Protractor : How to implement XMLreports in protractor

In the post on how to automate web application using protractor we see that we ran the application and it just print test result at terminal window.

Here we see how we can implement Jasmine reporters. We will use xml reports.

In this post we will use our sample projects that was built in our previous post.

Step 1 : Open the project.

Step 2 :  Open Terminal window and install jasmine-reporters package using the following command.

npm install jasmine-reporters

 

It installs two packages jasmine-reporters@2.1.1 and  mkdirp@0.3.5.

Step 3 : Now open config.js file and write the following script in onPrepare() function,

Here,

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(): It create report after executing the script.

JUnitXmlReporter() : It generate XML report.

consolidateAll : Aggregate all the results. 

savePath: Report folder where report is generated. Use can define his own path.
filePrefix: Generated file name.

Step 4 : Now config.js file will look like the following,

Step 5 : Now open terminal window and run selenium server.

 

Step 6 : Open another terminal window and run the script.

Step 7 : Note that script executes and report file is created at ‘testreport’ folder.

Now double click  to open the XML report and see the result. You can also open it through a browser.

That’s all for now.

In the next post we will see how we can generate HTML report.

Happy end to end testing using Protractor!!!

Robotium : How to automate an Android Application using Record and playback approach

In our last post we see how to install Robotium on our Eclipse IDE. In this post we will explain on how to record an android application and playback the script.

Step 1 : Open Eclipse IDE. Before started recording we need to run the Android virtual device. Click on the Android Virtual device icon.

AVD manager window is displayed and start a device that is already configured. How to configure a Virtual device will be posted later in separate post. Select a device and click on Start button.

Launch Options window is displayed and click on Launch button.

Virtual device will start for Launching.

Now minimize the virtual device window, close AVD window and proceed for Robotium recording.

Step 2 : Go to File > New > Other

Step 3 : Click on Android – Robotium Recorder from New Window. Select New Robotium Test.

Step 4 : Click on Next button.

 

Step 5 : A pop up dialog is displayed with the message “Please Select the root Java JDK folder”. This message is only displayed if JDK folder is not defined and configured. Click on OK button.

Step 6 : Java JDK window is displayed. Locate the JDK folder on the machine. Click Ok button.

Step 7 : Robotium Recorder window is displayed and select the apk file. In our case we have downloaded android calculator apk file from this location. Select the apk file and enter the project name. Click on Next button.

Step 8 : Click on New Robotium Test button.

 

Step 9 : Recording Started. Wait for the application starts at Virtual device.

Step 10 : Go to Virtual device window and note that application will start on that window.

Step 11 : Enter 4 at First text box

Step 12 : Click on the second text box and enter 5 at second text box

Step 13 : Click on Multiply button.

Step 14 : Result will be displayed at Result text box.

Step 15 : In order to verify the result click on the Result text box. It will create an assert script.

 

Step 16 : Note that steps are written at plain text and click on Stop recording button.

A window may appear and click on OK button.

 

Step 17 : Click on Save button

Step 18 : A window is displayed to ask for Test Case name. Enter Test Case name as “Multiplication” and click on OK button.

Step 19 : Click on Finish button.

Step 20 : Code will be generated for this script at Eclipse editor. Expand the project of the package explorer window.

Step 21 : Double click on the class name “Multiplication.java”. We see the step by step script on the code. We will explain about code on future post.

 

Step 22 : Now Run the script. Right click on the Script name and click Run as > Android JUnit test.

Step 23 : Go to Virtual device window and inspect that script will run and execute test.

Step 24 : Result is displayed at JUnit Editor.

That’s all for now. Our next Robotium related post, we will show on how to refactor the Robotium script and write more manageable test.

Happy Automation day with Robotium …!!!

Robotium: How to install Robotium in eclipse IDE

Robotium is an interesting tool to automate the Android application. It is an android test automation framework that can record both native and hybrid android application. It is easy to write a powerful and robust automated UI test for Android application using Robotium.

Step 12 : Installation of Eclipse is complete. To verify the installation click on File > New > Other…

Step 13 : New window is displayed with other project list. Here “Android Robotium Recorder” is displayed and click on this folder we see “New Robotium Test” project. It means that Robotium for eclipse is installed successfully.

That’s all for now. In our next post we see on how to record an android application and run it using Robotium.

Happy Automation day with Robotium …!!!
