        </dependency>

    </dependencies>
</project>

⭐ Explanation

These dependencies allow:

  • Selenium → browser automation
  • TestNG → test engine
  • Cucumber → BDD
  • Allure → advanced reporting
  • Jackson → JSON data-driven testing

🟦 3. testdata.json (for Data-Driven Testing)

📌 src/main/resources/testdata.json

{
  "validLogin": {
    "username": "fewsteps",
    "password": "paassword"
  },
  "invalidLogin": {
    "username": "wrongUser",
    "password": "wrongPass"
  }
}

⭐ Explanation

Allows different data sets (valid, invalid) without changing the automation code.

🟦 4. url.txt (App URL)

📌 src/main/resources/url.txt

https://ifewsteps.web.app/login-qa/

⭐ Explanation

You asked specifically to load the URL from a text file. This allows environment switching easily.

🟦 5. BaseTest + DriverFactory (Browser Setup)

📌 DriverFactory.java

package com.framework.base;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class DriverFactory {

    private static ThreadLocal<WebDriver> driver = new ThreadLocal<>();

    public static WebDriver getDriver() {
        return driver.get();
    }

    public static void setDriver() {
        driver.set(new ChromeDriver());
    }

    public static void quitDriver() {
        driver.get().quit();
        driver.remove();
    }
}

📌 BaseTest.java

package com.framework.base;

import com.framework.utils.FileUtils;
import io.cucumber.java.After;
import io.cucumber.java.Before;

public class BaseTest {

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        DriverFactory.setDriver();
        String url = FileUtils.readURL();
        DriverFactory.getDriver().manage().window().maximize();
        DriverFactory.getDriver().get(url);
    }

    @After
    public void teardown() {
        DriverFactory.quitDriver();
    }
}

⭐ Explanation

  • ThreadLocal → supports parallel execution
  • Before/After → Cucumber hooks
  • Reads URL from text file
  • Starts Chrome, opens the page

🟦 6. Utility Files (FileUtils + JsonReader)

📌 FileUtils.java

package com.framework.utils;

import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class FileUtils {

    public static String readURL() {
        try {
            return new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("src/main/resources/url.txt")));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

📌 JsonReader.java

package com.framework.utils;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import java.io.File;

public class JsonReader {

    public static JsonNode getCredentials(String key) {
        try {
            ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
            JsonNode root = mapper.readTree(new File("src/main/resources/testdata.json"));
            return root.get(key);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

⭐ Explanation

  • Reads URL from file
  • Reads credential data from JSON
  • Used in negative & regression testing

🟦 7. Page Object Model (LoginPage.java)

package com.framework.pages;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

public class LoginPage {

    WebDriver driver;

    public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
    }

    By username = By.id("username");
    By password = By.id("password");
    By loginBtn = By.id("loginBtn");
    By errorMsg = By.id("errorMessage");

    public void enterUsername(String user) {
        driver.findElement(username).sendKeys(user);
    }

    public void enterPassword(String pass) {
        driver.findElement(password).sendKeys(pass);
    }

    public void clickLogin() {
        driver.findElement(loginBtn).click();
    }

    public boolean isErrorVisible() {
        try {
            return driver.findElement(errorMsg).isDisplayed();
        } catch (Exception e) { return false; }
    }
}

⭐ Explanation

The Page Object Model separates UI elements & actions, which:

  • avoids duplication
  • increases maintainability
  • simplifies Cucumber steps

🟦 8. Cucumber Feature File (login.feature)

📌 src/test/resources/features/login.feature

Feature: Login Functionality

  @smoke
  Scenario: Successful login with valid credentials
    Given user is on login page
    When user enters username "fewsteps"
    And user enters password "paassword"
    And user clicks login button
    Then login should be successful

  @regression
  Scenario: Login fails with invalid JSON data
    Given user is on login page
    When user enters invalid JSON "invalidLogin"
    And user clicks login button
    Then error message should appear

  @regression
  Scenario: Login fails when fields are blank
    Given user is on login page
    When user enters username ""
    And user enters password ""
    And user clicks login button
    Then error message should appear

⭐ Explanation

These tests cover: ✔ Positive test ✔ Negative test ✔ Smoke test ✔ Regression test ✔ Data-driven test

🟦 9. Step Definitions (LoginSteps.java)

package com.framework.stepdefinitions;

import com.framework.base.DriverFactory;
import com.framework.pages.LoginPage;
import com.framework.utils.JsonReader;
import io.cucumber.java.en.*;

public class LoginSteps {

    LoginPage login = new LoginPage(DriverFactory.getDriver());

    @Given("user is on login page")
    public void userOnLoginPage() {}

    @When("user enters username {string}")
    public void user_enters_username(String user) {
        login.enterUsername(user);
    }

    @When("user enters password {string}")
    public void user_enters_password(String pass) {
        login.enterPassword(pass);
    }

    @When("user enters invalid JSON {string}")
    public void user_enters_invalid_json(String key) {
        var json = JsonReader.getCredentials(key);
        login.enterUsername(json.get("username").asText());
        login.enterPassword(json.get("password").asText());
    }

    @When("user clicks login button")
    public void user_clicks_login_button() {
        login.clickLogin();
    }

    @Then("login should be successful")
    public void login_successful() {
        assert ! login.isErrorVisible();
    }

    @Then("error message should appear")
    public void error_message() {
        assert login.isErrorVisible();
    }
}

⭐ Explanation

Cucumber steps glue the English scenarios to Selenium actions. Supports:

  • direct input
  • JSON data
  • success verification
  • failure verification
