Run selenium test using testng & maven in eclipse

In this post, we will see how to create a maven project in eclipse and run selenium java tests using testNG.

Why to use Maven

Maven helps to easily update libraries (jar files) required to run selenium tests and also easy to maintain the jar files.

Note : If you want to manually add the jar files to your project, then follow here

Prerequisites

Eclipse – https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

Chose the eclipse for java developers version which comes with inbuilt maven and testNG, if not then you can install maven and testng from eclipse marketplace (Help > marketplace)

pom.xml

Get the pom.xml from here [Updated with latest version]

You can find the all version of libraries from here

testng.xml

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="SampleSuite">

    <test name="SampleTest">
        <classes>
           <class name="com.practice.SeleniumTest.SampleSelTest" />
        </classes>
    </test>
    
</suite>

Maven project

Create a maven project in eclipse, follow here for more details

SampleSelTest.java

package com.practice.SeleniumTest;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SampleSelTest {
	WebDriver driver;
	
	@Test
	public void TestMethod() {
		 //Launch firefox browser 
		System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/Users/sunilkumarpatro/sel/geckodriver");
		driver = new FirefoxDriver();  
	    
	    //maximize the browser
	    driver.manage().window().maximize();
	    
	    //Implicit wait, wait for at least some time (10 sec) to identify an element, //if can't find the element with in 10 
	    
	    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); 
	 
	    //open the url or AUT 
	    driver.get("http://newtours.demoaut.com/");
	 
	    //Click on the register link: 
	    WebElement lnk_register = driver.findElement(By.linkText("REGISTER")); 
	    lnk_register.click();
	 
	    //Enter details on the provided text boxes by using sendkeys method. 
	    WebElement txtBox_firstname = driver.findElement(By.name("firstName")); 
	    txtBox_firstname.sendKeys("John"); 
	    
	    //or directly we can identify element and act on that in one line 
	    driver.findElement(By.name("lastName")).sendKeys("Clark"); 
	    driver.findElement(By.name("phone")).sendKeys("2342342341"); 
	    driver.findElement(By.name("userName")).sendKeys("sunilpatro1985@gmail.com"); 
	}
}

Run the testng.xml file to execute selenium java script.
