Automation Parallel Testing with Selenium and Java
Our client, a leading company in the consumer goods industry, operates an administrative system that manages sales to end customers (retail) and calculates compensation for distributors and autonomous customers. It verifies authorized products, applies promotions, calculates taxes, and generates multiple files. The system is integrated with desktop and web applications for validation and authorization. They wanted to migrate one of their key legacy desktop applications to a web-based platform hence they approached SPEC INDIA for the same.

Business Goals
- They were looking for an IT partner who could help them migrate their desktop application to a web app as their desktop solution was handling so much work at once.
- Secondly during this transition, they aimed to ensure that none of the existing functionality would break
- They also aimed to automate the testing process to reduce the effort required for each new release or change.
Business Challenges
Cross-Browser Compatibility
One of the main problems was the ability to run tests on multiple browsers at once; while running tests, behaviors of different browsers differed and created problems.
Extent Reporting Generation
Creating highly detailed browser-specific reports for each instance during parallel execution was challenging. Another major difficulty was to gather correct outcomes and to compile individual reports for each of the browsers.
Technical Solution
-
Cross-Browser Testing Framework
We developed a cross-browser testing framework using Thread Local, which allowed us to abstract the complexities of different browsers. This provided a unified interface to execute tests seamlessly across various browsers, ensuring smooth compatibility.
-
Error Handling
We strengthened error-handling mechanisms that can provide descriptive and accurate reports for faster problem detection and correction.
-
Reporting Solution
With the help of Thread Local, it was possible to create different reports for each working browser. The Extent Reports were incorporated and to get more specific test results for each browser, the reporting mechanism of TestNG was adopted.
