Let's have a quick introduction about Maven, Jenkins and Selenium

Maven: It is used as a build management tool, which can simplify the build process and make jars more easily available. To create a Maven project for selenium refer the link HERE which has the pom.xml for setup

Jenkins: It is an open-source continuous integration tool. It can be used on Windows, Linux, MAC and Solaris environments. Click this link HERE to learn more about Jenkins

Selenium: This is an open source umbrella project for a range of tools and libraries aimed at supporting browser automation.

Why to Use Maven & Jenkins:

Whenever a new deployment is made, Jenkins will keep an eye on it and run a smoke test against the latest build. Once the build is passed, it will be deployed in the build production environment. It is difficult to run all the test cases by the time you reach the office. If you know that your test or regression suite will take almost 12 hours to execute then you can have a nightly build run on Jenkins, which will run the test cases during the night time so that by the time you reach the office, you can get the latest test result without wasting any more time.

Using Maven in your project removes the hard coding of jars.The Build process will become very easy with Maven build management tool.Updating hard coding jars is a hectic process. It’s better to update the version number in pom.xml so that jars can be updated on the go. You don’t need to worry about deleting the old jar and getting the latest jar. If the team is big then you need a common structure to share the project structure. It’s easy to share the artifact id and version id so that people in the team can clone the project.

Prerequisites for running :

Automation suite in testng xml
Java should be installed.
Selenium
Maven should be installed.
Using TestNG framework for Test Cases
Jenkins server access

Selenium-Automation suite in TestNG xml

For Execution purposes, let's create a sample project with below code:

For the above code, kindly check the GOOGLE DOC.

Now we have to add this test class to the TestNG suite, so lets create a TestNG.xml file which will call above class:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Automation Test Suite">
<test name="VerifyTitle">
<classes>
<class name="com.task.automation.test.SeleniumMavenJenkinsSetup"/>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>

STEP-1

As of now we have created a sample Selenium script and added that to our automation suite in TestNG.xml.

Our next step would be Integrate TestNG.xml suite with pom.xml. To do that we have to add the below section inside pom.xml and mention the path of TestNG.xml suite inside(resources\testNG_xml\SmokeSuite.xml)

<suiteXmlFile> use this particular tag in pom.xml:

<configuration>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>resources\testNG_xml\SmokeSuite.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>

To get the entire pom.xml with dependencies required in Selenium Automation Framework

refer below link: Click Link Here For pom.XML

STEP-2

Go to your Automation project path and open command prompt, as shown below project name is “Task” and we have opened cmd @project location:

STEP-3

Enter maven goal for the test as: "mvn clean test" in the command prompt and hit ENTER:

STEP-4

Go to Jenkins, click on New Item as shown in below screenshot:
