Logging in Selenium

Any application is incomplete until it's activities are traceable. Here comes the use of logging. By logging important actions you can later on track anything you want especially when there are some error situations. It becomes easy to debug the issues if logs are generated properly. Similarly, it is very important that our automation framework generates logs so that whenever any test fails, we can track the issue by tracing it's logs. In this post, I will be explaining you how we can log using log4net in selenium. Before using methods of this library we need to configure this to our application. Let's do this first then. Configuring log4net in selenium: First of all you need to download this library so that this can be used. You can read about log4net and then download it from this link and save the dll file after extracting it to folder that is under your project folder. After downloading this library you need to add references of this in you project. To do ...

SELENIUM: Page Object Model

It is always good to know what actually hap pens when you do something as it gives you a better understanding of it and you can easily know what you need to do, how you need to do and where could be the f ault if something wrong happens. So, let's go th rough it in brief. Page Object Model The basic idea of this page object model is that we have a class for each page or a logical part in our application and it contains methods in it which represents the functionality of th is page. Further, tests interacts with the corresponding page class and access its methods as required. In above picture there is a login page that is there in our application and corresponding to this login page there is a LoginPage class having all the method s defined i n it which corresponds to the va...

"Hello Selenium"

Now, as we have already setup the required environment, let's just start with a hello world test with selenium. In this let's just write a basic test to make sure that our environment is working properly. For this hello selenium test we will be automating below test: Navigate to " https:// www.google.com " Write "Hello selenium" in search box Press search button Below are the code snippets: Test class UnitTest1 containing required test. Here in this class, at the top I have used two statements i.e. using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; using TestFramework; First using statement is required in for writing unit tests and second using statement is required so that we can access methods from class under TestFramework namespace. There is [TestClass] attribute used with this class. This is required so that tests written in this class can be recognized. If you miss this attribute then your tests are not going ...
