1. Effective Automation project development using Eclipse Che

2. The proposal for typical automation project is,
Abstract
Typical automation projects developed using an IDE’s (Eclipse, IntelliJ, VSTS etc.) which are installed/Configured on a local machine with all dependencies required for the IDE. Automation project development main phases (Development, Execution) are more dependent on environments and tightly coupled feasibility and expectations. If we overcome the dependency and complex configurations for automation projects (with Serving the requirements) , we may save expensive aspects like tool cost, execution time, transition situations etc. for the projects.
The proposal for typical automation project is,
“Configure once, contribute from anywhere any time, reduce time and cost”

4. 1. Challenges in current UI Automation projects and IDE’s
Life Cycle
Understand &Analysis
Feasibility Assessment
Setup Environments &
Tool Selection
Design, Plan,
Development
Test Execution & Management
Adoptability &
Flexibility
Scheduled Executions
Simple configurations
Consume minimum time
Cover maximum Environments
No IDE dependent Edits
Easy to Manage the tests
Expectations
Typical Automation Life Cycle
High level Expectations

5. Expectation Challenges Conti..
Configuration Leak
Training Cost
Down grade in Coverage/Execution Distributed Cost
Complexity in setups/
License/Machines
No IDE Dependent Edits
Minimum Time/Maximum Environments
We may not fulfil the expectation 100%, if we have challenges.
Expectation increment in automation projects gives us doubled complex challenges.
Technically each part of the automation project gives us individual challenges.

10. Main advantages for automation projects using Eclipse Che:
Browser IDE for Automation Projects
Tool cost reduces
Reduces the transformation complexity and time
Free Multiple environments
Light weight debuggers and runtimes with Docker

11. 4. A real time solution on Eclipse Che with Sample screens
Available as:
1). SaaS – Workspace hosted at Codenvy.io
2). Local Install – Host anywhere Docker runs
Local install:
Install Docker in your local machine
“docker run eclipse/che start”
It may require to map a local shared folder, Map with socket.
If the above command is success on PowerShell,

12. Conti..
By default the IDE URL is,
You can add workspace.
Select the stack.
Add the RAM along with machine
Then Click Create

13. Conti..
The workspace management is shown on dashboard
-The first start takes a while and opens the IDE for us.
- From now things are same as typical IDE

14. Conti..
For multi platform automation project we can find a example at:
This comes with Repository Map and Resources
Sample project with Success build.
