Extensible Java Playwright Automation Framework

The purpose of this Framework is to serve as a functional demo and / or template to be used on other projects you might undertake and assist with training.

Description

The Playwright for Java project consists of the following elements and technologies:

• Playwright for Java
• Spring Boot
  • Why include SpringBoot in the Framework?
    • Helps with Dependency Injection between test steps
    • Easy environment management (via application.yml)
    • Simplifies the development process by utilizing annotations
    • Lets you create a standalone application that runs on its own; as an example this allows easier Dockerizing of the automation framework, should it be required.
• Cucumber
  • Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), Cucumber is an intuitive Way to Express Requirements in Human-Readable Form. Acts as a great starting point for test automation scenarios.
• JUnit 5
• tinylog
  • Simple lightweight static logger.
• AssertJ
  • What is not to like about fluent assertions?
• Project Lombok
  • Project Lombok is a library that helps you to write clear, concise, and less repetitive Java code. It makes up for some of the shortcomings within the core of Java that will most likely never be improved.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Playwright for Java
• Spring Boot
• Cucumber
• JUnit 5
• tinylog
• AssertJ
• Project Lombok

Installing

• Running a mvn clean package should be enough to get the project built and ready to use.

Executing program

• Right-click a feature file (src/main/resources) and select Run or Debug

FAQ

1. Why no test module or test resource directory?
   • This framework is typically testing a target system and not itself; typically a test module / resource folder is meant to be testing the project it belongs to.
