Project Overview – Purpose of Automation - Nytrotype/Selenium-with-Java-automation-work GitHub Wiki
Introduction
This project aims to automate functional and regression testing using Selenium with Java. By integrating automation, we enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in test execution, ensuring high-quality software delivery.
Why Automation?
Manual testing can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Implementing automation offers:
Faster Test Execution – Reduces testing cycles by automating repetitive tasks.
Improved Accuracy – Eliminates human errors and ensures consistent results.
Regression Testing Efficiency – Automates validation of new updates to prevent breakages.
Cost Optimization – Minimizes manual effort, allowing teams to focus on high-value testing.
Integration with CI/CD – Supports Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and other pipelines for continuous testing.
Key Objectives
✅ Automate functional, UI, and API tests for web applications.
✅ Implement Selenium WebDriver with Java for cross-browser testing.
✅ Utilize TestNG for structured test execution and reporting.
✅ Develop a scalable framework with the Page Object Model (POM) approach.
✅ Enable data-driven testing using Excel/CSV inputs for dynamic test cases.
✅ Integrate automation with GitHub Actions for continuous execution.
✅ Enhance log management using Log4j for debugging and reporting.
