BrowserStack Examples Specflow

Introduction

SpecFlow is an open source framework for Behavior Driven Development, Acceptance Test Driven Development and Specification by Example.

This BrowserStack Example repository demonstrates a Selenium test framework written in Cucumber and NUnit with parallel testing capabilities. The Selenium test scripts are written for the open source BrowserStack Demo web application (Github). This BrowserStack Demo App is an e-commerce web application which showcases multiple real-world user scenarios. The app is bundled with offers data, orders data and products data that contains everything you need to start using the app and run tests out-of-the-box.

About the tests in this repository

This repository contains the following #{ Selenium test} tests:

Module	Test name	Description
E2E	End to End Scenario	This test scenario verifies successful product purchase lifecycle end-to-end. It is executed in Parallel profile.
Login	Login with given username	This test verifies the login workflow with different types of valid login users.It is executed in Single profile.
Login	Login as Locked User	This test verifies the login workflow error for a locked user. It is executed in Single profile.
Offers	Offers for Mumbai location	This test mocks the GPS location for Mumbai and verifies that the product offers applicable for the Mumbai location are shown. It is executed in Local profile.
Product	Apply Apple Vendor Filter	This test verifies that the Apple products are only shown if the Apple vendor filter option is applied. It is executed in Local_Parallel profile.
Product	Apply Lowest to Highest Order By	This test verifies that the product prices are in ascending order when the product sort "Lowest to Highest" is applied. It is executed in Local_Parallel profile.
User	Login as User with no image loaded	This test verifies that the product images load for user: "image_not_loading_user" on the e-commerce application. Since the images do not load, the test case assertion fails. It is executed in Mobile profile.

BrowserStack

BrowserStack provides instant access to 2,000+ real mobile devices and browsers on a highly reliable cloud infrastructure that effortlessly scales as testing needs grow.

Prerequisites

• Create a new BrowserStack account or use an existing one.

• Identify your BrowserStack username and access key from the BrowserStack Automate Dashboard and export them as environment variables using the below commands.

  • For *nix based and Mac machines:

  export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> &&
  export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

  • For Windows:

  set BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username>
  set BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>

  Alternatively, you can also hardcode username and access_key objects in the browserstack.yml file.

Note:

• The exact test capability values can be easily identified using the Browserstack Capability Generator

Running Your Tests

In this section, we will run tests on Browserstack. To change test capabilities for this configuration, please refer to the platforms object in browserstack.yml file.

• How to run the test?

  To run a test scenario (e.g. Login Scenario) on your own machine, use the following command:

  .Net Core:

  dotnet test --filter Category=single
  

  To run a specific test scenario use the filter tagged to that feature file.

  dotnet test --filter Category=<Tag>
  

  where,the argument 'Tag' can be any profile configured with filters in feature files for this repository.

  E.g. "single", "e2e", "login", "user", "offers" and "product"

  ---

  To run all the tests, use the following command:

  .Net Core:

  dotnet test
  

  The number of prallels per platform can be configured by changing the value of parallelsPerPlatform property in the browserstack.yml file.

• Output

  This run profile executes a single test on a single browser on BrowserStack. Please refer to your BrowserStack dashboard for test results.
