selenium-demo

A simple automation framework based on selenium (Works with firefox and Chrome at the moment)

Docker execution environment

A Dockerfile is provided in this repo , Which installs the necessary softwares and run the automation . The steps are as follows

1. Download the docker folder and navigate to it
2. Build the image using the command docker build -t execution_env:latest .
3. Run the image using the command docker run execution_env:latest. This will fetch the latest code from git and run the automation , All the results will be shown in the console at this moment .

Test flow automated

1. Navigate to the home page and search for a given product (for example Calvin Klein)
2. In the auto suggest values , select a given product and navigate to the product page
3. Select a give SKU of the product and click add to cart
4. Verify if the SKU selected is present in the cart and the cart quantity is incremented by 1
5. Clear the cart and navigate to the home page and repeat the test for different data

The test case is data driven

Issues noted

1. Around 30% of the time the product auto suggest values are not displayed when a text is entered in the search box(possibly the operation is timed out) , The results in the test suite failing .
2. Sometimes the site tends to be slow , Especially observed in docker container (The automation can handle it , but execution time will increase)

Prerequisites for running the project outside docker container

This project needs maven to be installed and needs selenium server to be running in standalone or grid mode

Invocation

The tests can be directly invoked from commandline by calling mvn clean test (Assuming that the selenium server is running in localhost:4444)

Parameters

The project accepts three commandline parameters

1. browser - The browser to run the automation framework. The allowed options are chrome and firefox and if no parameter is give the default is taken as chrome
2. env - The environment to run the code on (currently the only one available and default environment option is prod , This can be ignored)
3. server - The selenium server url . The default server is http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

For example the command mvn clean test -Dbrowser=firefox would run the suite in firefox browser
