Start Automation Test with Cucumber in Septeni

1. Setup environment

• Java & create enviroment variable for Java

• Maven & create environment variable for maven

• Eclipse & input cucumber plugin to eclipse

2. Create project

• Open cmd
• Move to folder contain project & run bellow command to create project (pattern)
  mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=serenity-cucumber
  Input: group_id; artifact (project name)
• Move to project folder & run command
  mvn eclipse:eclipse
• Import project that you created on eclipse
  Edit POM.xml file on eclipse (cucumber version, serenity version)
• Run test case:
  mvn test verify or mvn clean test verify
  → Path to test report: target > site > serenity > “.index” file

3. Project structure

3 parts

• src/test/java => contain class [~TestSuite.java] & [~ScenarioSteps.java]
• src/test/resource => package [features.~] → file BDD [~.feature]
• src/man/java => package [~.pages] → class [~Page.java]
  & package [~.steps] → class [~Steps.java]

Steps to write code for Automation test

• Step1. Write BDD → run cucumber → copy steps missing to [~ScenarioSteps.java]
• Step2. Write code for [~ScenarioSteps.java]
  – Using ctrl + shift + o → add library
  – declaration objects & variables
  Ex: @Steps
  UserSteps userSteps
  – Write actions in steps
  Ex: userSteps.open_home_page()
• Step3. Write code for [~Steps.java]
  – Using library of Serenity → extends ScenarioSteps { }
  – declaration objects & variables
  Ex: UserPage userPage
  – Write actions in method
  Ex: @Step print this method when run cucumber
  public void open_home_page() {
  UserPage.open()
  }
• Step4. Write code for [~Page.java]
  – Using library of Serenity → extends PageObject { }
  – declaration objects & variables
  Ex: @FindBy([locator of element])
  Private WebElementFacade [name of element]
  – Write actions in method
  Ex: public void enter_email (String email) {
  element(inputEmail).sendKey(email)
  };

*** [~Page.java] is used to define elements on ~ page & actions on each this element
[~Steps.java] is used to define a business logic, it is a combination of actions on pages.

4. Some commands

Ctrl + shift + f: align format
Ctrl + shift + o: get library
Ctrl + shift + s: save
Ctrl + space : display support

5. Share some experiences

• Hard in get locator of elements→ Using some tools support get locator as Selenium, some Plugin, … And it is more easy if you know about HTML
• Sometime you can not run cucumber normally → run again command mvn eclipse:eclipse or/and restart eclipse
• If run cucumber you meet “timeout error” → maybe locator of elements were changed.
• If you want change name of file/element, exist many places → right click & choose Refactor > Rename
• If element contains “name” or “id” → you no need declaration in @FindBy that you can using name/id directly
• Default execute test of cucumber is firefox, if you want to run on other browsers → Need download it’s driver & run test on cmd using mvn command to cursor to that driver.
