A Complete Skeleton for developing a framework Using TestNG , Cucumber, Maven and Selenium

 

Creating a complete Maven structured framework with all the specified features and integrations is beyond the scope of a single response. However, I can provide you with a step-by-step guide to help you set up the framework and achieve the mentioned functionalities. This guide assumes that you are familiar with Java, Selenium, TestNG, Maven, and Jenkins.hashtag#learnAutomation

My way of Developing of Automation framework Using Maven , TestNG Using Selenium .
I just Provided The skeleton of upcoming End To End Framework.
🎯 Create Maven Structured Framework with all necessary Automation
dependencies
🎯Select Sample Application to Automate the end-to-end flow
Implement Page object Model mechanism to drive the locators from
respective classes
🎯Drive object creation within Page object classes encapsulating it from Tests
🎯Create Base Test which sets browser configuration details and Global
properties
🎯Decide the Test Strategy, how tests should be clubbed & distributed with
appropriate annotations
🎯Create TestNG runner file to trigger the tests with one Single point of
execution control
🎯Introduce Grouping in TestNG.xml to categorize tests with different tags of execution
🎯Implement Data driven testing & Parameterization using TestNG Data
provider Hash Map & Json File readers
🎯Implement TestNG Listeners to capture Screenshot on automatic test
failures and logging
🎯Create Extent Report wrapper to generate excellent HTML reports for the
application
🎯Make Framework necessary changes to support parallel execution with
Thread safe mechanism
🎯Implement TestNG retry mechanism to rerun the failed flaky tests in the
application
🎯Run the Framework tests with Maven commands with TestNG Maven
integration plugin
🎯Implement Maven Run time variables to replace global parameters of test
data at run time
🎯Integrate the Framework with Jenkins with Parameterized Build Pipeline
Jobs & Schedule the jobs on specific time frames
🎯Add Cucumber Wrapper to existing framework with Cucumber TestNG
Runner
🎯Create Feature files & Step definitions to support Cucumber execution of
Selenium Tests
🎯Understanding how cucumber tags, Data driven & Parameterization works in
running the tests.

Here is the Project Structure and create a Maven Project with this structure

- src

  - main

    - java

      - com.example.framework

        - base

        - pages

        - utils

      - tests

  - test

    - resources

- config

- target

- testng.xml

- pom.xml

2.Add necessary dependencies to your pom.xml:

<!-- Selenium -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

    <version>3.141.59</version>

</dependency>

<!-- TestNG -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.testng</groupId>

    <artifactId>testng</artifactId>

    <version>7.3.0</version>

</dependency>

<!-- Extent Reports -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>

    <artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>

    <version>4.1.5</version>

</dependency>

3.Create a BaseTest class to set up browser configuration and global properties.

package com.example.framework.base;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;

public class BaseTest {

    protected WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeMethod

    public void setUp() {

        // Set up browser configuration

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");

        driver = new ChromeDriver();

    }

    @AfterMethod

    public void tearDown() {

        // Close the browser

        driver.quit();

    }

}

4.Implement the Page Object Model with classes for each page.

package com.example.framework.pages; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy; public class HomePage { private WebDriver driver; @FindBy(xpath = "//a[@id='login']") private WebElement loginButton; public HomePage(WebDriver driver) { this.driver = driver; } public void clickLogin() { loginButton.click(); } }

5.Write your TestNG tests using the Page Object Model.

package com.example.framework.tests; import com.example.framework.base.BaseTest; import com.example.framework.pages.HomePage; import org.testng.annotations.Test; public

Step 6: TestNG Annotations and Groups

Use TestNG annotations to control the test execution flow and group your tests.

package com.example.framework.tests; import com.example.framework.base.BaseTest; import com.example.framework.pages.HomePage; import org.testng.annotations.Test; public class LoginTest extends BaseTest { @Test(groups = "smoke") public void loginTest() { HomePage homePage = new HomePage(driver); homePage.clickLogin(); // Add login validation/assertions } }

Step 7: Data-Driven Testing

Implement data-driven testing using TestNG DataProvider, HashMap, and JSON file readers.

@DataProvider(name = "loginData") public Object[][] getLoginData() { // Read data from Excel, CSV, JSON, or any other source return new Object[][] { {"username1", "password1"}, {"username2", "password2"}, // Add more test data }; } @Test(dataProvider = "loginData") public void loginTest(String username, String password) { // Use username and password for login }

Step 8: TestNG Listeners

Implement TestNG listeners for capturing screenshots on test failures and logging.

public class CustomListener implements ITestListener { @Override public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) { // Capture screenshot // Log the failure details } }

Step 9: Extent Reports

Create an Extent Report wrapper to generate HTML reports.

public class ExtentReportListener implements ITestListener { private ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports(); @Override public void onStart(ITestContext context) { // Set up Extent Report configuration } @Override public void onTestSuccess(ITestResult result) { // Log success details in the report } @Override public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) { // Log failure details in the report } @Override public void onFinish(ITestContext context) { // Flush and close the Extent Report extent.flush(); extent.close(); } }

Step 10: Parallel Execution

Make your framework thread-safe to support parallel execution.

public class ThreadSafeTest extends BaseTest { @Test(threadPoolSize = 3, invocationCount = 3, timeOut = 10000) public void parallelTest() { // Your test logic } }

    }
