Selenium-Grid---TestNG-Project

Setup a Selenium Grid with nodes and a hub. Then create tests to run in parallel on nodes with webdriver.

These files can be used for QA testing of web applications. This is a skeleton setup, and only includes simple tests to confirm the setup.

Requirements

• Java JDK / JRE (available on PATH)
• Eclipse IDE with TestNG plugin installed
• Firefox with Selenium IDE plugin
• Selenium java client library (available for use by Java)
• A copy of the latest Selenium standalone JAR. 2.41.0 at the time of writing.
• Selenium standalone server running in node mode, with appropriate webdrivers for Chrome / IE. This can be on a different machine. An example command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role node -hub  http://<HUB IP>:4444/grid/register -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=IEDriverServer.exe

• Selenium standalone server running in hub mode, available at http://localhost:4444/grid/console. Eg:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role hub

• The node should be visible in the hub interface, with various browser icons corresponding to the number of browser instances that can be launched on that node.

Basic Usage

• Open Eclipse
• Create a Eclipse java project
• Make sure the TestNG plugin is available and the Selenium library is available in your system library
• Create a new java package
• Create classes within the package. You can start with the two tests included here as a model
• In the root folder of the project, create the two files "TestFiles.xml" and testng.xml
• Make sure the correct test is referenced in TestFiles.xml
• Run testng as TestNG (Right click, run as...)
• Check the test output for warnings / success reports

Creating Custom Tests

• Start Firefox Selenium IDE
• Record a test of your choosing
• Export the test as JUnit4 / .java
• Paste in the instructions from your exported .java files (Not the whole file - just the individual steps)
• Replace driver. with getDriver().
