My Testing Thoughts

While submitting a form, at times, we get a use case where we need to first clear the default/pre-filled values of all the fields in the form and then enter our desired value. Usually, we do this for every field: WebElement firstName = driver.findElement(By.id("Form_submitForm_FullName")); email.clear(); email.sendKeys("Dheeraj"); Here we are locating an element, and assigning it to a WebElement.

You can use any approach that works best for you. Here is the working example: public class Form { W

When we create an automation test framework, most of us use properties files to get any configuration like URL, credentials, or whatever data you need to change frequently as a configuration.   In this blog, we will discuss how we can easily manage properties files with the Owner Java library makes properties file management very easy, and minimize the code required to handle application configuration through Java properties files. If you are using Maven, things are quite simple, just add the following section to your pom.xml: <dependencies> <dependency>     <groupId>org.aeonbits.owner</groupId>     <artifactId>owner</artifactId>     <version> 1.0.12 </version> </dependency> </dependencies>   Note * At the time of writing this page, the latest version is 1.0.12, but you need to check if there is any newer version here: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.aeonbits.owner/owner   Suppose your properties file is defined as Conf
