2 - Base Tests

This class will be responsible to configure the webdriver. It will inform what happens before and after the test execution, configuring the webDriver, maximizing the window, getting the initial page, instantiating a 'PROTECTED' HomePage object. This object will be re-used in the test classes

• Create the Base package and the BaseTests Class inside
  • Package here
  • Class here

Page objects

Page Object model is an object design pattern in Selenium, where web pages are represented as classes, and the various elements on the page are defined as variables on the class. All possible user interactions can then be implemented as methods on the class

3 - Home Page

This class is the first page that you can see in the application. From this page, you can go to the other ones. You don't need to create the link to all the pages, only for the ones that you will use in the test.

• Create the Pages package and the HomePage Class inside

  • Package here
  • Class here

• Update the HomePage by adding the actions to go to other pages

  • Class here

4 - Login Page

This class can be accessed from the home page. You will provide the credentials and log in to the system, going to a 3rd page that contains the assertion.

• Create the LoginPage Class inside the pages package
  • Class here

5 - Secure Area Page

This class is shown to the user when the credentials are provided and the system gets accessible.

• Create the SecureAreaPage Class inside the pages package
  • Class here

Tests

This class contains the import of testNG and assertEquals to run the test and assert it. The class should extend BaseTests to receive all the attributes or methods from the father class.

• Create the LoginTests class inside the Tests>Java package
