What are Best Practices of Selenium Web Test Automation Framework?
The best practices for Selenium web test automation framework are listed below −
Use of dynamic waits like implicit wait and explicit wait instead of using Thread.sleep() in the framework to handle sync issues in the application.
Usage of Page Object Model framework design to segregate the test scripts from the locators. In case of changes in the web−element properties, test scripts need not be modified only the locators undergo change.
Usage of Behaviour Driven Development framework. This allows the participation of all members in the agile team to participate in product development.
Encourage testing to start from very early phases and in regular intervals of time.
Develop a robust framework which supports detailed reporting of the execution results including screenshot capture feature for failure test cases during execution.
Before creating the actual test scripts, the requirements should be broken down into smaller scenarios which can be converted to test scripts.
Intelligent choice of locators in the framework. In case id, class, name attributes are available for an element, preference should be given to them instead of xpath or css locator.
Encourage data driven framework development to execute test cases in multiple combinations of data without increasing test case count.
All the test cases should not be executed for all the browsers.
It is always recommended to create standalone tests instead of interconnected test scripts.
The test scripts and test case names should be meaningful.
Make sure browser zoom level is 100% otherwise scripts will failed in identifying correct locators.
By default, Selenium doesn’t open browser windows in maximize mode. It impacts while taking the screenshot and attach to the test report. It is always recommended to maximize the web page as 1st step as soon as URL is loaded.
