What is WSO2 Web Testing Framework


WSO2 Web Testing Framework is an automated test suite used for test following WSO2 products using Selenium web application testing system and Junit testing framework. Previously all the Quality Assurance was done by manually. But now with this automated test framework, all the products will be tested continuously.

1. WSO2 Data Services Server
2. WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus
3. WSO2 Gadget Server
4. WSO2 Identity Server
5. WSO2 Mashup Sever
6. WSO2 Governance Registry
7. WSO2 Web Services Application Server

 

Understanding the WSO2 Web Testing Framework

You may already have taken the svn check out from https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/branches/commons/qa/web-test-framework/
if not please take the svn check out. This will take some time and highly depend on the internet connection you have and network traffic. If you know what version you need, you can check out only the particular version and reduce your downloading time.
And you need a WSO2 product stated above to run tests against it. You may download the artifact from WSO2 Oxygen Tank download page, or from the builder machine.

 Folder Structure of WSO2 Web Testing Framework
  • The top root folders are the WSO2 released versions.(eg. 2.0.2, 2.0.3 release ).
  • Inside it has the product folders (eg. registry, wsas, mashup etc..)
  • Lib folder is the local folder to store product specific resources.(eg. To store WSDLs which will uploaded from the local file system in WSO2 Governance Registry)
  • Commons folder contains all the common resources in testing framework.

 How it works?

How test framework works

  • From runAll.sh file, runAll.rb file or POM.xml file apache maven will get invoked
  • Maven will start Selenium Maven Plugin which plays a main role in WSO2 web testing framework.
  • Seleneium Plugin is responsible to Start the Selenium server, Stop the Selenium server
  • JUnit sends commands(clicking on links, form fillings) to Selenium Server then gets the results asserts the results
  • Maven Surefire Plugin will create a report containing the total number of failures, errors etc..  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How the tests are written?

Test suites are recorded from Selenium IDE. Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests, It has a recorder, one can record the tests, save and rerun the tests again and again. But WSO2 web testing framework does not use raw test suites generated from selenium IDE. Usually common functions are created in test suites, then those functions will be called inside the tests. So high re-usability is achieved. Since common functions are used high maintainability is there, with the new releases there may be architectural changes, user interface changes. But those issues can be handled easily due to the flexible structure of the testing framework as mentioned above.   

How the tests are structured ?

 Test Structure of WSO2 web testing framework

'common' folder has all the common functions to perform tasks in whole test framework (creating a new user, log-in to the admin console etc). This folder is a svn external for all the products which means a mirror copy of web-testing-framework/commons/src/test/java/org/wso2/carbon/web/test/common folder.
