Why Testing Makes Sense It builds Confidence that the systems is behaving as it should. Validates no regression bugs have been introduced Pins the functionality Helps find problems early Detecting difference

Test Types Unit Tests Integration Tests Functional Tests

The Right Balance

Testing Your Alfresco Add-ons Automation Tools

WebDriver An open source browser automation API. Supports different OS, languages and browsers.

WebDriver Code { //Start fire fox WebDriver driver = new FireFoxDriver(); //Navigate to share driver.navigate( }

Locator Strategies Id Name Tag name Class name CSS selector Xpath Link Text Partial Link Text

Locator Strategies In Action { //By Id WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id(“iusername”)); //By Name WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.name(“password”)); //By Tag Name WebElement btn= driver.findElement(By.tagName(“button”)); //By CSS selector username = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“input#iusername”)); //By class name WebElement btn =driver.findElement(By.className(“button”)); //By xpath btn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“//button)); }

Interacting With Elements { //Find Element By Id WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(“foo”)); //check if visible element.isDisplayed(); //type in admin element.sendKeys(“admin”); //clear input field element.clear(); //click action element.click(); //get text element.getText(); }

Testing Your Alfresco Add-ons Best Practice

Always Use Page Object Pattern Render Pattern

Page Object “A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML” Martin Fowler

Login Page Object public class LoginPage { private static By USERNAME_INPUT = By.id(“username"); private static By PASSWORD_INPUT = By.id(“password"); private static By SUBMIT_BUTTON = By.id(“submit"); public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {} public void login(String username, String password) { // Find By Id WebElement username = driver.findElement(USERNAME_INPUT); username.sendKeys(username); WebElement password = driver.findElement(PASSWORD_INPUT); password.sendKeys(password); driver.findElement(SUBMIT_BUTTON).click(); }

Why You Should Use Page Objects Encourages re-use of the code Makes tests more readable Encapsulates mechanical details of the page Easier to maintain

Render Pattern The logic which determines if a page has rendered, by checking that all the required web elements of the page, are visible before it can be used.

Render Method In Action public LoginPage render(RenderTime timer) { while (true) { timer.start(); try { if(driver.find(USERNAME_INPUT).isDisplayed() && driver.find(PASSWORD_INPUT).isDisplayed() && driver.find(SUBMIT_BUTTON).isDisplayed() { break; } catch (NoSuchElementException nse){} finally { timer.end(); } return this; }

Share PO Project Aims to mimic user interaction on Alfresco Share. A library that is simple, reliable and reusable. The project started in 2012 and is now part of Alfresco core.

WebDrone Project A Selenium WebDriver wrapper with added functionality. Provides additional tools: Selenium grid Image recognition Language support

Things To Avoid WebDriver code in test code Assertions in page objects Thread sleep
