Learn Why Deep Trace Try Challenge Automate Recall Frame

Verify Java environment setup by running a simple Selenium test

Preconditions (3)

Step 1: Open the IDE and create a new Java project

Step 2: Add Selenium WebDriver dependency to the project (e.g., via Maven or manually)

Step 3: Create a new Java class named 'EnvironmentSetupTest'

Step 4: Write a simple Selenium test that opens a browser and navigates to 'https://example.com'

Step 5: Run the test from the IDE

✅ Expected Result: The browser opens and navigates to 'https://example.com' without errors, and the test completes successfully

Automation Requirements - Selenium WebDriver with JUnit 5

Assertions Needed:

Verify the page title is 'Example Domain' after navigation

Best Practices:

Use explicit waits if needed

Use WebDriverManager to manage browser drivers automatically

Use JUnit 5 annotations for setup and teardown

Keep code clean and readable

Automated Solution

Selenium Java

import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;

public class EnvironmentSetupTest {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testOpenExampleDotCom() {
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        assertEquals("Example Domain", title, "Page title should be 'Example Domain'");
    }

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

This test class EnvironmentSetupTest uses JUnit 5 and Selenium WebDriver to verify the Java environment setup.

setUp() method runs before each test. It uses WebDriverManager to automatically download and configure the ChromeDriver, then creates a new Chrome browser instance.

testOpenExampleDotCom() opens the URL 'https://example.com' and asserts the page title is exactly 'Example Domain'. This confirms Selenium and Java are working correctly.

tearDown() closes the browser after the test to clean up resources.

This structure follows best practices: using WebDriverManager avoids manual driver setup, JUnit 5 annotations organize setup and cleanup, and the assertion verifies the test outcome clearly.

Common Mistakes - 4 Pitfalls

Not setting up the browser driver correctly

Not closing the browser after test

Using outdated JUnit 4 annotations with JUnit 5 dependencies

Hardcoding driver executable paths

Bonus Challenge

Now add data-driven testing with 3 different URLs and verify their page titles
