Web Automation Challenges 🚀

A comprehensive Selenium WebDriver automation framework implementing 5 web automation challenges using Java, TestNG, and modern automation practices.

🎯 Overview

This project demonstrates Selenium WebDriver automation through real-world challenges. Development follows a two-phase approach:

1. Phase 1: Single-file solutions (Challenge_1.java, Challenge_2.java, etc.)
2. Phase 2: Refactored into structured framework with POM pattern

🛠 Technologies Used

• Java 8+ | Selenium WebDriver | TestNG | Maven
• AssertJ | Allure Reports | Page Object Model
• Thread Local | Apache POI | SonarLint

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Java 8+ | Maven 3.6+ | Chrome/Firefox browsers

Installation

git clone <your-repository-url>
cd Web_Automation-Challenges
mvn clean install

🏃‍♂️ Running Tests

Single-File Solutions (Phase 1)

mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Challenge_1"
mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Challenge_2"
mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Challenge_3"
mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="Challenge_4"

Framework Tests (Phase 2)

mvn test -Dtest=TableColumnSumTest_Challenge1      # Challenge 1
mvn test -Dtest=WebTablesTest_Challenge2           # Challenge 2
mvn test -Dtest=content_of_theModel_Challenge3     # Challenge 3
mvn test -Dtest=ParallelExecute_Challenge4         # Challenge 4

Run All Tests

mvn clean test                    # All framework tests
mvn test -DparallelMode=methods   # Parallel execution

📊 Reports

mvn allure:report    # Generate Allure report
mvn allure:serve     # Serve Allure report

🔄 Development Approach

Why Two-Phase Implementation?

• ✅ Rapid Prototyping: Quick solution validation
• ✅ Learning Focus: Understand each challenge thoroughly
• ✅ Iterative Enhancement: Gradual improvement to framework
• ✅ Best Practices: Final implementation with proper architecture

Framework Features

• Thread Safety: ThreadLocal WebDriver instances
• Page Object Model: Structured, maintainable code
• Data-Driven: Excel/Properties integration
• Reporting: Allure reports with screenshots
• Parallel Execution: Multi-browser support

🔧 Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
WebDriver not found	Check WebDriverManager configuration
Element not found	Verify wait strategies and locators
Single-file execution	Ensure dependencies in classpath
Parallel execution	Check ThreadLocal implementation
