Java environment setup (JDK, IDE) in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test checks if the Java environment is correctly set up for Selenium testing. It verifies that the JDK is installed, the IDE can compile and run a simple Selenium test, and the browser driver is accessible.

Test Code - Selenium

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class EnvironmentSetupTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set path to chromedriver executable
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "./drivers/chromedriver.exe");

        // Initialize ChromeDriver
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Open a simple website
        driver.get("https://www.example.com");

        // Check page title
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        if (title.equals("Example Domain")) {
            System.out.println("Test Passed: Correct page loaded.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Test Failed: Incorrect page title.");
        }

        // Close browser
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Execution Trace - 6 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Start IDE and open Java project with Selenium dependencies	IDE is open with the test code loaded and ready to run	-	PASS
2	Compile the Java test code	Code compiles without errors	No compilation errors	PASS
3	Run the test main method	Browser window opens and navigates to https://www.example.com	Browser opens and loads the page	PASS
4	Retrieve the page title from the browser	Page title is fetched as 'Example Domain'	Page title equals 'Example Domain'	PASS
5	Print test result message to console	Console shows 'Test Passed: Correct page loaded.'	Output message confirms correct page loaded	PASS
6	Close the browser and end the test	Browser window closes	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: JDK not installed or PATH not set, IDE cannot compile, or chromedriver path incorrect

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify when it prints 'Test Passed: Correct page loaded.'?

A The JDK version is the latest

B The IDE is installed correctly

C The browser opened and loaded the correct webpage

D The chromedriver is outdated

Key Result

Always verify that the JDK is installed and configured correctly, the IDE can compile your code, and the browser driver path is set properly before running Selenium tests.
