Test suites (testng.xml) in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test suite runs two simple Selenium tests using TestNG. It verifies that the Google homepage title is correct and that the search box is present.

Test Code - TestNG

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class GoogleTests {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Test
    public void testHomePageTitle() {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        Assert.assertEquals(title, "Google");
    }

    @Test
    public void testSearchBoxPresent() {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
        Assert.assertTrue(searchBox.isDisplayed());
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Execution Trace - 4 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	TestNG suite starts -> ChromeDriver launches browser	Browser window opens maximized, blank page	-	PASS
2	Navigate to https://www.google.com for testHomePageTitle	Google homepage loads with title 'Google'	Check page title equals 'Google'	PASS
3	Navigate to https://www.google.com for testSearchBoxPresent	Google homepage loads with search box visible	Verify search box element with name 'q' is displayed	PASS
4	TestNG suite finishes -> Browser closes	Browser window closes	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: If the Google homepage title is not 'Google' or search box is not found

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the testHomePageTitle test verify?

A The search box is clickable

B The page title is 'Google'

C The browser opens maximized

D The page URL contains 'google'

Key Result

Using a test suite XML file like testng.xml helps organize and run multiple tests together easily, improving test management and reporting.
