Xceptance / neodymium-cucumber-example

A BDD/Cucumber example for Neodymium.

Introduction

This repository demonstrates how to use our Neodymium library to set up a maintainable and well structured test automation project. Furthermore we use the Wiki to show and explain how to use the features from the Neodymium library. We also give insight how we think a test automation project should be structured and what results you should get out of it.

Cucumber

Within this example project we demonstrate how to set up and implement a Cucumber BDD test automation project. You can find information about Cucumber within our Wiki.

How to try it out

This will be a short introduction how to get it running.

Prerequisites

You will need the following technologies available to try it out:

• Git
• Maven 3+
• JDK 8
• IDE of your choice
• Web browser's of your choice and their respective WebDrivers

Manage Posters

Posters is a web shop for demo purposes build by Xceptance. We use it throughout all our software products to demonstrate their capabilities within a simple and stable environment.

Get Posters

1. Download latest XLT here.
2. Extract the zip file in the preferred folder.

Run Posters

1. Open a console goto [extractXltPath]/samples/app-server/bin/
2. Start Posters with: ./start.sh for Linux or \start.cmd for Windows.
3. Goto https://localhost:8443/posters/ to check if it is running.

Stop Posters

Stopping Posters just press Ctrl+C and cancel the batch process with "Y".

Reset database

Delete log files

The posters store create log files which are located in ./samples/app-server/logs folder. You can delete them while the server is stopped to free disk space.
