Overview of this book

This book is an incremental guide that will help you learn and use the advanced features of the Selenium toolset including the WebDriver API in various situations to build a reliable test automation. You start off by setting up the test development environment and gain tips on the advanced locater strategy and the effective use of the Selenium WebDriver API. After that, the use of design patterns such as data - driven tests and PageFactory are demonstrated. You will then be familiarised with extending Selenium WebDriver API by implementing custom tasks and setting up your own distributed environment to run tests in parallel for cross-browser testing. Finally, we give you some tips on integrating Selenium WebDriver with other popular tools and testing mobile applications. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to solve complex testing issues on your own.

Creating a data-driven test using JUnit


JUnit is a popular testing framework used to create Selenium WebDriver tests in Java. We can create data-driven Selenium WebDriver tests using the JUnit 4 parameterization feature. This can be done by using the JUnit parameterized class runner.

In this recipe, we will create a simple JUnit test case to test our BMI calculator application. We will specify the test data within our JUnit test case class. We will use various JUnit annotations to create a data-driven test.

Getting ready

The following are the things we need to do:

  • Set up a new project and add JUnit4 to the project's build path. You can set up the project in an IDE of your choice.

  • Identify the set of values that need to be tested.

How to do it...

Let's create a data-driven test using JUnit by following these steps:

  1. Create a new JUnit test class that uses a parameterized runner using @RunWith(Parameterized.class):

    package com.secookbook.examples.chapter07;
    
    import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver...
