Hybrid Test Automation Framework

This is a Hybrid Test Automation Framework built using various tools and technologies, aimed at automating both UI and API tests. The framework integrates multiple services and utilities to provide a comprehensive solution for end-to-end testing.

Architecture Overview

The framework is structured in different layers to ensure modularity, scalability, and maintainability. Below is a breakdown of each layer and its components:

1. Test Execution Layer

• TestNG: Manages and executes the tests, including both UI and API tests.
• Selenium WebDriver: Automates the browser and triggers UI tests.
• REST Assured: Automates API testing.

2. Supporting Services Layer

• Log4j2: Provides logging functionality for better traceability and debugging.
• ExtentReports: Generates detailed HTML reports of the test execution results.
• Apache Commons IO: Helps in handling files, including screenshots, during the test execution.

3. CI/CD Integration Layer

• Jenkins: Triggers and manages test execution, enabling continuous integration and delivery.

4. Utilities Layer

• Data Provider Utility: Handles test data, including data reading from files or databases for test execution.

5. Configuration Layer

• Configuration Reader: Reads configuration files for customizable test settings, such as environment-specific configurations, URLs, etc.

6. WebDriver Factory Layer

• WebDriver Factory: Creates WebDriver instances, ensuring consistent browser instances across tests.

7. Page Object Layer

• Login Page: Handles actions and elements related to the login page.
• Products Page: Handles actions and elements related to the products page.
• Cart Page: Handles actions and elements related to the shopping cart page.

Framework Flow

The framework follows a well-defined flow to trigger tests and generate results:

1. Test Execution:

   • TestNG triggers both Selenium WebDriver for UI tests and REST Assured for API tests.
   • TestNG manages test execution and integrates with Log4j2 for logging and ExtentReports for generating detailed reports.
   • TestNG also interacts with Apache Commons IO for handling files like screenshots and test data.

2. UI Test Execution:

   • Selenium WebDriver interacts with various Page Objects (Login, Products, Cart) to automate browser actions.
   • The WebDriver Factory ensures proper browser instances are created for each test.

3. API Test Execution:

   • REST Assured handles all API test interactions.

4. Configuration:

   • TestNG reads configurations from the Configuration Reader to set up environment-specific values and settings.

5. CI/CD:

   • Jenkins triggers the test execution and continuously integrates the results into the CI pipeline.

Getting Started

To use the framework, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

1. Java (version 8 or higher)
2. Maven (for dependency management)
3. TestNG (for running tests)
4. Selenium WebDriver (for browser automation)
5. REST Assured (for API automation)
6. Jenkins (for continuous integration)

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/rakesh-vardan/Learn_TestAutomationFramework.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Learn_TestAutomationFramework

3. Install the required dependencies using Maven:

   mvn clean install

Running the Tests

To run the tests use the respective TestNG.xml file, execute the following Maven command:

mvn clean test -DsuiteXMLFile=testng.xml
