To automate website testing, follow these steps:
- Identify repetitive and critical scenarios such as login, navigation, form submissions, and performance checks.
- Use tools such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright for UI and functional testing, and JMeter for performance testing.
- Configure browsers, devices, and network conditions for testing. Utilize cloud platforms such as BrowserStack for cross-browser testing.
- Create scripts for tasks such as button clicks, form validations, and navigation using programming languages supported by your chosen tool.
- Use tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions to run automated tests as part of your development pipeline.
- Run tests across different browsers and devices, analyze results, and address failures using reporting tools such as Allure.
How to build a framework for automation testing?
- Understand the Application: Before starting, study the application’s architecture, workflows, and critical functionalities. This helps define the scope and prioritize test scenarios.
- Define Testing Environments: Identify environments (e.g., staging, production) where tests will run. Gather input data for tests, such as user credentials or configurations, and decide on supported browsers, devices, and OS.
- Set Up a Foundation with Smoke Tests: Begin with a basic project focused on smoke tests, which verify critical functionalities such as login or navigation. Use this project to validate your initial framework setup.
- Create Utilities for Common Actions: Develop reusable utility methods for frequent actions, such as clicking buttons, filling forms, or capturing screenshots. This reduces redundancy and simplifies script writing.
- Implement Verification Mechanisms: Build robust methods for validations (e.g., checking element visibility, verifying text). These assertions ensure that the application behaves as expected during tests.
- Establish Logging and Reporting: Set up mechanisms to log test execution details and failures. Integrate reporting tools such as Allure, ExtentReports, or custom dashboards to visualize test results effectively.
