## About the Project
This repository contains step-by-step lessons for automating the [ZeroBank demo site](http://zero.webappsecurity.com) using **Selenium WebDriver**, **Cucumber**, and **TestNG**. It demonstrates common UI automation tasks such as logging in, adding payees and buying foreign currency. The examples follow the Page Object Model (POM) pattern and integrate data-driven testing with Apache POI.
## Key Benefits
- **Hands-On Practice** – Small scenarios focusing on essential automation concepts.
- **Behavior-Driven Development** – Feature files written in Gherkin provide clear, readable requirements.
- **Data-Driven** – Test data can be pulled from Excel files, and test results are logged back for tracking.
- **Rich Reporting** – Generates HTML, JSON, and ExtentReports output for easy analysis.
## Features
- **Login** – Validates login both with inline data and with credentials pulled from `ZeroBankData.xlsx`.
- **Add New Payee** – Demonstrates a data table with multiple payee inputs.
- **Purchase Foreign Currency** – Exercises the currency conversion workflow for several currencies.
- **Hooks and Utilities** – Capture screenshots on failure and record scenario results in Excel.
## Application Under Test
The lessons use the [ZeroBank demo application](http://zero.webappsecurity.com/login.html) to practice common banking tasks such as account login, paying bills and purchasing foreign currency.
## Reporting
- **Pretty Output** – All TestNG runners include the `pretty` plugin for clean console logs.
- **HTML/JSON Reports** – `TestRunnerSmokeWithHtmlAndJson` outputs HTML and JSON files in `target/reports`.
- **Extent Reports** – `TestRunnerExtentReport` creates a rich interactive report under `testReports/`.
- **Excel Logging** – `Hooks` writes scenario names, status and browser to `ScenarioResults.xlsx`.
## Installation
1. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone
```
2. **Install Java and Maven** – Java 21 and Maven must be available on your `PATH`.
3. **Download WebDriver binaries** for the browsers you wish to test (e.g. ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver) and ensure they are on the `PATH`.
## Configuration
- **extent.properties**
```properties
extent.reporter.spark.start=true
extent.reporter.spark.out=test-output/SparkReport/Spark.html
```
- Adjust browser selection in `DriverManager.java` if you want a different default.
## Usage
Run any of the runner classes with Maven:
```bash
mvn test -Dtest=TestRunnerAll
```
Other available runners: `TestRunnerSmoke`, `TestRunnerRegression`, `TestRunnerWithPlugin`, `TestRunnerSmokeWithHtmlAndJson`, and `TestRunnerExtentReport`.
## Parallel Testing
TestNG XML files (e.g. `ParallelTest.xml`) can be used for parallel execution. Right‑click the XML in your IDE and run it to start tests on multiple browsers.
## Folder Structure
```

├── pages/ # Page Object classes
├── runners/ # TestNG runner classes
├── stepDefinitions/ # Glue code for features
└── utilities/ # Driver and Excel helpers

└── extent.properties
```
Extent reports and HTML outputs are stored under `testReports/`, `target/`, or `test-output/`.
## Dependencies
Dependencies are declared in `pom.xml`, including Selenium, Cucumber, TestNG, Apache POI and ExtentReports.
