The purpose of the project is to display behavior driven framework for web applications using Protractor-Jasmine. Its one of widely used framework for front-end developed using JS libraries like Angular, React.js etc.

• Automation Tools: Protractor (5.4.2)-Jasmine (4.2.1)
• Project Setup: Suites & Spec
• Framework Design Pattern: Page Object Model
• Test Execution Report: Jasmine HTML Reporter
• Test Execution Mode: Sequence
• Browser: Chrome (86.0.4240.75) & Firefox (66.0.3)
• Screenshot: Both In built capability & manual
• Wait: Explicit waits w/ Async &await
• Assertions: Hard & Soft
• SCM: AzureDevops & Github
• Build Tool: Jenkins & AzureDevOps

• What is Protractor? Protractor is implemented over webdriverJS and webdriverJS is built on webdriver.

• What is NodeJS? NodeJs is the basic platform on which all the node modules are built, so NodeModules contributes the code in Protractor.

• What is Jasmine? Jasmine is a Unit testing frameworks tool which support behavior-driven development. It can be used for testing other frameworks like protractor using JavaScript/TypeScript.

• What is TestScript? Test scripts will have all the test case which are created using the Protractor and Jasmine

• What is selenium-standalone server? This will convert all the commands from the protractor as API commands and sends it to the browser.

• What is JSON wire Protocol? It is the bridge between the browser and the protractor.

• What is Browser? Browser could be any like chrome, firefox, Edge Application will be any web app, could be angular or non-angular application.

• Drivers:- In this folder we will keep the chrome driver executable to launch the chrome browser.

• Pages :- In this folder we will have page locators’ files and one Helper Method file.

  • Page Locators: In protractor, we will create the Page Object Modal class to develop and store the re- usable methods. These methods are nothing, but Page ObjectsPage Objects are nothing, but web elements present on the web page like Buttons, links, tabs, text bars. We have to create page object class for every page present in the application if the application is single page application (spa) we haveto create page object classes for each tab. Page Object class contains all the page object(web elements) for a particular page. For every page present application, we have to write the Page Object class.

  • Page Method: In this file we will create all the helper methods which will help in accessing the page objects this is done in order to keep the code clean and readable and to achieve the reusability.

• Resources :- Under this resources folder we will create testData.json which will hold data for any test cases , this to done to keep code clean and ensure code is readable also centralized the data incase if get changed we will have to change just here.

• Specs/Scripts:- In this folder we will have folder each with respective testing for example Functional folder will have functional test scripts, Regression will have regression-based scripts, and finally smoke will have smoke test case scripts.

• Utilities:- Under this folder we have custom libraries or helper functions to help in various operations like synchronization and last but no least setting waits.

• Package.json:- This file contains the setyp of how to run scripts and as well all packages required in order to run test cases are added in it for protability. This allows anyone new to quickly get started on the framework using simple command like 'npm install'

• Conf.js:- This file contains configuration of framework like link to test scripts, prepartion of test reports etc.

These are ways:

• Download the code from repository and run following command. It will download all libraries automatically

   npm install

• Run Single Test Spec:- You want to run LocationTestsSpec.js test class which is under regression-tests directory you will run using following command. Ensure under specs in conf.js all test specs are commented out only LocationTestsSpec.js is un-commented.

   npm test

• Run All Test Suite:- You want to run all test classes which is under regression-tests directory you will run using following command. Berfore running the command ensure in package.json file you have set protractor conf.js --suite smoke or protractor conf.js --suite regression

   npm regression-test

OR

   npm smoke-test
