TestNG default reports in Selenium Java - Test Execution Trace

Test Overview

This test opens a web page, clicks a button, and verifies the page title. It uses TestNG framework which generates default reports showing test pass or fail status.

Test Code - TestNG

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.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SampleTest {
    WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setup() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Test
    public void testButtonClickChangesTitle() {
        driver.get("https://example.com");
        WebElement button = driver.findElement(By.id("changeTitleBtn"));
        button.click();
        String expectedTitle = "Title Changed";
        String actualTitle = driver.getTitle();
        Assert.assertEquals(actualTitle, expectedTitle, "Page title should change after button click");
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void teardown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Execution Trace - 9 Steps

Step	Action	System State	Assertion	Result
1	Test starts	TestNG test suite initialized	-	PASS
2	Browser opens ChromeDriver and maximizes window	Chrome browser window is open and maximized	-	PASS
3	Navigates to https://example.com	Example.com homepage is loaded	-	PASS
4	Finds button with id 'changeTitleBtn'	Button element is located on the page	-	PASS
5	Clicks the button	Page title changes to 'Title Changed'	-	PASS
6	Gets the page title	Page title is 'Title Changed'	Assert that actual title equals 'Title Changed'	PASS
7	Test method completes	TestNG records test as passed	-	PASS
8	Browser quits	Browser window closed	-	PASS
9	TestNG generates default report showing test passed	Report available in test-output folder with test status PASS	-	PASS

Failure Scenario

Failing Condition: Button with id 'changeTitleBtn' is not found or page title does not change as expected

Execution Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

What does the test verify after clicking the button?

A The page title changes to 'Title Changed'

B The button becomes disabled

C A new page opens in a new tab

D The button text changes

Key Result

Always verify UI changes with assertions and rely on TestNG's default reports to quickly identify test pass or fail status.
