TestCentricity™ Web
The TestCentricity™ Web core generic framework for desktop and mobile web site testing implements a Page Object and Data Object Model DSL for use with Cucumber, Capybara, and Selenium-Webdriver.
The TestCentricity™ Web gem supports running testing against the following web test targets:
- locally hosted desktop browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, or Edge)
- locally hosted emulated iOS, Android, and Windows Phone mobile browsers (using Firefox or Chrome)
- a "headless" browser (using Poltergeist and PhantomJS)
- cloud hosted desktop or mobile web browsers using the BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, CrossBrowserTesting, or TestingBot services.
Installation
Add this line to your automation project's Gemfile:
gem 'testcentricity_web'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install testcentricity_web
Setup
Using Cucumber
If you are using Cucumber, you need to require the following in your env.rb file:
require 'capybara'
require 'capybara/cucumber'
require 'testcentricity_web'
Using RSpec
If you are using RSpec instead, you need to require the following in your env.rb file:
require 'capybara'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'testcentricity_web'
Using Poltergeist
If you will be running your tests on a "headless" web browser using Poltergeist and PhantomJS, you must add this line to your automation project's Gemfile:
gem 'poltergeist'
Page Objects
The Page Object Model is a test automation pattern that aims to create an abstraction of your web app's User Interface that can be used in tests. A Page Object is an object that represents a single page in your AUT (Application Under Test). Page Objects encapsulate the implementation details of a web page and expose an API that supports interaction with, and validation of the UI elements on the page.
Page Objects makes it easier to maintain automated tests because changes to page UI elements are updated in only one location - in the Page Object class definition. By adopting a Page Object Model, Cucumber Feature files and step definitions are no longer required to hold specific information about a page's UI objects, thus minimizing maintenance requirements. If any element on a page changes (URL path, text field attributes, button captions, etc.), maintenance is performed in the Page Object class definition only, typically with no need to update the affected feature file, scenarios, or step definitions.
Defining a Page Object
Your Page Object class definitions should be contained within individual .rb
files in the features/support/pages
folder of your
test automation project. You define new Page Objects as shown below:
class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
end
class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
end
Adding Traits to your Page Object
Web pages typically have names and URLs associated with them. Web pages also typically have a unique object or attribute that, when present, indicates that the page's contents have fully loaded.
The page_name
trait is registered with the PageManager object, which includes a find_page
method that takes a page name as a
parameter and returns an instance of the associated Page Object.
A page_url
trait should be defined if a page can be directly loaded using a URL. If you set Capybara's app_host
, or specify a base URL
when calling the WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver
method, then your page_url
trait can be the relative URL slug that will
be appended to the base URL specified in app_host
. Specifying a page_url
trait is optional, as not all web pages can be directly loaded
via a URL.
A page_locator
trait is defined if a page has a unique object or attribute that exists once the page's contents have fully loaded. The
page_locator
trait is a CSS or Xpath expression that uniquely identifies the object or attribute. The verify_page_exists
method waits
for the page_locator
trait to exist.
You define your page's Traits as shown below:
class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
trait(:page_name) { 'Login' }
trait(:page_url) { '/sign_in' }
trait(:page_locator) { 'body.login-body' }
end
class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
trait(:page_name) { 'Home' }
trait(:page_url) { '/dashboard' }
trait(:page_locator) { 'body.dashboard' }
end
Adding UI Elements to your Page Object
UI Elements are added to your Page Object class definition as shown below:
class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
trait(:page_name) { 'Login' }
trait(:page_url) { '/sign_in' }
trait(:page_locator) { 'body.login-body' }
# Login page UI elements
textfield :user_id_field, '#userName'
textfield :password_field, '#password'
:login_button, '#login'
checkbox :remember_checkbox, '#rememberUser'
label :error_message_label, 'div#statusBar.login-error'
end
Once your Page Objects have been instantiated, you can interact with the UI Elements in your Page Objects. An example is shown below:
login_page.user_id_field.set('snicklefritz')
login_page.password_field.set('Pa55w0rd')
login_page..click
Adding Methods to your Page Object
It is good practice for your Cucumber step definitions to call high level methods in your your Page Object instead of directly accessing and interacting with a page object's UI elements. You can add high level methods to your Page Object class definition for interacting with the UI to hide implementation details, as shown below:
class LoginPage < TestCentricity::PageObject
trait(:page_name) { 'Login' }
trait(:page_url) { '/sign_in' }
trait(:page_locator) { 'body.login-body' }
# Login page UI elements
textfield :user_id_field, '#userName'
textfield :password_field, '#password'
:login_button, '#login'
checkbox :remember_checkbox, '#rememberUser'
label :error_message_label, 'div#statusBar.login-error'
def login(user_id, password)
user_id_field.set(user_id)
password_field.set(password)
.click
end
def remember_me(state)
remember_checkbox.set_checkbox_state(state)
end
end
Once your Page Objects have been instantiated, you can call your methods as shown below:
login_page.remember_me(true)
login_page.user_id_field.set('snicklefritz', 'Pa55w0rd')
PageSection Objects
A PageSection Object is a collection of UI Elements that may appear in multiple locations on a page, or on multiple pages in a web app. It is a collection of UI Elements that represent a conceptual area of functionality, like a navigation bar, a search capability, or a menu. UI Elements and functional behavior are confined to the scope of a PageSection Object.
A PageSection Object may contain other PageSection Objects.
Defining a PageSection Object
Your PageSection class definitions should be contained within individual .rb
files in the features/support/sections
folder of
your test automation project. You define new PageSection Objects as shown below:
class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
end
Adding Traits to a PageSection Object
A PageSection Object typically has a root node object that encapsulates a collection of UI Elements. The section_locator
trait
specifies the CSS or Xpath expression that uniquely identifies that root node object.
You define your page section's Traits as shown below:
class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
trait(:section_locator) { 'form#gnav-search' }
end
Adding UI Elements to your PageSection Object
UI Elements are added to your PageSection class definition as shown below:
class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
trait(:section_locator) { 'form#gnav-search' }
# Search Form UI elements
textfield :search_field, '#search-query'
:search_button, 'button[type=submit]'
end
Adding Methods to your PageSection Object
You can add high level methods to your PageSection class definition, as shown below:
class SearchForm < TestCentricity::PageSection
trait(:section_locator) { 'form#gnav-search' }
# Search Form UI elements
textfield :search_field, '#search-query'
:search_button, 'button[type=submit]'
def search_for(value)
search_field.set(value)
.click
end
end
Adding PageSection Objects to your Page Object
You add a PageSection Object to its associated Page Object as shown below:
class HomePage < TestCentricity::PageObject
trait(:page_name) { 'Home' }
trait(:page_url) { '/dashboard' }
trait(:page_locator) { 'body.dashboard' }
# Home page Section Objects
section :search_form, SearchForm
end
Once your Page Object has been instantiated, you can call its PageSection methods as shown below:
home_page.search_form.search_for('ocarina')
Instantiating your Page Objects
Before you can call the methods in your Page Objects and PageSection Objects, you must instantiate the Page Objects of your web application, as well as create instance variables which can be used when calling a Page Objects methods from your step definitions. There are several ways to instantiate your Page Objects.
One common implementation is shown below:
module WorldPages
def login_page
@login_page ||= LoginPage.new
end
def home_page
@home_page ||= HomePage.new
end
def registration_page
@registration_page ||= RegistrationPage.new
end
end
World(WorldPages)
The WorldPages
module above can be defined in your env.rb
file, or you can define it in a separate world_pages.rb
file in the
features/support
folder.
While this approach is effective for small web applications with only a few pages (and hence few Page Objects), it quickly becomes cumbersome to manage if your web application has dozens of Page Objects that need to be instantiated and managed.
Using the PageManager
The PageManager class provides methods for supporting the instantiation and management of Page Objects. In the code example below,
the page_objects
method contains a hash table of your Page Object instances and their associated Page Object class names
to be instantiated by PageManager:
module WorldPages
def page_objects
{ :login_page => LoginPage,
:home_page => HomePage,
:registration_page => RegistrationPage,
:products_grid_page => ProductsCollectionPage,
:product_detail_page => ProductDetailPage,
:shopping_basket_page => ShoppingBasketPage,
:payment_method_page => PaymentMethodPage,
:confirm_purchase_page => PurchaseConfirmationPage,
:my_account_page => MyAccountPage,
:my_order_history_page => MyOrderHistoryPage,
:my_ship_to_addresses_page => MyShipToAddressesPage
}
end
end
World(WorldPages)
The WorldPages
module above should be defined in the world_pages.rb
file in the features/support
folder.
Include the code below in your env.rb
file to ensure that your Page Objects are instantiated before your Cucumber scenarios are
executed:
include WorldPages
WorldPages.instantiate_page_objects
Connecting to a Web Browser
The WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver
method configures the appropriate selenium-webdriver capabilities required to establish a
connection with a target web browser, and sets the base host URL of the web site you are running your tests against.
The WebDriverConnect.initialize_web_driver
method accepts a single optional parameter - the base host URL. Cucumber Environment
Variables are used to specify the target local or remote web browser, and the various webdriver capability parameters required to configure
the connection.
Locally hosted desktop web browser
For locally hosted desktop web browsers, the WEB_BROWSER
Environment Variable must be set to one of the values from the table below:

Using Browser specific Profiles in cucumber.yml
While you can set Environment Variables in the command line when invoking Cucumber, a preferred method of specifying and managing
target web browsers is to create browser specific Profiles that set the appropriate Environment Variables for each target browser
in your cucumber.yml
file.
Below is a list of Cucumber Profiles for supported locally and remotely hosted desktop and mobile web browsers (put these in in your
cucumber.yml
file). Before you can use the BrowserStack, CrossBrowserTesting, Sauce Labs, or TestingBot services, you will need to
replace the placeholder text with your user account and authorization code for the cloud service(s) that you intend to connect with.

To specify a locally hosted target browser using a profile at runtime, you use the flag --profile
or -p
followed by the profile name when
invoking Cucumber in the command line. For instance, the following command invokes Cucumber and specifies that a local instance of Chrome
will be used as the target web browser:
$ cucumber -p chrome
The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a local instance of Firefox, which will be used to emulate an iPad Pro in landscape orientation:
$ cucumber -p ipad_pro -p landscape
The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a remotely hosted Safari web browser running on an OS X Yosemite virtual machine on the BrowserStack service:
cucumber -p bs_safari_yos
The following command specifies that Cucumber will run tests against a remotely hosted Mobile Safari web browser on an iPhone 6s Plus in landscape orientation running on the BrowserStack service:
$ cucumber -p bs_iphone6_plus -p landscape
