Requirements

In order to use QTAF, you will need:

• Maven 3.8.6 or better
• Java 17 or better

Quick start

The easiest way to start using QTAF is by including it in a Maven project's dependencies. To include QTAF as a testing dependency, add the following lines to your project's pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.qytera</groupId>
    <artifactId>qtaf-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Afterwards, simply run mvn install to automatically download and make available QTAF and its dependencies from Maven's Central Repository.

Example Usage

Having QTAF installed, using it is very straightforward. A very basic, page-object-based example for testing https://duckduckgo.com could look like this:

1. open https://duckduckgo.com
2. enter test automation into the search area
3. click on the search button
4. assert that the result page's title contains the search term test automation

The test case visualized.

The test can be realized with two classes: one for the page object and one for the test cases. The complete project can be found here.

Page object

package de.qtaf.pages;

import de.qytera.qtaf.core.guice.annotations.Step;
import de.qytera.qtaf.testng.context.QtafTestNGContext;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.$

public class DuckDuckGoPage extends QtafTestNGContext {
    By searchInputSelector = By.id("search_form_input_homepage");
    By searchButtonSelector = By.id("search_button_homepage")

    @Step(
            name = "open test page",
            description = "opens a browser window and navigates to the test page"
    )
    public void openTestPage() {
        driver.get("https://duckduckgo.com");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Step(
            name = "enter search term",
            description = "enters the given search term into the search field"
    )
    public void enterSearchTerm(String term) {
        $(searchInputSelector).sendKeys(term);
    }

    @Step(
            name = "click search button",
            description = "clicks on the search button next to the search field"
    )
    public void clickSearchButton() {
        $(searchButtonSelector).click();
    }

}

Test case

package de.qtaf.tests;

import de.qtaf.pages.DuckDuckGoPage;
import de.qytera.qtaf.core.config.annotations.TestFeature;
import de.qytera.qtaf.testng.context.QtafTestNGContext;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@TestFeature(
        name = "duckduckgo search",
        description = "tests the search feature from https://duckduckgo.com"
)
public class DuckDuckGoPageTest extends QtafTestNGContext {
    @Test(
        testName = "QTAF-001",
        description = "test a simple search"
    )
    public void testSearch() {
        DuckDuckGoPage page = load(DuckDuckGoPage.class)
        page.openTestPage();
        page.enterSearchTerm("test automation");
        page.clickSearchButton();
        assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("test automation"));
    }

}
