🛠️ Configuration

📱 Device Configuration

Update src/main/resources/TestData/testdata.xlsx with your device settings:

Parameter	Description	Example
platform	Target platform	Android/iOS
deviceNameAndroid	Android device name	Pixel_6_API_33
platformVersionAndroid	Android version	13.0
apkFileName	App binary name	app.apk
appPackage	App package identifier	com.example.app

🧪 Writing Tests

📝 Basic Test Structure

@Test
public void verifyUserRegistration() {
    // 1. Navigate to registration page
    RegistrationPage registrationPage = new RegistrationPage(driver);
    
    // 2. Perform actions
    registrationPage.clickContinueButton();
    
    // 3. Verify results
    Assert.assertTrue(registrationPage.verifyDontHaveAccountTextDisplayed());
}

🎯 Best Practices

• Use Page Objects for all UI interactions
• Implement Explicit Waits for better stability
• Add Meaningful Assertions with descriptive messages
• Handle Exceptions gracefully with proper logging

---

📊 Test Execution Reports

🎨 ExtentReports Dashboard

Our framework generates beautiful, interactive HTML reports that provide:

• 📈 Test Execution Summary with pass/fail statistics
• 📱 Screenshot Gallery for failed test cases
• ⏱️ Performance Metrics with execution timing
• 🔍 Detailed Logs for debugging and analysis

Report Location: target/ExtentReports<ExecutionTime>/ExtentReports.html
