TestCentricity™ Web

Gem Version License (3-Clause BSD)

The TestCentricity™ Web core generic framework for desktop and mobile web site testing implements a Page Object and Data Object Model DSL for use with Cucumber, Capybara, and Selenium-Webdriver.

The TestCentricity™ Web gem supports running automated tests against the following web test targets:

  • locally hosted desktop browsers (Firefox*, Chrome, Safari, or IE)
  • locally hosted emulated iOS Mobile Safari, Android, Windows Phone, or Blackberry mobile browsers (using Firefox or Chrome)
  • a "headless" browser (using Poltergeist and PhantomJS)
  • mobile Safari browsers on iOS device simulators (using Appium and XCode on OS X)
  • cloud hosted desktop (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, or Edge) or mobile (iOS Mobile Safari or Android) web browsers using the Browserstack, Sauce Labs, CrossBrowserTesting, or TestingBot services.

Note: Test execution against local instances of Firefox version 48 or greater is currently not supported by the TestCentricity™ Web gem. Testing with Firefox 48 or greater requires Marionette (aka geckodriver) and selenium-webdriver version 3.x, both of which are currently in Beta and not feature complete.

Installation

Add this line to your automation project's Gemfile:

gem 'testcentricity_web'

Page Objects

The Page Object Model is a test automation pattern that aims to create an abstraction of your web app's User Interface that can be used in tests. A Page Object is an object that represents a single page in your AUT (Application Under Test). Page Objects encapsulate the implementation details of a web page and expose an API that supports interaction with, and validation of the UI elements on the page.

Page Objects makes it easier to maintain automated tests because changes to page UI elements are updated in only one location - in the Page Object class definition. By adopting a Page Object Model, Cucumber Feature files and step definitions are no longer required to hold specific information about a page's UI objects, thus minimizing maintenance requirements. If any element on a page changes (URL path, text field attributes, button captions, etc.), maintenance is performed in the Page Object class definition only, typically with no need to update the affected feature file, scenarios, or step definitions.

Defining a Page Object

Your Page Object class definitions should be contained within individual .rb files in the features/support/pages folder of your test automation project. You define new Page Objects as shown below:

class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
end


class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
end


class RegistrationPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
end

Adding Traits to your Page Object

Web pages typically have names and URLs associated with them. Web pages also typically have a unique object or attribute that, when present, indicates that the page's contents have fully loaded.

The page_name trait is registered with the PageManager object, which includes a find_page method that takes a page name as a parameter and returns an instance of the associated Page Object. If you intend to use the PageManager, you must define a page_name trait for each of the Page Objects to be registered.

A page_url trait should be defined if a page can be directly loaded using a URL. If you set Capybara's app_host, or specify a base URL when calling the WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver method, then your page_url trait can be the relative URL slug that will be appended to the base URL specified in app_host. Specifying a page_url trait is optional, as not all web pages can be directly loaded via a URL.

A page_locator trait is defined if a page has a unique object or attribute that exists once the page's contents have fully loaded. The page_locator trait is a CSS or Xpath expression that uniquely identifies the object or attribute. The verify_page_exists method waits for the page_locator trait to exist.

You define your page's Traits as shown below:

class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Login' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/sign_in' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.login-body' }
end


class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Home' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/dashboard' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.dashboard' }
end


class RegistrationPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Registration' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/register' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.registration' }
end

Adding UI Elements to your Page Object

UI Elements are added to your Page Object class definition as shown below:

class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Login' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/sign_in' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.login-body' }

  # Login page UI elements
  textfield :user_id_field,       'input#userName'
  textfield :password_field,      'input#password'
  button    :login_button,        'button#login'
  checkbox  :remember_checkbox,   'input#rememberUser'
  label     :error_message_label, 'div#statusBar.login-error'
end


class RegistrationPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Registration' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/register' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.registration' }

  # Registration page UI elements
  textfields  first_name_field:    'input#firstName',
              last_name_field:     'input#lastName',
              email_field:         'input#email',
              phone_number_field:  'input#phone',
              address_field:       'input#streetAddress',
              city_field:          'input#city',
              post_code_field:     'input#postalCode',
              password_field:      'input#password',
              pword_confirm_field: 'input#passwordConfirmation'
  selectlists title_select:        'select#title',
              gender_select:       'select#gender',
              state_select:        'select#stateProvince'
  checkbox    :email_opt_in_check, 'input#marketingEmailsOptIn'
  button      :sign_up_button,     'button#registrationSignUp'
end

Once your Page Objects have been instantiated, you can interact with the UI Elements in your Page Objects. An example is shown below:

.user_id_field.set('snicklefritz')
.password_field.set('Pa55w0rd')
..click

Adding Methods to your Page Object

It is good practice for your Cucumber step definitions to call high level methods in your your Page Object instead of directly accessing and interacting with a page object's UI elements. You can add high level methods to your Page Object class definition for interacting with the UI to hide implementation details, as shown below:

class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Login' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/sign_in' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.login-body' }

  # Login page UI elements
  textfield :user_id_field,        'input#userName'
  textfield :password_field,       'input#password'
  button    :login_button,         'button#login'
  checkbox  :remember_checkbox,    'input#rememberUser'
  label     :error_message_label,  'div#statusBar.login-error'
  link      :forgot_password_link, 'a.forgotPassword'

  # log in to web app
  def (user_id, password)
    user_id_field.set(user_id)
    password_field.set(password)
    .click
  end

  def remember_me(state)
    remember_checkbox.set_checkbox_state(state)
  end

  # verify Login page default UI state
  def verify_page_ui
    ui = {
                 => { :visible => true, :value => 'LOGIN' },
        user_id_field        => { :visible => true, :enabled => true },
        password_field       => { :visible => true, :enabled => true, :value => '', :placeholder => 'Password' },
        remember_checkbox    => { :exists  => true, :enabled => true, :checked => false },
        forgot_password_link => { :visible => true, :value => 'Forgot your password?' },
        error_message_label  => { :visible => false }
        }
    verify_ui_states(ui)
    super
  end
end


class RegistrationPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Registration' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/register' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.registration' }

  # Registration page UI elements
  textfields  first_name_field:    'input#firstName',
              last_name_field:     'input#lastName',
              email_field:         'input#email',
              phone_number_field:  'input#phone',
              address_field:       'input#streetAddress',
              city_field:          'input#city',
              post_code_field:     'input#postalCode',
              password_field:      'input#password',
              pword_confirm_field: 'input#passwordConfirmation'
  selectlists title_select:        'select#title',
              gender_select:       'select#gender',
              state_select:        'select#stateProvince'
  checkbox    :email_opt_in_check, 'input#marketingEmailsOptIn'
  button      :sign_up_button,     'button#registrationSignUp'

  # populate Registration page fields with profile data
  def enter_profile_data(profile)
    fields = { title_select        => profile.title,
               first_name_field    => profile.first_name,
               last_name_field     => profile.last_name,
               gender_select       => profile.gender,
               phone_number_field  => profile.phone,
               email_field         => profile.email,
               address_field       => profile.address,
               city_field          => profile.city,
               state_select        => profile.state,
               post_code_field     => profile.postal_code,
               password_field      => profile.password,
               pword_confirm_field => profile.confirm_password
      }
    populate_data_fields(fields)
    .click
  end
end

Once your Page Objects have been instantiated, you can call your methods as shown below:

.remember_me(true)
.user_id_field.set('snicklefritz', 'Pa55w0rd')

PageSection Objects

A PageSection Object is a collection of UI Elements that may appear in multiple locations on a page, or on multiple pages in a web app. It is a collection of UI Elements that represent a conceptual area of functionality, like a navigation bar, a search capability, or a menu. UI Elements and functional behavior are confined to the scope of a PageSection Object.

A PageSection Object may contain other PageSection Objects.

Defining a PageSection Object

Your PageSection class definitions should be contained within individual .rb files in the features/support/sections folder of your test automation project. You define new PageSection Objects as shown below:

class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
end

Adding Traits to a PageSection Object

A PageSection Object typically has a root node object that encapsulates a collection of UI Elements. The section_locator trait specifies the CSS or Xpath expression that uniquely identifies that root node object.

You define your page section's Traits as shown below:

class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
  trait(:section_locator)   { 'form#gnav-search' }
  trait(:section_name)      { 'Search widget' }
end

Adding UI Elements to your PageSection Object

UI Elements are added to your PageSection class definition as shown below:

class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
  trait(:section_locator)   { 'form#gnav-search' }
  trait(:section_name)      { 'Search widget' }

  # Search Form UI elements
  textfield :search_field,  'input#search-query'
  button    :search_button, 'button[type=submit]'
end

Adding Methods to your PageSection Object

You can add high level methods to your PageSection class definition, as shown below:

class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
  trait(:section_locator)   { 'form#gnav-search' }
  trait(:section_name)      { 'Search widget' }

  # Search Form UI elements
  textfield :search_field,  'input#search-query'
  button    :search_button, 'button[type=submit]'

  def search_for(value)
    search_field.set(value)
    search_button.click
  end
end

Adding PageSection Objects to your Page Object

You add a PageSection Object to its associated Page Object as shown below:

class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
  trait(:page_name)       { 'Home' }
  trait(:page_url)        { '/dashboard' }
  trait(:page_locator)    { 'body.dashboard' }

  # Home page Section Objects
  section :search_form, SearchForm
end

Once your Page Object has been instantiated, you can call its PageSection methods as shown below:

home_page.search_form.search_for('ocarina')

Instantiating your Page Objects

Before you can call the methods in your Page Objects and PageSection Objects, you must instantiate the Page Objects of your web application, as well as create instance variables which can be used when calling a Page Objects methods from your step definitions. There are several ways to instantiate your Page Objects.

One common implementation is shown below:

module WorldPages
  def 
    @login_page ||= LoginPage.new
  end

  def home_page
    @home_page ||= HomePage.new
  end

  def registration_page
    @registration_page ||= RegistrationPage.new
  end
end

World(WorldPages)

The WorldPages module above can be defined in your env.rb file, or you can define it in a separate world_pages.rb file in the features/support folder.

While this approach is effective for small web applications with only a few pages (and hence few Page Objects), it quickly becomes cumbersome to manage if your web application has dozens of Page Objects that need to be instantiated and managed.

Using the PageManager

The PageManager class provides methods for supporting the instantiation and management of Page Objects. In the code example below, the page_objects method contains a hash table of your Page Object instances and their associated Page Object class names to be instantiated by PageManager:

module WorldPages
  def page_objects
    { :login_page                => LoginPage,
      :home_page                 => HomePage,
      :registration_page         => RegistrationPage,
      :search_results_page       => SearchResultsPage,
      :products_grid_page        => ProductsCollectionPage,
      :product_detail_page       => ProductDetailPage,
      :shopping_basket_page      => ShoppingBasketPage,
      :payment_method_page       => PaymentMethodPage,
      :confirm_purchase_page     => PurchaseConfirmationPage,
      :my_account_page           => MyAccountPage,
      :my_order_history_page     => MyOrderHistoryPage,
      :my_ship_to_addresses_page => MyShipToAddressesPage
    }
  end
end

World(WorldPages)

The WorldPages module above should be defined in the world_pages.rb file in the features/support folder.

Include the code below in your env.rb file to ensure that your Page Objects are instantiated before your Cucumber scenarios are executed:

include WorldPages
WorldPages.instantiate_page_objects

NOTE: If you intend to use the PageManager, you must define a page_name trait for each of the Page Objects to be registered.

Leveraging the PageManager from Cucumber

Scenario Outline:  Verify Home page navigation links
  Given I am on the Home page
  When I click the <page> navigation link
  Then I expect the <page> page to be correctly displayed

  Examples:
    |page                    |
    |Registration            |
    |My Account              |
    |Terms & Conditions      |
    |Privacy Policy          |
    |FAQs                    |
    |Refunds & Cancellations |
    |Contact US              |

Include the step definitions and code below in a page_steps.rb or generic_steps.rb file in the features/step_definitions folder:

include TestCentricity

Given(/^I am on the ([^\"]*) page$/) do |page_name|
  target_page = page_dispatcher(page_name)
  target_page.load_page if target_page
  PageManager.set_current_page(target_page)
end

When(/^I click the ([^\"]*) navigation link$/) do |link_name|
  target_page = page_dispatcher(link_name)
  target_page.navigate_to if target_page
end

Then(/^I expect to see the ([^\"]*) page$/) do |page_name|
  target_page = page_dispatcher(page_name)
  target_page.verify_page_exists if target_page
  PageManager.set_current_page(target_page)
end

Then(/^I expect the ([^\"]*) page to be correctly displayed$/) do |page_name|
  target_page = page_dispatcher(page_name)
  target_page.verify_page_exists
  target_page.verify_page_ui
  PageManager.set_current_page(target_page)
end


# this method takes a page name as a parameter and returns an instance of the associated Page Object
def page_dispatcher(page_name)
  page = PageManager.find_page(page_name)
  raise "No page object defined for page named '#{page_name}'" unless page
  page
end

Connecting to a Web Browser

The TestCentricity::WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver method configures the appropriate selenium-webdriver capabilities required to establish a connection with a target web browser, and sets the base host URL of the web site you are running your tests against.

The TestCentricity::WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver method accepts a single optional parameter - the base host URL. Cucumber Environment Variables are used to specify the target local or remote web browser, and the various webdriver capability parameters required to configure the connection.

Locally hosted desktop web browser

For locally hosted desktop web browsers running on macOS (OS X) or Windows platforms, the WEB_BROWSER Environment Variable must be set to one of the values from the table below:

WEB_BROWSER Desktop Platform
firefox macOS (OS X) or Windows
chrome macOS (OS X) or Windows
safari macOS (OS X) only
ie Windows only
poltergeist macOS (OS X) or Windows

To set the size of a desktop browser window, you set the BROWSER_SIZE Environment Variable to the desired width and height in pixels as shown below:

BROWSER_SIZE=1600,1000

To maximize a desktop browser window, you set the BROWSER_SIZE Environment Variable to 'max' as shown below:

BROWSER_SIZE=max

Locally hosted emulated mobile web browser

You can run your tests against mobile device browsers that are emulated within a locally hosted instance of a Firefox or Chrome desktop browser on OS X or Windows. The specified mobile browser's user agent, CSS screen dimensions, and default screen orientation will be automatically set within the local Firefox or Chrome browser instance. You may even specify the emulated device's screen orientation. For locally hosted emulated mobile web browsers, the WEB_BROWSER Environment Variable must be set to one of the values from the table below:

WEB_BROWSER HOST_BROWSER CSS Screen Dimensions Default Orientation OS Version

To change the emulated device's screen orientation from the default setting, set the ORIENTATION Environment Variable to either portrait or landscape.

To use a local instance of the Chrome desktop browser to host the emulated mobile web browser, you must set the HOST_BROWSER Environment Variable to chrome.

Mobile Safari browser on iOS Simulators

You can run your mobile web tests against the mobile Safari browser on simulated iOS devices using Appium and XCode on OS X. You must install XCode, the iOS version-specific device simulators for XCode, and Appium. You must ensure that the appium_capybara gem is installed and required as described in section 2.4 (Setup - Using Appium) above.

Appium must be running prior to invoking Cucumber to run your features/scenarios.

Once your test environment is properly configured, the following Environment Variables must be set as described in the table below.

Using Browser specific Profiles in cucumber.yml

While you can set Environment Variables in the command line when invoking Cucumber, a preferred method of specifying and managing target web browsers is to create browser specific Profiles that set the appropriate Environment Variables for each target browser in your cucumber.yml file.

Below is a list of Cucumber Profiles for supported locally and remotely hosted desktop and mobile web browsers (put these in in your cucumber.yml file). Before you can use the BrowserStack, CrossBrowserTesting, Sauce Labs, or TestingBot services, you will need to replace the placeholder text with your user account and authorization code for the cloud service(s) that you intend to connect with.

<% desktop          = "--tags ~@wip --tags ~@failing --tags @desktop --require features BROWSER_SIZE=1600,1000" %>
<% mobile           = "--tags ~@wip --tags ~@failing --tags @mobile  --require features" %>

To specify a locally hosted target browser using a profile at runtime, you use the flag --profile or -p followed by the profile name when invoking Cucumber in the command line. For instance, the following command invokes Cucumber and specifies that a local instance of Chrome will be used as the target web browser:

$ cucumber -p chrome

The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a local instance of Firefox, which will be used to emulate an iPad Pro in landscape orientation:

$ cucumber -p ipad_pro -p landscape

The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against an iPad Pro with iOS version 9.3 in an XCode Simulator in landscape orientation:

$ cucumber -p ipad_pro_93_sim -p landscape

NOTE:  Appium must me running prior to executing this command

The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a remotely hosted Safari web browser running on an OS X Yosemite virtual machine on the BrowserStack service:

cucumber -p bs_safari_yos

The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a remotely hosted Mobile Safari web browser on an iPhone 6s Plus in landscape orientation running on the BrowserStack service:

$ cucumber -p bs_iphone6_plus -p landscape
