Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver 3.x is an open source API for testing both browser and mobile applications. With the help of this book, you can build a solid foundation and learn to easily perform end-to-end testing on web and mobile browsers. You'll begin by focusing on the Selenium Page Object Model for software development. You'll architect your own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, and support for third-party tools and plugins. Next, you'll design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to enable the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, and platforms. You'll also strategize and handle a rich web UI using the advanced WebDriver API, and learn techniques to tackle real-time challenges in WebDriver. Later chapters will guide you through performing different types of testing, such as cross-browser testing, load testing, and mobile testing. Finally, you will be introduced to data-driven testing, using TestNG to create your own automation framework. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt books: • Selenium WebDriver 3 Practical Guide - Second Edition by Unmesh Gundecha • Selenium Framework Design in Data-Driven Testing by Carl Cocchiaro

Summary

Finally, we are done! The code samples provided in this chapter take a lot of the best practices and standards that were discussed in the book and provide a practical working framework and set of data-driven tests to get up and running. Users must be diligent about following the patterns and data-driven approach in order to keep the framework and tests robust.

In these sample framework files, standards like the Selenium Page Object Model, DRY, inheritance, JavaDoc, comments, exception handling, synchronization, and locator best practices were all covered, along with a robust set of 30 data-driven test cases.

Of course, users must set up a development environment to download and compile all the required JAR files first, but assuming you have some knowledge of automation using Selenium WebDriver and TestNG, that should be a trivial task.

I hope you have enjoyed reading and...
