In this video we are going to add password encoding capabilities to our framework, in order to hide our exposed passwords from the framework's files.

Attached to this video there's a Powershell script with which you can encode your password in Base64, in order to prevent using online tools that may save your requests and expose your passwords.

Adding Test Cases in Junit - Part 1 Preview 17:04

In this video we are taking the tests from the Main method into our new Junit class. The source code will be attached to the last video from this miniseries.

Adding Test Cases in Junit - Part 2 Preview 07:53

Assertions in Junit Preview 07:33

The best way to compare two objects together in unit tests is through Assertions. In this video, you can see how to use them and what you can do with this powerful feature in Junit.

Bonus: AssertThat() Explained Preview 04:52

This is a video on Matchers and how to use them in the context of AssertThat() methods in Junit. This feature is quite useful for creating custom, flexible assertions in your unit tests.

Using Parameterized Tests in Junit Preview 17:24

Parameterized Tests are test methods that take dynamic arguments directly from a data structure, defined with @Parameterized annotation in your Junit class. This feature is useful whenever you have a test that needs to be run with different values.

Instead of duplicating the test case for each set of parameters, you can use this feature and have your test created only once, but executed for each set of parameters.

JUnit vs TestNG -Which one to pick? Preview 08:34

In this video, we are going to learn the differences between the two unit tests libraries.

Capturing Screenshots with Selenium Webdriver Preview 15:09

In this video, we are going to learn how to take screenshots using Selenium Webdriver, so that we can troubleshoot easier whenever a step fails.

Adding SpingFramework Support Preview 15:35

In order to start writing our first BDD test cases, we would need SpringFramework in order to delegate some of the tasks of creating, managing or cleaning some objects. Join me to see how we can add it to our automation framework.

Adding BDD Tests with Cucumber - Part 1 Preview 19:23

In this video, we start to add the BDD tests using Cucumber, finalizing SpringFramework integration too.

Adding BDD Tests with Cucumber - Part 2 Preview 08:13

This is the second part of the section for adding BDD tests using Cucumber. The source code containing all BDD tests that were added so far, has been attached to this video.

Adding Reporting Capabilities Using ExtentReports Preview 18:35

Reporting your test results is an essential part in automation testing. In this video, we see how to add ExtentReports library for reporting purposes, in our automation script.

Adding Logging Capabilities Using Log4j Preview 12:14

Logs are important for troubleshooting issues that may appear in your automation scripts. In this video, we are learning how to add logging capability using Log4j library.

Adding Full Logging Capabilities Assignment Preview 00:27

This is an assignment, not an article :).

Adding the Code to GIT Preview 20:51

In this video, we are uploading the code of the framework to GIT. GIT is a source control software that manages changes done by teams of developers, on the same software source.

We are using GIT Bash for this demonstration, however you can install any software, if you prefer a more visual approach rather than the command line interface.

A comprehensive guide on the most used git commands can be found here: https://education.github.com/git-cheat-sheet-education.pdf.

Launching Our Own GitLab Runner for Executing the Pipelines Preview 09:17

In this video, we are launching our own gitlab runner instance on our computer, which is the first step in developing the pipeline for our automation framework.

Running Tests in a GitLab Pipeline Preview 19:34

In this video, we are expanding the concepts of CI/CD in testing and we are defining our own pipeline in GitLab. In our pipeline, we are going to run the tests automatically, whenever a new push is performed into our master branch. This is helpful, so that we know that the existing tests are not failing due to a potential error in the newly-pushed code.

As a bonus, we are leveraging the GitLab Pages functionality, where we are going to upload our test report.

Running Tests in Parallel Using Selenium Grid Preview 25:43

In this video we are exploring ways how to run tests in parallel.  The best article that describes the option for cucumber is right in the official documentation of Cucumber:

https://cucumber.io/docs/guides/parallel-execution/

In the video, we are using TestNG to run the tests, using the functionality of Selenium Grid to launch multiple Chromedrivers in parallel.

Running the Automated Tests Using Docker Containers in AWS Cloud Preview 08:20

In this video, we are running our automated test suit using a docker container running selenium, on a AWS Cloud machine.

Below you can find some useful links for replicating the setup on your resources:

Official documentation for Docker Installation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Selenium github page, explaining how to instantiate the docker container running Selenium Standalone: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium

For this demonstration, a VM has been created in Amazon EC2 free tier. For more information on how to get a machine running on the same tier, please follow this link: https://aws.amazon.com/free/?all-free-tier.sort-by=item.additionalFields.SortRank&all-free-tier.sort-order=asc.

Introduction to API Testing Preview 03:09

In this video, we define the concepts that we are going to use throughout this bonus section.

Introduction to HTTP Preview 04:41

In this video we learn what HTTP is and why it is relevant to know its concepts for an automation tester.

Analyzing HTTP Requests in the Browser Preview 12:22

Here we see how we can retrieve the list of HTTP requests when visiting a website, directly from your browser.

Working with Postman Preview 12:37

Postman is a useful tool for performing HTTP requests. This video shows you how to login in the Online Store web application used in the previous section.

Types of API's Preview 04:11

In this video, we learn the differences between the various types of API's and how to approach each of them when it comes to automation testing.

Introduction to Swagger and API Documentation Preview 07:17

This video shows how the API under test looks like through Swagger documentation.

Automating REST Calls Using RestAssured Preview 30:16

This video introduces the RestAssured library, used to automate REST API's.

Automating API Calls Using Core Java Preview 16:53

You can achieve the same result without using a specialized API library, like RestAssured, through plain old Java objects. In this video, we are going to use HTTPUrlConnection object, which is part of standard Java API, for calling an API.
