Integration Testing with Java, Selenium, and Katalon Recorder

Introduction

Integration testing is a crucial phase in the software development life cycle that ensures the different components of a system work seamlessly together. In this project, integration testing is performed using Java, Maven, Selenium, and Katalon Recorder to verify the functionality of the web application.

Tools and Technologies Used

Selenium: A powerful framework for web application testing that automates browser actions.
Katalon Recorder: A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that facilitates automated testing through record and playback features.

Setup

1. Maven Project Configuration

The pom.xml file should includes the necessary dependencies for Selenium and any other required libraries.

<!-- Example dependencies for Selenium and WebDriver -->
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>${selenium-java-version}</version>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

2. Selenium WebDriver Setup

Download and configure the appropriate WebDriver for your browser. In this case, we are using ChromeDriver for Google Chrome.

Steps:

Download ChromeDriver:
- Visit the ChromeDriver downloads page.
- Download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver that matches your Chrome browser version.
- Extract the downloaded zip file to a location on your machine.

Set System Property in Your Test Code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver.exe");

Create WebDriver Instance:*
```
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
```

3. Katalon Recorder Installation

Install the Katalon Recorder extension in your Chrome browser. This will be used for recording and generating test scripts.

Steps:

Open Chrome Browser:
- Launch your Google Chrome browser.
Go to Chrome Web Store:
- Visit the Chrome Web Store.
Search for Katalon Recorder:
- In the search bar, type “Katalon Recorder.”
Install the Extension:
- Find the Katalon Recorder extension in the search results.
- Click on “Add to Chrome” to install the extension.
Confirm Installation:
- Confirm the installation by clicking “Add Extension” in the confirmation dialog.
Access Katalon Recorder:
- Once installed, you can access Katalon Recorder by clicking on the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar. This is an example of a recording test generated by Katalon
