Types of KeyInitializers

In the Open Code version of our Scriptless Automation framework, the KeyInitializers are categorized into three distinct classes, each designed to cater to specific areas of automation:

1. CoreKeyInitializers - Core framework utilities.

2. ApiKeyInitializers - API automation utilities.

3. WebKeyInitializers - Web automation utilities.

Each initializer provides thread-local variables to ensure data consistency across parallel test executions.

CoreKeyInitializers

• Purpose: Used for core framework operations.

• Variables Available:

  • customSoftAssert: To perform custom assertions.

  • testManagementRunUrl: To retrieve the test management run URL.

Usage:

• Retrieve the current instance of custom soft assertions for validation.

• Access the test management run URL during the execution of your tests.

ApiKeyInitializers

• Purpose: Provides utilities for API automation.

• Variables Available:

  • mailingServices: To access mailing services.

  • globalVariables: A map to store and retrieve global variables.

  • response: To get the latest API response.

Usage:

• Use mailing services for sending emails during API tests.

• Store and retrieve global variables required for API testing.

• Access and validate the latest API response received.

WebKeyInitializers

• Purpose: Used specifically for web automation.

• Variables Available:

  • browserName: To retrieve the name of the browser being used.

  • getMainWindow: To get the main window handle of the browser.

  • devToolsListener: A map to manage DevTools listeners.

  • firstName, lastName, phoneNumber: To store and retrieve user details.

  • driver: To access the WebDriver instance.

Usage:

• Access the browser name and main window handle for managing browser sessions.

• Use the DevTools listener map to handle browser events.

• Retrieve user details like first name, last name, and phone number for form submissions.

• Interact with web elements using the WebDriver instance.

Integration with Automation Templates

• Custom Actions: Integrate custom actions using these initializers in your automation templates. Define actions in your templates that invoke methods from your custom classes.

• Custom Assertions: Use CoreKeyInitializers to integrate custom assertions into your tests. This allows you to perform complex validation checks.

• API Execution: Utilize ApiKeyInitializers for handling API responses and mailing services within your API automation templates. This enables dynamic test flows based on API interactions.
