Test Automation Framework for Web Application using Java
I am beginning to write a Test Automation Framework in Java (language that I am comfortable with) for my Web Application. Currently, it is entirely tested on UI. No Backend / API testing in near sight.
I plan to use Selenium Web Driver. This framework will support both Functional/Integration and Performance testing.
I am building with Open Source Solutions for the first time (over using tools like LoadRunner) and my needs are this framework will work with Continuous Integration tools like Jenkins/Hudson and an in-house Test Management tool for reporting results.
I searched for this specific scenario but could not find one. I know there will be numerous integrations, plug-ins, etc... that needs to be built. My question is can you provide some pointers (even good reads is OK) towards beginning to build this framework with Open source solutions ?
Answer
- Selenium will allow you to automate all your web (browsers) actions automations.
- Junit/TestNG as the testing framework, including their default reports system
- Maven for the project management and lifecycle (including test phase with surefire plugin)
- Jenkins is a good integration tool that will easily run the setup above
Good luck!
