In this section, we will explore how to set up TestNG with Selenium to create a robust testing framework. TestNG is a powerful testing framework inspired by JUnit and NUnit, designed to simplify a broad range of testing needs, from unit testing to integration testing.

Key Concepts

TestNG Overview:
- TestNG is a testing framework that provides annotations, grouping, sequencing, and parameterization of tests.
- It supports data-driven testing and parallel execution, making it ideal for Selenium test automation.
Benefits of Using TestNG with Selenium:
- Annotations: Simplifies the configuration of test methods.
- Test Configuration: Allows setting up preconditions and postconditions.
- Test Suite Management: Facilitates the organization and execution of test suites.
- Reporting: Generates detailed HTML reports.

Prerequisites

Before setting up TestNG, ensure you have the following:

Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA.
Selenium WebDriver set up in your project.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Install TestNG in Eclipse

Open Eclipse and go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace.
In the search bar, type "TestNG" and press Enter.
Click Go and then Install next to TestNG for Eclipse.
Follow the installation prompts and restart Eclipse when prompted.

Step 2: Add TestNG to Your Project

Create a New Java Project in Eclipse.
Right-click on the project and select Build Path > Configure Build Path.
Go to the Libraries tab and click Add Library.
Select TestNG and click Next, then Finish.

Step 3: Configure TestNG with Selenium

Create a New Package in your project (e.g., com.example.tests).
Create a New Class in the package (e.g., SampleTest).

package com.example.tests;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SampleTest {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testGoogleSearch() {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Explanation of the Code

Annotations:
- @BeforeClass: Method annotated with this will run before the first test method in the current class.
- @Test: Marks a method as a test case.
- @AfterClass: Method annotated with this will run after all the test methods in the current class have been run.
WebDriver Setup:
- Initializes the ChromeDriver and opens the browser.
- Navigates to Google and prints the page title.

Step 4: Run Your TestNG Test

Right-click on the SampleTest class.
Select Run As > TestNG Test.

Practical Exercise

Exercise: Create a TestNG test that navigates to a website of your choice, verifies the page title, and prints it to the console.

Solution:

package com.example.tests;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.Assert;

public class CustomTest {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testPageTitle() {
        driver.get("https://www.example.com");
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        System.out.println("Page title is: " + title);
        Assert.assertEquals(title, "Expected Title");
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Common Mistakes and Tips

Incorrect WebDriver Path: Ensure the path to the WebDriver executable is correct.
Browser Compatibility: Make sure the WebDriver version matches the browser version.
Assertions: Use assertions to validate test outcomes.

Conclusion

In this section, you learned how to set up TestNG with Selenium, create a basic test case, and execute it. This setup forms the foundation for building more complex test suites and leveraging TestNG's powerful features for test automation. In the next module, we will explore creating TestNG test cases in more detail.
