;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
public class TestCase3 extends SeleneseTestCase{
Selenium selenium;
public static final String MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS="60000";
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;
public void setUp() throws Exception {

RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
rc.setSingleWindow(true);
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.com/");
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}

public void testgoogling() {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.type("q", "http://www.automationtricks.blogspot.com");
selenium.click("btnG");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad(MAX_WAIT_TIME_IN_MS);
assertTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("http://www.automationtricks.blogspot.com"));

}

public void tearDown() throws InterruptedException{
selenium.stop(); 
seleniumServer.stop(); 
}
}

Step 5. Run your Test Suite
Go to your Test Suite class and right click on that and run as Junit Test.

This will run the TestCase1 then TestCase2 then TestCase3


If you want to execute your test cases in some specific order then you call them in that order like.

suite.addTestSuite( TestCase3.class);  
suite.addTestSuite( TestCase2.class);
suite.addTestSuite( TestCase1.class);  

Above will run the TestCase3 first then TestCase2 then TestCase1.

How to store date in dd-mm-yy format in Selenium

There are some cases while we search the data based on start and end date based on date format dd-mm-yy.

=======

<tr>
<td>store</td>
<td>javascript{var d = new Date();var curr_date = d.getDate()-2;if(curr_date.toString().length!=2) curr_date = '0'+curr_date ;var curr_month = d.getMonth(); curr_month = curr_month + 1;if(curr_month.toString().length!=2) curr_month= '0'+curr_month;curr_date + '-'+ curr_month + '-'+10;}</td>
<td>start_date</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>store</td>
<td>javascript{var d = new Date();var curr_date = d.getDate();if(curr_date.toString().length!=2) curr_date = '0'+curr_date ;var curr_month = d.getMonth(); curr_month = curr_month + 1;if(curr_month.toString().length!=2) curr_month= '0'+curr_month;curr_date + '-'+ curr_month + '-'+10;}</td>
<td>end_date</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>${start_date}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>${end_date}</td>
<td></td>
</tr>


This gives the result in below format
Start date : 17-07-10
End date : 19-07-10

Selenium Regular Expression and pattern matching

Like locators, patterns are a type of parameter frequently required by Selenese commands. Examples
of commands which require patterns are verifyTextPresent, verifyTitle, verifyAlert, assertConfirmation,
verifyText, and verifyPrompt.Patterns allow one to describe, via the use of special characters, what text is expected rather
than having to specify that text exactly

  • Global Patterns

    * which translates to “match anything,” i.e., nothing, a single character, or many characters.
    [ ] (character class) which translates to “match any single character found inside the square
    brackets.” A dash (hyphen) can be used as a shorthand to specify a range of characters
    (which are contiguous in the ASCII character set). A few examples will make the functionality
    of a character class clear:
    [aeiou] matches any lowercase vowel
    [0-9] matches any digit
    [a-zA-Z0-9] matches any alphanumeric character
    In most other contexts, globbing includes a third special character, the ?. However, Selenium globbing
    patterns only support the asterisk and character class.
    To specify a globbing pattern parameter for a Selenese command, one can prefix the pattern with a glob:
    label. However, because globbing patterns are the default, one can also omit the label and specify just
    the pattern itself.
    Below is an example of two commands that use globbing patterns. The actual link text on the page
    being tested was “Film/Television Department”; by using a pattern rather than the exact text, the click
    command will work even if the link text is changed to “Film & Television Department” or “Film and
    Television Department”. The glob pattern’s asterisk will match “anything or nothing” between the word
    “Film” and the word “Television”.
    click link=glob:Film*Television Department
    verifyTitle glob:*Film*Television*
    The actual title of the page reached by clicking on the link was “De Anza Film And Television Department
    - Menu”. By using a pattern rather than the exact text, the verifyTitle will pass as long as
    the two words “Film” and “Television” appear (in that order) anywhere in the page’s title. For example,
    if the page’s owner should shorten the title to just “Film & Television Department,” the test would still
    pass. Using a pattern for both a link and a simple test that the link worked (such as the verifyTitle
    above does) can greatly reduce the maintenance for such test cases.

    Some examples for global pattern

    Lets say your element looks like

    <input class="foo" value="the text value" name="theText">

    verifyEquals("*text*", selenium.getValue("theText"));

    <input type="hidden" value="the hidden value" name="theHidden">

    verifyEquals("* hidden value", selenium.getValue("theHidden"));

    If you have drop down combo box then you can use global pattern matching .

    <select id="theSelect">
    <option id="o1" value="option1">first option</option>
    <option selected="selected" id="o2" value="option2">second option</option>
    <option id="o3" value="option3">third,,option</option>
    </select>

    select the second option and verify like this

    assertEquals("second *", selenium.getSelectedLabel("theSelect"));
    or,
    String[] arr = {"first*", "second*", "third*"};

    verifyEquals(arr, selenium.getSelectOptions("theSelect"));

  • The question mark ? indicates there is zero or one of the preceding element. For example, colo?r matches both "color" and "colour".

    If your element is like
    <input class="foo" value="the text value" name="theText">

    verifyEquals("?oo", selenium.getAttribute("theText@class"));


  • Regular expression
    Regular expression patterns are the most powerful of the three types of patterns that Selenese supports.
    Regular expressions are also supported by most high-level programming languages, many text editors and a host of tools, including the Linux/Unix command-line utilities grep, sed, and awk.

    regexp (wildcard) matching


    <input class="foo" value="the text value" name="theText">

    verifyEquals("regexp:^[a-z ]+$", selenium.getValue("theText"));

    <input type="hidden" value="the hidden value" name="theHidden">

    verifyEquals("regexp:dd", selenium.getValue("theHidden"));


    <select id="theSelect">
    <option id="o1" value="option1">first option</option>
    <option selected="selected" id="o2" value="option2">second option</option>
    <option id="o3" value="option3">third,,option</option>
    </select>

    assertEquals("regexp:second .*", selenium.getSelectedLabel("theSelect"));

  • verify Attributes using regular expression

    <input class="foo" value="the text value" name="theText">

    verifyEquals("regexp:^f", selenium.getAttribute("theText@class"));

    verifyEquals("regex:^[a-z ]+$", selenium.getValue("theText"));

    <select id="theSelect">
    <option id="o1" value="option1">first option</option>
    <option selected="selected" id="o2" value="option2">second option</option>
    <option id="o3" value="option3">third,,option</option>
    </select>

    assertEquals("exact:second option", selenium.getSelectedLabel("theSelect"));

    String[] arr = {"regexp:^first.*?", "second option", "third*"};
    verifyEquals(arr, selenium.getSelectOptions("theSelect"));
  • How to test element is editable in selenium

    We can verify weather an element is editable or not using isEditable selenium command.

    If your element is in below format
    
    <input value="black" name="plain_text">
    
    
    then we can use selenium isEditable to find this element is editable or not
    
    assertTrue(selenium.isEditable("plain_text"));
    
    <select name="plain_select"><option>Niraj</option></select>
    
    assertTrue(selenium.isEditable("plain_select"));
    
    <input disabled="yup" value="black" name="disabled_text">
    
    assertTrue(!selenium.isEditable("disabled_text"));
    
    <select disabled="yup" name="disabled_select"><option>Niraj</option></select>
    
    assertTrue(!selenium.isEditable("disabled_select"));
    
    

    How to test based on attributes of element using CSS

    We can test based on attributes of elements by using css. We can use regular expression in css attributes to identify the element.
    If your element is in this css format.
    
    <div id="css3test"><a name="foobar">foobar</a><a name="barfoo">barfoo</a><a id="foobar" name="foozoobar">foozoobar</a></div>
    
    
  • How to store the text of and element which css attributes start with some specific letters.

    Ex. in above element how to store the text whose element name start with "foo"
    Selenium IDE
    
    
    <tr>
    <td>storeText</td>
    <td>css=a[name^="foo"]</td>
    <td>str</td>
    </tr>
    
    
    Selenium RC
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a[name^=\"foo\"]");
    
    
    This will store the "foobar" in str variable because element <a name="foobar">foobar</a> name start with "foo"

  • How to store the text of and element which css attributes ends with some specific letters.

    Ex. in above element how to store the text whose element name ends with "foo"

    Selenium IDE
    
    <tr>
    <td>storeText</td>
    <td>css=a[name$="foo"]</td>
    <td>str</td>
    </tr>
    
    
    Selenium RC
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a[name$=\"foo\"]");
    
    
    This will store the "barfoo" in str variable because element <a name="barfoo">barfoo</a> name ends with "foo"

  • How to store the text of and element which css attributes starts with any letters and ends with any letters but containing some specific letters in middle.

    Ex. in above element how to store the text whose element name ends with any letter and ends with any letter but containing some specific letters "zoo"

    Selenium IDE
    
    <tr>
    <td>storeText</td>
    <td>css=a[name*="zoo"]</td>
    <td>str</td>
    </tr>
    
    

    Selenium RC
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a[name*=\"zoo\"]");
    
    
    This will store the "foozoobar" in str variable because element <a name="foozoobar">foozoobar</a> name contains "zoo" in the middle.

    There is another method to store
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a:contains(\"zoo\")");
    
    

  • How to identify element using more than one css attributes.

    Lets say your element is in this format.
    
    <a alt="foo" class="a2" href="#id2" name="name1" id="id2">this is the <b>second</b> <span selenium:foo="bar">element</span></a>
    
    
    then if you want to store "this is the second element" in a variable called str the

    Selenium IDE
    
    <tr>
    <td>storeText</td>
    <td>css=a[name*="name"][alt="foo"]</td>
    <td>str</td>
    </tr>
    
    
    Selenium RC
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a[name*=\"name\"][alt=\"foo\"]");
    
    
    If you want to store only "element" from above element then use below code
    Selenium IDE
    
    <tr>
    <td>storeText</td>
    <td>css=a[name*="name"][alt="foo"]>span</td>
    <td>str</td>
    </tr>
    
    
    Selenium RC
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=a[name*=\"name\"][alt=\"foo\"]>span");
    
    
  • How to test Pseudo-classes : Pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes

    Lets say your element looks like
    
    <div id="structuralPseudo">
    <span>span1</span>
    <span>span2</span>
    <span>span3</span>
    <span>span4</span>
    <div>div1</div>
    <div>div2</div>
    <div>div3</div>
    <div>div4</div>
    </div>
    
    
    to identify the element within the element we will use
    
    css=div#structuralPseudo :nth-child(n)
    
    

    1. To identify first element in pseudo element id="structuralPseudo and store its text.
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :nth-child(n)");
    
    
    this will store "span1" in str variable.

    2. To identify second element in pseudo element id="structuralPseudo and store its text.
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :nth-child(2n)");
    
    
    this will store "span2" in str variable.

    3. To identify third element in pseudo element id="structuralPseudo and store its text.
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :nth-child(3n)");
    
    
    this will store "span3" in str variable.
    ...
    ...
    ...

    8.. To identify the last element in pseudo element id="structuralPseudo and store its text.
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :nth-child(3n)");
    
    
    this will store "div4" in str variable.


    9. But you can access first and last child directly

    to access first element
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :first-child");
    
    
    this will store "span1" in str variable
    To access last element
    
    String str = selenium.getText("css=div#structuralPseudo :last-child");
    
    
    this will store "div4" in str variable
