Automation Frameworks

Script actions as well as data are maintained outside of the automation script. Enables documentation of functionality in a tabular format.
Test Scripts are represented as step by step instructions (similar to Manual test cases).

Open source tool for Functional testing of
web applications.
Supports multiple scripting languages like Java,
C#, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, etc
Supports playback on multiple browsers - IE, FF, Chrome, Safari.
Supports multiple operating systems - Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Android*, iPhone* (* Selenium 2.0 and higher)
Fast growing user community.

Fitnesse is a lightweight, open-source framework for automated testing.
It helps to collaboratively define and organize acceptance / functional tests
It works as a Wiki to easily create and edit Scripts and documentation.
FitNesse

Fitnesse Fixtures are the bridges between the tables and the AUT. Fixtures process the table commands and drive the AUT. They capture the
results and send them back to FitNesse.
FitNesse Table:
Fixture Code:public class Division {
private double numerator, denominator;public void setNumerator(double numerator) {this.numerator = numerator;}public void setDenominator(double denominator} {this.denominator = denominator;}public double quotient() {return numerator/denominator;}
}
public class Division {private double numerator, denominator;public void setNumerator(double numerator) {this.numerator = numerator;}public void setDenominator(double denominator} {this.denominator = denominator;}public double quotient() {return numerator/denominator;}
}
Eg. Division
Numerator denominator quotient?

Developed by Marisa Seal, Dawn Cannan and Chris McMahon.
It is a Fitnesse Fixture that connects to Selenium which connects to the actual AUT (Web project).

Note: All Verify methods in Selenium can be accessed as is* methods.
e.g. ‘verifyTextPresent’ becomes ‘isTextPresent’, ‘verifyElementPresent’ becomes ‘isElementPresent’

Pros Cons
Provides Test Management in a browser. Test assets can be shared on demand.
Programming constructs like loops cannot be used in FitNesse. (can write fixtures / methods in SeleNesse to achieve the same result)
Inherent documentation in Wiki Pages.
Not tested for Huge projects with tens of thousands of test cases.
Scripts can be shared for Manual & Automation tests
Requires 2 servers to be running for FitNesse and Selenium.
Importing from spreadsheet is possible
No commercial support. Have to depend on community for support.
Customizable and Extensible FitNesse syntax / format needs to be learnt.
Hides complexity of code from end users
Quick and Easy Setup
Good fit for Agile Teams.

We can create a custom method to the Selenesse JAR file. This method can then be called directly from Fitnesse tables.
public boolean verifyComboItemPresent (String selectLocator, String value) {boolean elementFound = seleniumInstance.isElementPresent(selectLocator);
if (elementFound) {String[] retrievedOptions = seleniumInstance.getSelectOptions(selectLocator);for (int i=0; i<retrievedOptions.length; i++) {
if (retrievedOptions[i].equals(value)) {return true;
}}System.out.println("The requested item '"+value+"' was not found in the Combo box");return false;
}System.out.println("The Combo box was not found on the page");return false;
}
public boolean verifyComboItemPresent (String selectLocator, String value) {boolean elementFound = seleniumInstance.isElementPresent(selectLocator);

Order of method execution
The order of method execution is as follows:
1. Find method on fixture, if present execute2. Find method on SystemUnderTest, if present execute3. Find method on installed Library in reversed order of creation. So last one created takes precedence over the ones created earlier.
More on Fixtures…
SYSTEM UNDER TEST
Using SystemUnderTest allows you to let SliM directly invoke a method on your SystemUnderTest without having to create a method in a SliM fixture for it. Currently only available in Java.
