Framework Features:

1. Supports Parallel testing on Selenium Grid and on local execution
2. Supports SauceLabs, Browser Stack, Testing Bot To run the tests on SauceLabs, simply set the saucelabs/browser stack url to the "test.grid.url" property in "src/main/resources/application.properties" file
   • SauceLabs: test.grid.url = http://username:access-key@ondemand.saucelabs.com/wd/hub
   • Browser Stack: test.grid.url = http://username:access-key@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub
   • Testing Bot: test.grid.url = http://username:access-key@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub
   • Selenium Grid: test.grid.url = http://selenium-grid-server:4444/wd/hub
3. Supports reporting with the help of serenityrunner plugin
4. Can write less and do more
5. Can integrate any CI tools (Jenkins, Bamboo, Teamcity, Travis, etc.,)

Requirements:

1. Maven version 3
2. Java version 8
3. Cucumber Java plugin for the IntelliJ IDEA

How to write a test:

1. To create a new test/scenario, simply add a new feature if the scenario belongs to new feature or add the scenario in the existing feature files if the scenario belongs to the existing feature.
2. Scenario/Feature must be written under src/test/resource
3. Add the step definitions for the corresponding scenarios in src/test/java
4. Add pages, step class in src/main/java/pages and src/main/java/steps respectively
5. It is not mandatory to write the step classes under src/main/java/steps and use them in the step definition classes. Instead can directly use the page classes/page objects in the step definition classes Example:

path: src/test/resources/features

  @test
  Scenario: Validate the search results are displayed
    Given I launch the amazon application
    Then I search the "laptop" in the search box
    And I click the first search result
    Then I display the price of the first laptop

path: src/test/java/com/app/tests

 public class SearchResultsStepDef {
 
     @Inject
     SearchSteps searchSteps;
 
     @Inject
     ApplicationSteps appSteps;
 
     @Given("^I launch the amazon application$")
     public void iLaunchTheAmazonApplication() throws Throwable {
         appSteps.goToHomePage();
     }
 
     @Then("^I search the \"([^\"]*)\" in the search box$")
     public void iSearchTheInTheSearchBox(String searchTerm) throws Throwable {
         searchSteps.searchAnItem(searchTerm);
     }
 
     @And("^I click the first search result$")
     public void iClickTheFirstSearchResult() throws Throwable {
         searchSteps.clickSearchItemByIndex(0);
     }
 
     @Then("^I display the price of the first laptop$")
     public void iDisplayThePriceOfTheFirstLaptop() throws Throwable {
 
     }
 }  

Instructions: Run the tests from the command line

1. Run the following command to execute the tests _mvn clean verify_
2. To apply the desired capabilities to the remote webdriver, prefix the desired capabilities key with "driver.remote.capability" in the properties Example: driver.remote.capability.browserName=chrome driver.remote.capability.javascriptEnabled=true
3. Write Scenarios in src/test/resources/features folder
4. Write Step definitions in src/test/java folder
5. Reports are generated in target/cucumber-html-reports folder

Run the tests from the Intellij IDEA

1. To run the tests from the Intellij IDEA, click on "Run" and then "Edit Configurations"
2. Select "Cucumber Java" in the default section of the left side page
3. Set -Dguice.injector-source=com.app.configuration.GuiceModule in the VM options and save the configurations
4. Choose any scenario you want to run and click the "Run " in the context menu
