What is ?

Basically, this report of your scenarios/features:

 

Project Structure

+ src
   + main
      + java
         + com.mycompany.pages
            - HomePage.java   

   + test
      + java
         + com.mycompany.pages

            - SearchByKeywordStoryTest.java 

      + stories

Starting

If you have maven installed, go to the terminal or IDE and:

– Create a new project:

mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=thucydides

– Open your settings.xml and write:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
   <pluginGroups>
       <pluginGroup>net.thucydides.maven.plugins</pluginGroup>
  </pluginGroups>
</settings>

– In the pom.xml file, update the default JUnit dependency to at least 4.11

– Add a dependency to hamcrest-all and thucydides-junit. Thucydides uses SLF4J for its logging, so add an SLF4J implementation (e.g. slf4j-simple) as well.

– If you are not using Maven 3, make sure you configure the Maven compiler plugin to use Java 5.

– Finally, add the thucydides-maven-plugin, which provides the Thucydides reporting services. The resulting pom.xml file should look something like this:

  <groupId>com.wakaleo.webtests.wikipedia</groupId>
  <artifactId>wikipediawebtests</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>wikipediawebtests</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <thucydides.version>0.9.228</thucydides.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.11</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hamcrest</groupId>
            <artifactId>hamcrest-all</artifactId>
            <version>1.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>net.thucydides</groupId>
            <artifactId>thucydides-junit</artifactId>
            <version>${thucydides.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.1</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3.2</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.5</source>
                    <target>1.5</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>net.thucydides.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-thucydides-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${thucydides.version}</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>                      

 

– Run this command to be sure that everything it is running correctly: mvn package

– Create a new class contains the list of “features” that make up the application, and stories related to each feature. These stories are not the tests themselves – rather they are used to model the application requirements.

– Writing your first test:

public class Application {
	    @Feature
	    public class Search {
	        public class SearchByKeyword {}
	        public class SearchByAnimalRelatedKeyword {}
	        public class SearchByFoodRelatedKeyword {}
	        public class SearchByMultipleKeywords {}
	        public class SearchForQuote{}
	    }

	    @Feature
	    public class Backend {
	        public class ProcessSales {}
	        public class ProcessSubscriptions {}
	    }

	    @Feature
	    public class Contribute {
	        public class AddNewArticle {}
	        public class EditExistingArticle {}
	    }
	}

 

– Create a new test class in a package of your choice calledSearchByKeywordStoryTest.java

@Story(SearchBySingleKeyword.class)
@RunWith(ThucydidesRunner.class)
public class SearchByKeywordStoryTest {

    @Managed(uniqueSession = true)
    public WebDriver webdriver;

    @ManagedPages(defaultUrl = "http://www.wikipedia.com")
    public Pages pages;

    @Steps
    public EndUserSteps endUser;

    @Test
    public void should_display_article_about_cats() {
        endUser.is_on_the_wikipedia_home_page();
        endUser.searches_by_keyword("cats");
        endUser.should_see_article_with_title("Cat - Wikipedia, the free
 encyclopedia");

 

PS: @Managed and  @ManagedPages are required to take care of our page objects.

 

– Create a step library called EndUserSteps:

public class EndUserSteps extends ScenarioSteps {

    public EndUserSteps(Pages pages) {
	super(pages);
    }

    @Step
    public void searches_by_keyword(String keyword) {
        enters(keyword);
        performs_search();
    }

    @Step
    public void enters(String keyword) {
    }

    @Step
    public void performs_search() {
    }

    @Step
    public void should_see_article_with_title(String title) {
    }

    @Step
    public void is_on_the_wikipedia_home_page() {
    }
}

 

– You will need create your own classes inside of each Step.

– Run the command to generate your report: mvn verify thucydides:aggregate

– Your report will be in target/thucydides directory, open the home.html
