Maven Build Automation Tool Selenium WebDriver

Ques-What is Maven and Why to use in Selenium?
Ans- Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. The word maven means “accumulator of knowledge” .
Maven addresses two aspects of building software:
First, it describes how software is built,
Second, it describes its dependencies.
Setting up the Maven Project in Eclipse
Precondition- Maven should be installed in Eclipse -Install Maven
Step1- Open Eclipse and Click on New >Project

Step 2-Select Maven > Maven Project >Next

Step 3- Check the mention checkbox then Click Next button.

Step 4- Enter Group id (as per your requirement ) and Artifact ID (as per your requirement ) > Next

In the Group Id, enter Selenium.maven. In artifact Id, enter the project name, for example,Selenium.maven.demo. Click on Finish to create the project.

Artifact ID – project name.

GroupID -> com.maven(package name)


<dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

<version>2.53.1</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

<groupId>net.sourceforge.jexcelapi</groupId>

<artifactId>jxl</artifactId>

<version>2.6.12</version>

</dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

</dependency>

<groupId>net.sourceforge.jexcelapi</groupId>

</dependency>

Step 5- Click on pom.xml and you will get the source code of pom.xml

Step 6-To integrate Maven with Selenium then we need to add dependency with Selenium

so navigate to http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/maven.jsp

Step 8- Selenium already provided maven dependency so simply copy the below dependency

Step 9- Open pom.xml and add <dependencies> tag and paste above copy code inside <dependencies> tag

Note – Each tag should be closed like <dependencies> —-</dependencies>

After paste your pom.xml will look like

Step 10- Lets integrate the TestNG also in Maven project and Repeat the same steps as we did for Selenium

http://testng.org/doc/maven.html

Note- Once you will update pom.xml then inside your project you will get maven dependency

Write testcases in Maven Project

Step 1- Inside project select src>test>java and right click then create a class

Step 2- Specify package and class name and finish

Step 3- Create the below testng program.

Note- Its demo program you can write your test cases

package MavenDemo;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Testfacebook {

@Test

public void TestFireFox(){

    WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

     driver.manage().window().maximize();

     driver.get(“http://www.facebook.com”);

     driver.quit();

}

}

package MavenDemo;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class Testfacebook {

@Test

public void TestFireFox(){

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();

driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get(“http://www.facebook.com”);

driver.quit();

}

3.Right click on project, click on ‘Run As’ and then click on ‘Maven Test’

Executing the testng.xml from pom:Add the below lines to the pom.xml


<build>

<plugins>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

<version>2.18.1</version>

<configuration>

<forkCount>0</forkCount>

<suiteXmlFiles>

<suiteXmlFile>xxx.xml</suiteXmlFile>

</suiteXmlFiles>

</configuration>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

<build>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
