Custom annotations in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test uses a custom annotation to mark a Selenium test method. It verifies that the test navigates to a webpage, finds a button by its ID, clicks it, and checks the resulting page title.

Test Code - JUnit 5 with Selenium WebDriver

Selenium Java

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface CustomTest {
}

@ExtendWith(CustomTestExtension.class)
public class CustomAnnotationTest {

    WebDriver driver;

    @CustomTest
    @Test
    public void testButtonClick() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("start-button"));
        button.click();
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        assertEquals("Welcome Page", title);
        driver.quit();
    }
}

// CustomTestExtension would be implemented to process @CustomTest annotations, but is omitted here for brevity.

Execution Trace - 6 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts and ChromeDriver is initialized	Browser window opens with a blank page	-	PASS
2	Navigates to https://example.com	Browser displays the example.com homepage with a button having id 'start-button'	-	PASS
3	Finds the button element by id 'start-button'	Button element is located on the page	-	PASS
4	Clicks the button	Page navigates or updates to the Welcome Page	-	PASS
5	Gets the page title	Browser shows the Welcome Page	Check if page title equals 'Welcome Page'	PASS
6	Quits the browser	Browser window closes	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Button with id 'start-button' is not found on the page

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify after clicking the button?

A The button becomes disabled

B The URL changes to a login page

C The page title changes to 'Welcome Page'

D An alert popup appears

Key Result

Using custom annotations can help organize and extend test behavior, but the core Selenium steps like locating elements and assertions remain essential for verifying functionality.
