    Browser Automation With Selenium Webdriver and Page Objects: Presented at Squad Colorado Meetup at Denver, Feb 09, 2016

    Uploaded by

    Sirisha Chigurupati
    The document discusses browser automation testing using Selenium WebDriver and the page object model design pattern. It outlines problems with traditional manual and automated testing approaches. It then introduces Selenium WebDriver as a framework for browser automation and explains how the page object model can help address issues like hard-coded tests and separation of test logic from page interaction code. Key aspects of implementing the page object pattern like page factories and exported page actions are demonstrated. The presentation concludes by discussing how the page object structure can enable automated generation of test code from a application model.

    Automation Testing Problems

    • Automation Tests are hard to write – large initial investment


    • Automation Tests are broken most of the time – large upkeep costs
    • Changes to UI break tests – not sure if tests are broken or UI is broken
    • Unsatisfactory Automation Quality – poorly written tests
    • Scripts take too long to run
    • Scripts can’t run unattended
    • Reports are difficult to analyze
    • Tests have no documentation
    Manual Test Example – CRM Application
    Manual Test Example – CRM Application
    Requirements Tests
    • Add a New Lead • Add a New Lead
    • Import Leads • Create a Valid Lead

    • View Leads • Create an Invalid Lead

    • View Lead Details • Create a Duplicate Lead

    • Contact A Lead • Import Leads

    • Contact Multiple Leads


    • Valid Import
    • Import with Duplicates
    • Update a Lead
    • Import with esoteric fields
    • Delete a Lead
    • Support for different files like .csv, .xls, .xlsx etc.
    • …
    Manual Test Example – CRM Application
    • Testing once – fine
    • Efficient – no upfront investment
    • Allows for exploratory testing
    • Allows to look at general performance issues
    • Testing multiple times – ???
    • Testing at every major release? 4hrs * 8 Modules = 4days

    • Testing at every minor release?


    • Testing at every bug-fix?
    • Testing at every pre-flight? AUTOMATION
    Selenium WebDriver Automation
    • What does Selenium WebDriver Provide?
    • Framework for Browser Automation
    • Standards Compliant, Open Source, Free-to-use
    • All Major Browsers Support
    • All Major Operating Systems Support
    • All Major Languages Support
    • Remote Invocation Support
    • Mobile Platforms Support
    • Cross-browser compatible scripts
    • Object oriented
    Selenium WebDriver: How does it work

    • Lead Creation
    • Get a handle to the browser/window/tab
    • Load the webpage
    • Click on Leads Link
    • Click on Create Leads
    • Fill in the information (Text Boxes,
    Dropdowns, Check-Boxes etc.)
    • Hit Save Button
    Selenium WebDriver: How does it work
    So What’s Wrong with this example
    • Procedural/Repetitive
    • Hard-Coded, no data providers
    • Prone to break:
    • New fields are added
    • Xpath Changes
    • Field Name/Property name
    changes
    • CSS properties change
    • Not re-entrant
    • Most times we are fixing tests
    to keep up with code…

    Need for Abstraction on Top of WebDriver


    Need For Abstraction – Page Objects
    Need For Abstraction – Page Objects
    • Pages are people too, my
    friend!
    • Every page has feelings and
    emotions attributes and
    actions associated with it
    • How these are implemented is
    abstracted
    • What’s exported are the
    actions this webpage can
    perform

    PAGE OBJECT MODEL


    Need For Abstraction – Page Objects

    Test • Test/
    Business
    Code Logic • Separate Business Logic from
    Browser Handling
    Page • Driver/ • Each Page has an Object
    Config/
    Objects UI Logic • Exported methods: Page’s
    Functionality
    • Abstracted methods: Browser,
    UI, WebElement handling
    Browser • Browser
    Page Objects - Example
    Page Objects – Few Things to Note
    • Notes:
    • Annotations: Object is assumed to be
    initialized through PageFactory.
    • @FindBy can support: id, name, tagName,

    Attributes
    linkText, partialLinkText, css, xpath
    • @CacheLookup annotation: Object is
    assumed to never change in the DOM.
    • All buttons/actions are usually translated into
    functions.
    • Functions use data providers to provide
    configurable, re-entrant data.

    Actions
    Page Object Paradigm

    • Expose the service you’re interacting with, not the implementation.

    • If you’re using WebDriver API in your test methods… You are doing it wrong.

    Return value for exported services
    Service Methods Returning void
    public class LoginPage { public class AccountsPage {
    public void login(){ public void viewAccountDetails(){
    //Selenium Code //Selenium Code
    } }
    } }

    Service Methods Returning correct Object

    public class LoginPage { public class AccountsPage {


    public AccountsPage login(){ public
    //Selenium Code AccountsDetailsPage viewAccountDetails(){
    } //Selenium Code
    } }
    }
    Return Value - continued
    Accounts Page

    public class LoginPage {


    public AccountsPage login(){
    //Selenium Code
    }
    }

    Login Page

    • Return a generic Page Interface Object Instead


    Timeouts

    void testApplication() { void testApplication() {


    loginPage = new LoginPage(); loginPage = new LoginPage();
    accountsPage = loginPage.login(); accountsPage = loginPage.login();

    Thread.sleep(3000); accountsPage.waitForPage();

    accountsPage.viewAccounts(); accountsPage.viewAccounts();
    } }
    Page Factory public class LoginPage {
    private WebElement email;
    private WebElement password;

    //Constructor
    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver){
    driver.findById(“email”);
    driver.findById(“password”);
    }
    }

    public class LoginPage {


    @FindBy(id = “email”)
    private WebElement email;

    @FindBy(id = “password”)
    private WebElement password;

    //Constructor
    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver){
    PageFactory.initElement(driver, this);
    }
    }
    Where do we stand?

    Web App
    Auto Generation of Page Object Code
    • An advantage of putting structure to the
    process gives us a model for auto-generating
    object test code
    • AutoTestR uses node.js framework to parse
    the DOM for the page and generate
    corresponding test object code.
    One step further…
    - Each node represents a page-object
    (or rather business object)
    - Each node specifies what are its
    exported interfaces, what are its next
    states
    - Based on this graph, AutoTestR
    auto-generates test case skeletons
    as well!

    - Example Test Cases:


    - Login->Unregistered Page
    - Login->Main Page->CreateUser->End
    - Login->Main Page->SearchUser->End
    - Login->Main Page->DeleteUser->End
    - Login->Main Page->Unregistered Page
    Auto Generated Test Cases: AutoTestR Demo
    CI with AutoTestR
    AutoTestR – Roadmap and Upcoming Features

    • Open-source and release a community version by end of the year.


    • More graph based intelligent testing, configurable edge weights.
    • Integrating with Cloud Based Testing Infrastructure
    • Separate Test Assertions from Auto-Generated Code
    • Support for business logic testing
    • Auto generate TestNG files for regression and performance testing
    • Database based test key-value generation
    Summary

    • Separate Business Logic from Implementation Logic


    • Return the Page Object (generic Page superclass) from exported services
    • Page Load Wait time is a property of the page – keep it in the page object!
    • Keep common utilities in the base class
    • Use Data Providers
    • Keep Exported methods Re-entrant
    • AutoTestR – To Auto Generate Page Objects and Test Cases
