Automation Testing for Android Mobile Web Applications & Steps to setup environment

Purpose: Automation Testing for Android Mobile Web Applications & Steps to setup environment
Introduction:

Android WebDriver allows to run automated end-to-end tests that ensure your site works correctly when viewed from the Android browser. Android WebDriver supports all core WebDriver APIs, and in addition to that it supports mobile spacific and HTML5 APIs. Android WebDriver models many user interactions such as finger taps, flicks, finger scrolls and long presses. It can rotate the display and interact with HTML5 features such as local storage, session storage and application cache.

The current apk will only work with Gingerbread (2.3.x), Honeycomb (3.x), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x) and later.

• Note that there is an emulator bug on Gingerbread that might cause WebDriver to crash.

Install the Android SDK:

Download the Android SDK, and unpack it to ~/android_sdk/. NOTE: The location of the Android SDK must exist in ../android_sdk, relative to the directory containing the Selenium repository.

Android WebDriver test can run on emulators or real devices for phone and tablets.

Setup Emulator

To create an emulator, you can use the graphical interface provided by the Android SDK, or the command line. Below are instructions for using the command line.

First, let's create an Android Virtual Device (AVD):

$cd ~/android_sdk/tools/
$./android create avd -n my_android -t 12 -c 100M

-n: specifies the name of the AVD.
-t: specifies the platform target. For an exhaustive list of targets, run:

./android list targets

Make sure the target level you selected corresponds to a supported SDK platform.
-c: specifies the SD card storage space.
When prompted "Do you wish to create a custom hardware profile [no]" enter "no".

Now, start the emulator. This can take a while, but take a look at the FAQ below for tips on how to improve performance of the emulator.

$./emulator -avd my_android &

Setup the Device

Simply connect your Android device through USB to your machine.

Using the Remote Server

This approach has a client and a server component. The client consists of your typical Junit tests that you can run from your favorite IDE or through the command line. The server is an Android application that contains an HTTP server. When you run the tests, each WebDriver command will make a RESTful HTTP request to the server using JSON according to a well defined protocol. The remote server will delegate the request to Android WebDriver, and will then return a response.

Install the WebDriver APK

Every device or emulator has a serial ID. Run this command to get the serial ID of the device or emulator you want to use:

$~/android_sdk/platform-tools/adb devices

Download the Android server from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list. To install the application do:

$./adb -s <serialId> -e install -r  android-server.apk

Make sure you are allowing installation of application not coming from Android Market. Go to Settings -> Applications, and check "Unknown Sources".
Start the Android WebDriver application through the UI of the device or by running this command:

$./adb -s <serialId> shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.openqa.selenium.android.app/.MainActivity

Now we need to setup the port forwarding in order to forward traffic from the host machine to the emulator. In a terminal type:

$./adb -s <serialId> forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

This will make the android server available at http://localhost:8080/wd/hub from the host machine. You're now ready to run the tests. Let's take a look at some code.

Run the Tests

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver;
public class OneTest extends TestCase {
  public void testGoogle() throws Exception {
    WebDriver driver = new AndroidDriver();
   
    // And now use this to visit Google
    driver.get("http://www.google.com");
   
    // Find the text input element by its name
    WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
   
    // Enter something to search for
    element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
   
    // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
    element.submit();
   
    // Check the title of the page
    System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
    driver.quit();
  }
}

To compile and run this example you will need the selenium-java-X.zip (client side piece of selenium). Download the selenium-java-X.zip from our download page, unzip and include all jars in your IDE project. For Eclipse, right click on project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External Jars

Hope this will be useful for steup and test your application under Android.

Capturing all Links in a page, filtering and visiting filtered pages.

Purpose: Capturing all Links in a page, filtering and visiting filtered pages.


In general while testing any application we are facing a situation where we need to visit specific link available on the Web Page. The Following script help floks how to handle it.

In the following example, I am going to visit 'www.google.com', captures all the links available on the page, filter the required link and visit that link page.

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Links {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get("http://www.tata.com/");
  driver.manage().window().maximize();
//  Extract all links from the webpage using selenium webdriver
  List<WebElement> all_links_webpage = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));

//  Print total no of links on the webpage
  System.out.println("Print total no of links on the webpage---------------------------------------------");
  System.out.println(all_links_webpage.size());

//  Filter the Link and visit that link
  System.out.println("Print Links------------------------------------------------------------------------");
  for(int i=0;i<all_links_webpage.size();i++)
  {
   Thread.sleep(1000);
   if(all_links_webpage.get(i).getText().toLowerCase().contains("contact"))
   {
    System.out.println("Search Resutl found");
   String link = all_links_webpage.get(i).getAttribute("href");
   driver.navigate().to(link);
   Thread.sleep(3000);
   break;
   }
  }
 driver.quit();
 }
}

How to Run Webdriver Script under Internet Explorer and Google Chrome

Purpose: How to Run Webdriver Script for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome

Running Webdriver script for Internet Explorer & Chrome is not as same as working with Firefox browser. Following are the steps to Run:

Step 1: In order to run, we need to download IE Driver & Chrome Driver and we can download from https://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/detail?name=IEDriverServer_Win32_2.31.0.zip
https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

Step 2: Include the respective drivers in to the Path

Step 3: Set the System property using the following Command which takes two parameters Driver and location of the driver.

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "Drivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");

Step 4: Now create an Driver Object for IE using the following command

driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Once we start running the script Internet Explorer will open and execute script.

Following is the sample code for IE and kept commented code for Google Chrome

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class DriversExample{
private static InternetExplorerDriver driver;
//private static ChromeDriver driver;
@BeforeClass
 public void beforeClass()
 {
  System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "Drivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");
  driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
//  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
//  driver = new ChromeDriver();
  }
@Test
 public void testDrivers() throws Exception
 {
  driver.get("http://www.google.com");
  Thread.sleep(3000);
 }
@AfterClass
 public void afterClass()
 {
  driver.close();
 }
}

Capturing all Links on a Web Page and visiting those links using Web Driver

Purpose: Capturing all Links on a Web Page and visiting those links

In general while testing any application we are facing a situation where we need to visit each link available on the Web Page. The Following script help floks how to handle it.

In the following example, I am going to visit 'www.google.com', captures all the links available on the page, visiting each link and coming back to home page.

importjava.util.List;

importorg.openqa.selenium.By;

importorg.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

importorg.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

importorg.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Links {

private static String homeWindow = null;

private static String[] links = null;

private static int linksCount = 0;

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com/");

// Fllowing instruction extract all links from the webpage using selenium webdriver

List<WebElement> all_links_webpage = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));

// Print total no of links on the webpage

System.out.println("Print total no of links on the webpage----------------------------------------------------");

linksCount = all_links_webpage.size();
System.out.println(linksCount);

links= new String[linksCount];// Following instruction stores each link and Prints on console

System.out.println("Print Links-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------");

for(int i=0;i<linksCount;i++)

{

links[i] = all_links_webpage.get(i).getAttribute("href");

System.out.println(all_links_webpage.get(i).getAttribute("href"));

}

// Following instruction Return an opaque handle to this window that uniquely identifies it within this driver instance.

// This can be used to switch to this window at a later date

homeWindow = driver.getWindowHandle().toString();

// Visiting Each Link in on the Page

System.

out.println("Visiting Each Links------------------------------------------------------------------------");

for(int i=0;i<linksCount;i++)

{

driver.navigate().to(

links[i]);

Thread.sleep(3000);

driver.switchTo().window(

homeWindow);

}

driver.quit();

}

}
