Automation Trivia

In this blog, we are going to discuss about different test design patterns and which one do we need to adhere while writing the Selenium webdriver test scripts. The most popular design patterns in Selenium are, 1) Singleton Pattern 2) Page object model First we will look into the question - What is Design Pattern?                  Design Pattern is the Programmer follows the good practices while writing program for the application or product to resolve/rectify the commonly occurring issues.

Structural Pattern - Practice of implementing inheritance in between Class, Object and interface to achieve new functionali

                 Most of the people end up saying of integrating the Selenium Test suite with any one of the Continuous Integration server (Jenkins, Bamboo,..etc) to trigger the execution after build deployment. The suite may be Sanity, Smoke or Regression Test suite. But here challenging part is the CI tools mostly run on Linux box and we may not have expected browser installed in it. I have listed some solutions for CI, 1) Change the Selenium test suite browser configuration and execute it using HtmlUnitdriver or PhantomJSDriver ( Headless execution)        The importance of having “headless” tests is:     a) The majority of Linux server and Windows Core Servers deployments doesn’t have GUI at all     b) To avoid opening the browser in the foreground during the build agent is being used for desktop applications testing which require focus  Execute the Automation Test suite using HtmlUnitdriver by making a simple change in the test    script browser configuration and com
