What is an Extent Report in Selenium testing?

An Extent Report is a detailed and visually rich report generated after running Selenium tests. It helps testers see which tests passed, failed, or were skipped, along with logs and screenshots.

How can you change the report title in Extent Reports?

You can customize the report title by using the config().setDocumentTitle("Your Title") method on the ExtentHtmlReporter object before attaching it to ExtentReports.

Which method is used to add system information like OS or tester name in Extent Reports?

Use extent.setSystemInfo("Key", "Value") to add system details such as OS, browser, or tester name to the report.

How do you change the theme of an Extent Report?

You can set the theme using config().setTheme(Theme.STANDARD) or config().setTheme(Theme.DARK) on the ExtentHtmlReporter object.

beginner

B Blue and Red

C Classic and Modern

D Light and Dark

Extent Reports supports Theme.STANDARD (light) and Theme.DARK by default.

What is the role of ExtentHtmlReporter in Extent Reports?

A It logs test steps

B It runs the Selenium tests

C It generates the HTML report file

D It manages test data

ExtentHtmlReporter handles the creation and customization of the HTML report.

To customize the report name shown on the report page, which method is used?

A setSystemInfo()

B setDocumentTitle()

C setTheme()

D config().setReportName()

config().setReportName() changes the visible report name on the page header.

Explain how to customize the title, theme, and system info in an Extent Report.

Think about the ExtentHtmlReporter and ExtentReports objects and their configuration methods.

Describe the steps to attach an ExtentHtmlReporter to ExtentReports and generate a customized report.

Focus on the order of creating reporter, configuring, attaching, and flushing.

Practice

1. What is the main purpose of customizing an Extent report in Selenium Java?

easy

A. To make test results clearer and easier to understand

B. To increase the speed of test execution

C. To reduce the size of the test scripts

D. To automatically fix test failures

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand Extent report role

   Extent reports show test results in a readable format.

2. Step 2: Identify customization benefits

   Customization helps make these results clearer and more useful.

3. Final Answer:

   To make test results clearer and easier to understand -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Customization = clearer test results [OK]

Hint: Think: Why improve report look? To understand results better [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing report customization with test speed
• Thinking customization changes test logic
• Assuming customization fixes test errors

2. Which code snippet correctly sets the theme of an Extent report to DARK in Selenium Java?

easy

A. extentHtmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK);

B. extentHtmlReporter.setTheme("dark");

C. extentHtmlReporter.config().theme = "dark";

D. extentHtmlReporter.setConfigTheme(Theme.DARK);

Solution

1. Step 1: Recall ExtentReports theme setting syntax

   Use config() method and setTheme with Theme enum.

2. Step 2: Match correct method and enum usage

   Only extentHtmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK); uses config().setTheme(Theme.DARK) correctly.

3. Final Answer:

   extentHtmlReporter.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK); -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Use config().setTheme(Theme.DARK) [OK]

Hint: Remember: config() then setTheme with Theme enum [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using setTheme directly without config()
• Passing theme as string instead of Theme enum
• Using incorrect method names

3. Given the following code snippet, what will be the title of the generated Extent report?

ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter("testReport.html");
htmlReporter.config().setDocumentTitle("My Test Report");
ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports();
extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter);

medium

A. Extent Report

B. testReport.html

C. My Test Report

D. Default Title

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify method setting report title

   config().setDocumentTitle("My Test Report") sets the HTML page title.

2. Step 2: Understand effect on report

   The report's browser tab will show "My Test Report" as title.

3. Final Answer:

   My Test Report -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   setDocumentTitle sets report title [OK]

Hint: Look for setDocumentTitle method for report title [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing file name with report title
• Assuming default title is used
• Ignoring config() method effects

4. Identify the error in the following code that prevents the Extent report from saving properly:

ExtentHtmlReporter reporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter("report.html");
ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports();
extent.attachReporter(reporter);
// Missing flush call

medium

A. ExtentHtmlReporter should be initialized after ExtentReports

B. Incorrect file name extension, should be .txt

C. attachReporter method is deprecated and should not be used

D. Missing call to extent.flush() to save the report

Solution

1. Step 1: Check report saving process

   Extent report requires extent.flush() to write data to file.

2. Step 2: Identify missing flush call

   The code does not call extent.flush(), so report is not saved.

3. Final Answer:

   Missing call to extent.flush() to save the report -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Always call extent.flush() to save report [OK]

Hint: Remember to call extent.flush() after tests [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Forgetting to call flush()
• Changing file extension incorrectly
• Misunderstanding attachReporter usage

5. You want to add system information like OS and Java version to your Extent report. Which code snippet correctly adds this info before flushing the report?

ExtentReports extent = new ExtentReports();
ExtentHtmlReporter htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter("sysInfoReport.html");
extent.attachReporter(htmlReporter);
// Add system info here
extent.flush();

hard

A. htmlReporter.setSystemInfo("OS", System.getProperty("os.name"));
htmlReporter.setSystemInfo("Java Version", System.getProperty("java.version"));

B. extent.addSystemInfo("OS", System.getProperty("os.name"));
extent.addSystemInfo("Java Version", System.getProperty("java.version"));

C. extent.setSystemInfo("OS", System.getProperty("os.name"));
extent.setSystemInfo("Java Version", System.getProperty("java.version"));

D. htmlReporter.addSystemInfo("OS", System.getProperty("os.name"));
htmlReporter.addSystemInfo("Java Version", System.getProperty("java.version"));

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify correct method to add system info

   ExtentReports class has addSystemInfo method to add info.

2. Step 2: Confirm usage on ExtentReports instance

   System info is added on extent, not on htmlReporter.

3. Final Answer:

   extent.addSystemInfo("OS", System.getProperty("os.name")); extent.addSystemInfo("Java Version", System.getProperty("java.version")); -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Use extent.addSystemInfo() before flush [OK]

Hint: Add system info on extent, not htmlReporter [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Calling setSystemInfo on htmlReporter instead of extent
• Using setSystemInfo which does not exist
• Adding system info after flush()
