Most testing frameworks have the concept of grouping a set of text fixtures into a ’suite’ so that you can execute a number of related tests together.

Creating test suites with Selenium doesn’t appear to be obvious at first. Here’s a simple guide on how to create and execute suites of functional tests:

Here i am using Junit scripts and Test suite()


First create two scripts....Ex:Google1 and Google2

Google1.java

------------------------------------------------------------
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google1 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}

@Test
public void testText1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------


Google2.java

------------------------------------------------------------
package defaultpackage;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google2 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;


public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}


public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}


public void testText2() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------


Here is the test suite....TestSuite1.java
------------------------------------------------------------

import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;
import junit.textui.TestRunner;

public class TestSuite1 extends TestCase {

public static Test suite()
{
TestSuite nag = new TestSuite();

nag.addTestSuite( Google1.class);
nag.addTestSuite( Google2.class);
return nag;
}

public static void main(String arg[])
{
TestRunner.run(suite());

}
}
------------------------------------------------------------



Run the TestSuite1.java script ...it will automatically run the Google1 and Google2....

Even though first test case is failed it will run the second one....we can change the order of the test cases...

Here is the sample script which will open a page...

This script was written using JUnit...


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google1 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}



@Test
public void testText1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}
}

There are many ways to do Data driven tests.I used Excel sheet for reading data and FileInputStream method.

Below script explains you how to Read data from excel sheet and use the data to search google.

I am using Eclipse, selenium RC, Junit and Excel sheet for this script.


--->Create a Java project in eclipse.
--->Create a new class DatadrivenJUnit.
--->Paste the below code in Eclipse.
--->Chnage the path of excel file according to your requirement.




Please note that selenium will support only .xls format plese do not forget to change the excel file to .xls if you are using MS-office2007.

Below is the code

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Workbook;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteControlConfiguration;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;


public class DatadrivenJUnit extends SeleneseTestCase{

public Selenium selenium;
public SeleniumServer seleniumserver;

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {

RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
rc.setSingleWindow(true);
seleniumserver = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://");
seleniumserver.start();
selenium.start();

}

@Test
public void testDatadrivenJUnit() throws Exception
{
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream("F:\\Framework\\testdata\\search.xls");
Workbook w=Workbook.getWorkbook(fi);
Sheet s=w.getSheet(0);
selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
for (int i = 1; i < s.getRows(); i++)
 { //Read data from excel sheet
 selenium.type("name=q",s.getCell(0,i).getContents());
 selenium.click("btnG");
 Thread.sleep(1000); } }
@AfterClass
 public void tearDown() throws InterruptedException{
selenium.stop();
 seleniumserver.stop();
}

 }


 Please let me know if you need more information regarding Data driven testing....
