Running tests via Maven in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test runs a Selenium WebDriver test using Maven. It opens a browser, navigates to a website, clicks a button, and verifies the page title. The test verifies that Maven can successfully execute Selenium tests.

Test Code - JUnit 5 with Selenium WebDriver

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.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;

public class MavenSeleniumTest {
    private WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        // Assuming chromedriver is in system PATH
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
    }

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

    @AfterEach
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

// To run this test via Maven, use the command:
// mvn test

Execution Trace - 9 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Maven starts test execution with 'mvn test' command	Maven initializes and compiles the test code	-	PASS
2	JUnit launches and runs the test method 'testButtonClickChangesTitle'	Test environment ready, ChromeDriver instance created	-	PASS
3	WebDriver opens Chrome browser	Chrome browser window is open and ready	-	PASS
4	WebDriver navigates to 'https://example.com'	Browser displays the example.com homepage	-	PASS
5	WebDriver finds the button with id 'start-button'	Button element is located on the page	-	PASS
6	WebDriver clicks the 'start-button'	Page updates after button click	-	PASS
7	Test asserts that the page title is 'Welcome Page'	Browser title is checked	assertEquals('Welcome Page', driver.getTitle())	PASS
8	WebDriver closes the browser	Browser window is closed	-	PASS
9	JUnit finishes test and Maven reports success	Test suite completes with no errors	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

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

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What command starts the test execution in this Maven setup?

A mvn compile

B java -jar selenium.jar

C mvn test

D selenium-server start

Key Result

Always verify that the elements your test interacts with exist on the page and are accessible before performing actions. Using Maven to run tests ensures consistent and repeatable test execution.
