This is a .Net / Visual Studio project intended to get you up and running with Selenium WebDriver End-To-End (E2E) tests without the hassle of getting all the components working together.
It leverages SpecFlow, Ocaramba, and NUnit for easy Behavior Driven Development (BDD) testing, and Autofac for IoC / Dependency Injection.
This is intended for software developers who want to write automated E2E tests, as well as software testers who are interested in trying their hand at test automation.
At my work, I had to spin up a new integration test project that worked entirely within Visual Studio, and it took me much longer than I’d expected. That kind of setup could dissuade testers from testing, and I didn’t want that to happen.
For best results, I recommend the following VS plugins:
The easiest way to install this is to download the zipped up version and drop it in your existing repo.
If you want your integration tests to be its own repository, do the following:
git clone –depth 1 https://github.com/matneyx/SpecFlowOcarambaBoilerplate.git <YourRepoName>
Then delete the .git folder within the new SpecFlowOcarambaBoilerplate
folder.
Once you’ve done that, rename all instances of SpecFlowOcarambaBoilerplate with whatever you’ve named your repo (I’d just do a Find and Replace inside Visual Studio Code), as well as renaming the folder and solution / project. Test to make sure the demo test runs, and make corrections where necessary.
Finally, git init and link the new remote to wherever you want it.
Build the project. You may have to do some nuget finagling for it to build, but everything is available in the default nuget source.
Open your Test Explorer and you should see the ICanSearchForThings test. Run that – it should open a new window, go to Google, search for Wikipedia, and then close.
If all of that works, you’re ready to build your first test.
