1 Automation Using Selenium or Web Driver and Unit Testing October 20, 2012, Bangalore Author Ankita Patro

2 Introduction Company Brief Capgemini has been working in the Automation Testing for over 6 years (~ hours) More than 100 projects are successfully using and implementing automation testing in different platforms. Believe in Build in repository which can be used across different project Due to very strong java resource availability, designed framework is robust and dynamic. Business Need At present scenario automation testing is important because of hectic regression and better stability while testing. It is observed that Project under Web driver automation are very stable and value for money. If properly implemented then it can reduce the manual effort more significantly in terms of regression With the help of Junit tester need not to wait for UI to be developed. Testing can be right away started when development is under progress and early testing avoids a lot of confusion and bugs also. 2

7 Junit An automated unit test suite brings along a number of important, tangible advantages as compared to other testing strategies. JUnit is a test framework. It provides a set of classes and tools that can be used to create and run tests for Java applications. The core of the JUnit framework is the TestCase class, which provides basic functionality to create and run tests. The normal usage scenario is to create a sub-class of TestCase, and then add methods to it that test something. In order to run the tests, the new TestCase is added to a TestSuite, and the method TestSuite.run is called. The TestSuite then uses reflection to run the test methods of the TestCase. Any method in the TestCase that begins with test is treated as a test case and executed. So you use Java code to test Java code. 7

9 Why Junit Unit tests find problems early in the development cycle An automated unit test suite watches over the code in two dimensions: time and space. Developers will be less afraid to change existing code The development process becomes more flexible Reduces the need for manual testing 9

10 Who should handle Automation Now question arises who should handle all these kind of automation testing. The broad scope of programming language in both type of automation testing leads to a confusion that whether code should be written by a developer or a tester. But for the end user and stake holder point of view answer is very simple. Whoever writes the code doesn t matter. The aim is to get the ultimate and optimized code which will be robust and ready to use and will give effective result for testing. The bugs should be verified and rectified and can be caught by using automation script. 10

11 Conclusion The path to automation is never ending road. As selenium is very new to the market it will be tough for a QA to use it. It requires a mix aim of a developer and tester. While developing the framework for automation QA should act as a developer and while testing he should have a killer instinct. The path is never simple when a new tool is implemented in a new way. It is always difficult but it will end up in a fruit full way for both the project and product. 11
