Extent Reports setup in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test sets up Extent Reports in a Selenium Java test. It verifies that the report file is created and logs test steps correctly.

Test Code - JUnit 5

Execution Trace - 7 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts - JUnit initializes test class and calls @BeforeAll setup method	ExtentSparkReporter created with path 'test-output/ExtentReport.html'. ExtentReports instance attached to reporter.	-	PASS
2	ExtentTest instance created and logs info 'Extent Report initialized'	Test named 'Extent Report Setup Test' ready to log steps.	-	PASS
3	JUnit runs sampleTest method	Test logs info 'Starting sample test'.	assertTrue(true) verifies condition is true	PASS
4	Test logs pass status 'Sample test passed'	Test step recorded in ExtentTest instance.	-	PASS
5	JUnit runs reportFileExists method	Checks if report file exists at 'test-output/ExtentReport.html'	assertTrue(reportFile.exists()) verifies report file presence	PASS
6	Test logs info 'Verified report file exists'	Log added to ExtentTest instance.	-	PASS
7	JUnit calls @AfterAll tearDown method	ExtentReports flush() writes all logs to report file.	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Extent report file is not created or not found after flush

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify about the Extent Report?

A That the browser opens correctly

B That the report file is created and test steps are logged

C That the web page loads without errors

D That the test fails when assertion is false

Key Result

Always call ExtentReports.flush() after tests to ensure the report file is properly written and saved.
