Selenium 2.0 WebDriver – A Test Automation example


http://selftechy.com/2011/07/24/selenium-2-0-webdriver-a-test-automation-example

Getting started with webdriver requires some idea on “how to use the APIs” provided by the Selenium 2 Webdriver. Some of the useful APIs were discussed in detail in “Useful
APIs of WebDriver”. Example of automating a web page with these APIs explains the Test Automation with WebDriver better.

I have created a sample web page which has different objects such as edit box, labels, links, buttons, radio button, checkbox, javascript popup, etc. Please download the same from the below link:

Unzip the file into local drive (C:\, D:\,etc)

Sample WebSite is used in the below example:

import java.util.List;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.Alert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class CreateAccount {
public static WebDriver driver;
public Alert alert;

@BeforeClass
public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("file:///C:/Sample%20Website/CreateAccount.htm");
}

@Test
public void testCreateAccount() throws InterruptedException{
navigatetoWebpage(driver,"file:///C:/Sample%20Website/CreateAccount.htm");
typeinEditbox(driver,"name","FirstName","Karthik");
typeinEditbox(driver,"name","Lname","Shetty");
typeinEditbox(driver,"xpath","//textarea[@name='street']","No. 425, 3rd Main, 7th Cross, 1st Sector, HSR Layout");
selectValue(driver,"Chennai");
selectValue(driver,"Tamilnadu");
selectValue(driver,"Germany");
selectRadiobutton(driver,"name","male");
selectCheckbox(driver,"name","kannada","ON");
selectCheckbox(driver,"name","english","ON");
selectCheckbox(driver,"name","hindi","ON");
clickButton(driver,"name","Save");
closeJscriptPopup(driver,alert);
Thread.sleep(50);
clickLink(driver,"xpath","//a[@href='CustomerInfo.htm']");
Thread.sleep(50);
clickLink(driver,"xpath","//a[@href='CreateAccount.htm']");
}

public static void closeJscriptPopup(WebDriver driver, Alert alert){
alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
}

public static void navigatetoWebpage(WebDriver driver, String url){
driver.get(url);
}
public static void clickButton(WebDriver driver, String identifyBy, String locator){
if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")){
driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("id")){
driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).click();
}

}

public static void clickLink(WebDriver driver, String identifyBy, String locator){
if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")){
driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("id")){
driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
driver.findElement(By.linkText(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText(locator)).click();
}
}

public static void typeinEditbox(WebDriver driver, String identifyBy, String locator, String valuetoType){
if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")){
driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).sendKeys(valuetoType);
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("id")){
driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).sendKeys(valuetoType);
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).sendKeys(valuetoType);
}

}

public static void selectRadiobutton(WebDriver driver, String identifyBy, String locator){
if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")){
driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).click();
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("id")){
driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).click();

driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).click();
}

}

public static void selectCheckbox(WebDriver driver, String identifyBy, String locator, String checkFlag){
if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("xpath")){
if ((checkFlag).equalsIgnoreCase("ON")){
if (!(driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).isSelected())){
driver.findElement(By.xpath(locator)).click();
}
}
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("id")){
if ((checkFlag).equalsIgnoreCase("ON")){
if (!(driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).isSelected())){
driver.findElement(By.id(locator)).click();
}
}
}else if (identifyBy.equalsIgnoreCase("name")){
if ((checkFlag).equalsIgnoreCase("ON")){
if (!(driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).isSelected())){
driver.findElement(By.name(locator)).click();
}
}
}
}

public static void selectValue(WebDriver driver, String valToBeSelected){
List <WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.tagName("option"));
for (WebElement option : options) {
if (valToBeSelected.equalsIgnoreCase(option.getText())){
option.click();
}
}
}
@AfterClass
public static void tearDownAfterClass() throws Exception {
System.out.println("Execution completed.....");
//driver.quit(); //if you want to stop the webdriver after execution, then remove the comment
}

}

Above example showcases all the basic operations of Test Automation through Selenium 2 WebDriver. Try to replicate the code and execute.

This should fill up the form, clicks save & closes the popup, and then navigates to the other page and comes back by clicking the links on the page.
