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 in NUnit


The NUnit framework has been widely used by the Selenium WebDriver community to create test scripts with .NET bindings.

Similar to the JUnit framework, the NUnit framework also supports data-driven testing in the simplest manner. In this recipe, we will create a Selenium WebDriver test using NUnit. We will read the test data from an XML file used in the first recipe.

Getting ready

To begin, follow these steps:

  1. Download and install NUnit from http://www.nunit.org/

  2. Create the test data file in the XML format as follows:

      <testdata>
      <vars height="160" weight="45" bmi="17.6" bmi_category="Underweight" />
      <vars height="168" weight="70" bmi="24.8" bmi_category="Normal" />
      <vars height="181" weight="89" bmi="27.2" bmi_category="Overweight" />
      <vars height="178" weight="100" bmi="31.6" bmi_category="Obesity" />
    </testdata>
  3. Create a new C# class library project and name it BMICalculator

  4. Add a reference to NUnit, WebDriver...
