Overview of this book

The Selenium WebDriver 3.x Technology is an open source API available to test both Browser and Mobile applications. It is completely platform independent in that tests built for one browser or mobile device, will also work on all other browsers and mobile devices. Selenium supports all major development languages which allow it to be tied directly into the technology used to develop the applications. This guide will provide a step-by-step approach to designing and building a data-driven test framework using Selenium WebDriver, Java, and TestNG. The book starts off by introducing users to the Selenium Page Object Design Patterns and D.R.Y Approaches to Software Development. In doing so, it covers designing and building a Selenium WebDriver framework that supports both Browser and Mobile Devices. It will lead the user through a journey of architecting their own framework with a scalable driver class, Java utility classes, JSON Data Provider, Data-Driven Test Classes, and support for third party tools and plugins. Users will learn how to design and build a Selenium Grid from scratch to allow the framework to scale and support different browsers, mobile devices, versions, and platforms, and how they can leverage third party grids in the Cloud like SauceLabs. Other topics covered include designing abstract base and sub-classes, inheritance, dual-driver support, parallel testing, testing multi-branded applications, best practices for using locators, and data encapsulation. Finally, you will be presented with a sample fully-functional framework to get them up and running with the Selenium WebDriver for browser testing. By the end of the book, you will be able to design your own automation testing framework and perform data-driven testing with Selenium WebDriver.

TestNG setup/teardown methods


In the previous Rock Bands test class example, we listed some of the annotations that tell TestNG whether a certain method should be run before or after certain points in time during the test run. These are the setup and teardown methods. They come before and after a suite, test, groups, class, and method.

As simple as it may seem, there are various rules and orders of precedence when using them. Let's look at some examples.

Setup methods

When you build the test class, there will be certain Java methods annotated with @Test, which tells TestNG that the method is a test and should be run. Those tests will run in random order by default except, if you use a dependent method, a sequential naming scheme, or a priority attribute. That will force the tests to run in a specific order.

For all the methods in a suite of tests, there will be common actions that need to be executed before each suite, test, groups, class, or methods, and instead of calling the same setup method...
