Cloud‐Based Execution for Scalable Automation - Nytrotype/Selenium-with-Java-automation-work GitHub Wiki

Cloud-based execution platforms like Sauce Labs and LambdaTest enable parallel test execution, cross-browser testing, and scalability without requiring local infrastructure. These tools integrate seamlessly with Selenium-based automation frameworks, improving test coverage and reliability.

✅ Scalability – Run tests in parallel across multiple environments.
✅ Cross-Browser Compatibility – Validate functionality across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari.
✅ Infrastructure-Free Execution – No need to maintain local test environments.
✅ Real Device Testing – Supports testing on mobile and desktop browsers.
✅ Integration with CI/CD Pipelines – Works with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions.

1. Create an account at Sauce Labs.
2. Retrieve Access Key & Username from your Sauce Labs dashboard.
3. Install Sauce Labs dependencies if using Maven:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.saucelabs</groupId>
       <artifactId>sauce-java-client</artifactId>
       <version>4.x.x</version>
   </dependency>

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import java.net.URL;

public class SauceLabsTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String sauceUrl = "https://YOUR_USERNAME:[email protected]:443/wd/hub";

        DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
        caps.setCapability("browserName", "chrome");
        caps.setCapability("platform", "Windows 10");
        caps.setCapability("version", "latest");

        WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(sauceUrl), caps);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}

✅ Add a CI/CD trigger in Jenkins or Azure DevOps.
✅ Configure test parallelization for faster execution.
✅ Enable video recording for debugging failed test cases.

1. Sign up at LambdaTest.
2. Access LambdaTest API credentials from your dashboard.
3. Install LambdaTest Java dependencies:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.lambdatest</groupId>
       <artifactId>lambdatest-java-client</artifactId>
       <version>4.x.x</version>
   </dependency>

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import java.net.URL;

public class LambdaTestExecution {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String lambdaUrl = "https://USERNAME:[email protected]/wd/hub";

        DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
        caps.setCapability("browserName", "edge");
        caps.setCapability("platform", "macOS Monterey");
        caps.setCapability("version", "latest");

        WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(lambdaUrl), caps);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}

✅ Run mobile and desktop browser tests across different OS platforms.
✅ Leverage network throttling for real-world performance simulation.
✅ Enable AI-driven analytics for flaky test detection.

🔹 Use Parallel Execution – Reduce execution time across multiple browsers.
🔹 Enable CI/CD Integration – Automate tests in GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins.
🔹 Leverage Analytics & Video Recordings – Debug failures efficiently.
🔹 Optimize Test Data – Utilize cloud storage for dynamic datasets.
🔹 Consider Cost vs. Performance – Select cloud resources based on test complexity.

Cloud-based execution with Sauce Labs & LambdaTest offers scalability, performance, and multi-platform validation. Integrating these tools within CI/CD pipelines enhances automation efficiency and ensures robust testing across environments.
