Absolutely!
Transitioning your Selenium Java knowledge into a complete
project is a fantastic way to solidify your learning. Here's a suggestion for
a project, a suitable website, and a list of scenarios that will allow you to
practice a wide range of Selenium Java concepts:
Project Idea: End-to-End Test Automation for an E-commerce
Website
This project will involve automating various user flows on an e-commerce
website, covering different aspects of web application testing.
Website to Automate:
Let's use the practice e-commerce website:
https://www.demoblaze.com/
This website is excellent for practicing automation because it has:
A simple and consistent structure.
Various functionalities like browsing products, adding to cart, user
registration, and placing orders (simulated).
Elements that are generally easy to identify.
Selenium Java Practice Scenarios:
Here's a list of scenarios that will help you practice different Selenium Java
concepts:
Core Functionality & Navigation:
1. Verify Website Title and URL:
o Launch the browser and navigate to the Demoblaze website.
o Assert that the actual title of the page matches the expected
title.
o Assert that the current URL of the page is correct.
2. Navigate Through Product Categories:
o Click on each of the product categories (Phones, Laptops,
Monitors) on the homepage.
o For each category, verify that the correct product listing page
is displayed (e.g., the URL contains "/category?id=1" for
Phones).
o Assert that at least one product is displayed in each category.
3. Product Details Page Verification:
o From the homepage, click on a specific product.
o On the product details page, verify that the product image,
title, price, and description are displayed.
User Interactions:
4. Add Product to Cart and Verify:
o Navigate to a product details page.
o Click the "Add to cart" button.
o Handle the alert that appears (e.g., using Alert interface).
o Navigate to the "Cart" page.
o Assert that the added product is present in the cart with the
correct name and price.
5. Remove Product from Cart:
o Navigate to the "Cart" page (after adding at least one
product).
o Click the "Delete" button for one of the products.
o Assert that the product is removed from the cart (either the
row disappears or a "Cart is empty" message is displayed).
6. User Registration (Simulated):
o Navigate to the "Sign up" modal.
o Enter a unique username and password (you'll need to
generate unique values for each test run to avoid conflicts).
o Click the "Sign up" button.
o Handle the alert that appears (simulating successful or
unsuccessful registration).
o Note: This website doesn't have persistent user accounts, so
you'll be testing the UI flow and alert handling.
7. User Login (Simulated):
o After a simulated signup, or using some default credentials if
you prefer, navigate to the "Log in" modal.
o Enter the username and password.
o Click the "Log in" button.
o Assert that the "Welcome" message with the username is
displayed in the navigation bar (if successful).
Advanced Scenarios:
8. Placing an Order (Simulated):
o Add one or more products to the cart.
o Navigate to the "Cart" page.
o Click the "Place Order" button.
o Fill in the order form with sample data.
o Click the "Purchase" button.
o Assert that the "Thank you for your purchase!" modal appears.
o Click the "OK" button on the modal.
9. Data-Driven Testing for Adding to Cart:
o Create a data source (e.g., a CSV file or an array in your code)
containing different product names.
o Write a test that iterates through this data source:
Navigates to the product details page for each product.
Adds the product to the cart.
Verifies that the correct product is added to the cart.
10. Using Different Locators:
o For each of the above scenarios, try to locate elements using
different strategies:
ID
Name
ClassName
TagName
LinkText
PartialLinkText
XPath (both absolute and relative)
CSS Selectors
o Analyze which locators are most effective and robust for
different elements on the page.
11. Handling Asynchronous Operations (Implicit and
Explicit Waits):
o Implement both implicit and explicit waits in your tests to
handle elements that may take time to load or appear on the
page. Observe how different wait strategies affect the test
execution.
12. Taking Screenshots on Test Failure:
o Implement a mechanism to capture screenshots when a test
assertion fails. This is crucial for debugging and reporting.
13. Basic Test Reporting:
o Integrate a basic reporting mechanism (e.g., using
System.out.println or a simple logging framework) to output
the results of each test scenario.
Tips for Making it a Complete Project:
Project Structure: Organize your code into logical packages (e.g.,
pages, tests, utils).
Page Object Model (POM): Implement the Page Object Model
design pattern to create maintainable and reusable code. Create
separate classes for each page of the website, containing the
locators and methods for interacting with the elements on that
page.
TestNG or JUnit: Use a testing framework like TestNG or JUnit for
structuring your tests, running them, and generating reports.
Configuration: Externalize configuration details like the browser
type and base URL (e.g., using a properties file).
Reusability: Write reusable methods for common actions (e.g.,
clicking a button, entering text).
Comments and Documentation: Add clear comments to your
code to explain its functionality.
By working through these scenarios on the Demoblaze website and
following the tips for structuring your project, you'll gain valuable hands-
on experience with Selenium Java and build a solid foundation for more
complex automation tasks. Good luck! Let me know if you have any more
questions as you progress.
