Extent report customization in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a web page, performs a simple check, and logs the test steps and results using a customized Extent Report. It verifies that the page title matches the expected value and records the outcome in the report.

Test Code - TestNG with Selenium and ExtentReports

Selenium Java

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
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;

import com.aventstack.extentreports.ExtentTest;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentSparkReporter;
import com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.configuration.Theme;

public class ExtentReportCustomizationTest {
    WebDriver driver;
    ExtentReports extent;
    ExtentTest test;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setup() {
        // Setup ExtentReports with custom configuration
        ExtentSparkReporter spark = new ExtentSparkReporter("extent-custom-report.html");
        spark.config().setDocumentTitle("Custom Test Report");
        spark.config().setReportName("Login Page Tests");
        spark.config().setTheme(Theme.DARK);

        extent = new ExtentReports();
        extent.attachReporter(spark);

        // Setup WebDriver
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

    @Test
    public void verifyPageTitle() {
        test = extent.createTest("Verify Page Title");
        test.info("Navigating to example.com");
        driver.get("https://example.com");

        String title = driver.getTitle();
        test.info("Page title retrieved: " + title);

        Assert.assertEquals(title, "Example Domain");
        test.pass("Page title is as expected.");
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void teardown() {
        driver.quit();
        extent.flush();
    }
}

Execution Trace - 7 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Initialize ExtentReports with custom title, report name, and dark theme	ExtentReports ready to log test steps with customized settings	-	PASS
2	Launch Chrome browser using Selenium WebDriver	Chrome browser window opened and ready	-	PASS
3	Create a new test entry in ExtentReports named 'Verify Page Title'	Test log initialized for this test case	-	PASS
4	Navigate browser to 'https://example.com'	Browser displays the Example Domain page	-	PASS
5	Retrieve the page title from the browser	Page title is 'Example Domain'	Verify page title equals 'Example Domain'	PASS
6	Log success message in ExtentReports for title verification	Test log updated with pass status	-	PASS
7	Close the browser and flush ExtentReports to write the report file	Browser closed, report file 'extent-custom-report.html' generated with custom settings	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Page title does not match 'Example Domain'

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify on the web page?

A The page contains a login form

B The page URL is 'https://google.com'

C The page title matches 'Example Domain'

D The page background color is dark

Key Result

Customizing the Extent Report with meaningful titles and themes improves report readability and helps stakeholders quickly understand test results.
