Selenium dependency configuration in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test verifies that Selenium WebDriver is correctly configured as a dependency in a Java project using Maven. It checks if the WebDriver can be instantiated and a simple browser action can be performed.

Test Code - JUnit 5 with Selenium WebDriver

Selenium Java

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

public class SeleniumDependencyTest {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        // Assuming chromedriver executable is in system PATH
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void testOpenGoogle() {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        assertTrue(title.contains("Google"), "Title should contain 'Google'");
    }

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

Execution Trace - 5 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and JUnit initializes the test class	JUnit test runner is ready to execute tests	-	PASS
2	BeforeEach method runs: ChromeDriver instance is created	Chrome browser window opens controlled by WebDriver	ChromeDriver object is not null	PASS
3	Test method runs: WebDriver navigates to https://www.google.com	Browser displays Google homepage	Page title contains 'Google'	PASS
4	AfterEach method runs: WebDriver quits and browser closes	Browser window is closed, WebDriver session ends	-	PASS
5	Test finishes and JUnit reports results	Test report shows test passed	All assertions passed	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Selenium WebDriver dependency is missing or misconfigured, or ChromeDriver executable is not found

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify about Selenium dependency?

A That the browser UI looks exactly like Google homepage

B That WebDriver can be instantiated and used to open a browser

C That the test framework is JUnit 4

D That the Chrome browser is installed on the system

Key Result

Always verify that Selenium WebDriver dependencies are correctly declared and that the browser driver executable is accessible to avoid runtime errors.
