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 TestNG


TestNG is another widely used testing framework with Selenium WebDriver. It is very similar to JUnit. TestNG has rich features for testing, such as parameterization, parallel test execution, and so on.

TestNG provides the DataProvider feature to create data-driven tests. In this recipe, we will use the DataProvider feature to create a simple test. Creating data-driven tests in TestNG is fairly easy when compared with JUnit.

Getting ready

The following are the steps we need to begin with:

  • Add TestNG dependency to the Maven pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
      <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
      <version>6.9.4</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    
  • Identify the set of values that we need to test.

How to do it...

Let's create a new test and parameterize a TestNG test using the following steps:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver...
