JUnit 5 is the next generation of JUnit. The goal of JUnit 5 is to create an up-to-date foundation for developer-side testing on the JVM. Cucumber is a software tool that supports behavior-driven development (BDD).
This BrowserStack Example repository demonstrates a Selenium test framework written in Cucumber and Junit 5 with parallel testing capabilities. The Selenium test scripts are written for the open source BrowserStack Demo web application (Github). This BrowserStack Demo App is an e-commerce web application which showcases multiple real-world user scenarios. The app is bundled with offers data, orders data and products data that contains everything you need to start using the app and run tests out-of-the-box.
The Selenium test tests are run on different platforms like on-prem and BrowserStack using various run configurations and test capabilities.

For this infrastructure configuration (i.e on-premise), create the
driversfolder at/src/test/resourcesand ensure that the ChromeDriver executable is placed in the/src/test/resources/driversfolder. -
Ensure you have the following dependencies installed on the machine
- Java >= 8
- Maven >= 3.1+
- Gradle >= 5.0+
Maven:

gradle build
This repository contains the following Selenium tests:
| Module | Test name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| E2E | End to End Scenario | This test scenario verifies successful product purchase lifecycle end-to-end. It demonstrates the Page Object Model design pattern and is also the default test executed in all the single test run profiles. |
| Login | Login with given username | This test verifies the login workflow with different types of valid login users. |
| Login | Login as Locked User | This test verifies the login workflow error for a locked user. |
| Offers | Offers for Mumbai location | This test mocks the GPS location for Mumbai and verifies that the product offers applicable for the Mumbai location are shown. |
| Product | Apply Apple Vendor Filter | This test verifies that 9 Apple products are only shown if the Apple vendor filter option is applied. |
| Product | Apply Lowest to Highest Order By | This test verifies that the product prices are in ascending order when the product sort "Lowest to Highest" is applied. |
| User | Login as User with no image loaded | This test verifies that the product images load for user: "image_not_loading_user" on the e-commerce application. Since the images do not load, the test case assertion fails. |
| User | Login as User with existing Orders | This test verifies that existing orders are shown for user: "existing_orders_user" |
This infrastructure points to running the tests on your own machine using a browser (e.g. Chrome) using the browser's driver executables (e.g. ChromeDriver for Chrome). Selenium enables this functionality using WebDriver for many popular browsers.
- For this infrastructure configuration (i.e on-premise), create the
driversfolder at/src/test/resourcesand ensure that the ChromeDriver executable is placed in the/src/test/resources/driversfolder.
Note: The ChromeDriver version must match the Chrome browser version on your machine.

How to run the test?
To run the default test scenario (e.g. End to End Scenario) on your own machine, use the following command:
Maven:
mvn test -P on-premGradle:
gradle on-prem
To run a specific test scenario, use the following command with the additional 'test-name' argument:
Maven:
mvn test -P on-prem -Dtest-name="<Test scenario name>"
Gradle:
gradle on-prem -Dtest-name="<Test scenario name>"where, the argument 'test-name' can be any Cucumber scenario name configured in this repository.
E.g. "Login as username", "Login as Locked User", "Offers for mumbai geo-location" or any of the other test scenario names, as outlined in About the tests in this repository section.
-
Output
This run profile executes a specific test scenario on a single browser instance on your own machine.
-
How to run the test?
To run the entire test suite on your own machine, use the following command:
Maven:
mvn test -P on-prem-suiteGradle:
gradle on-prem-suite
-
Output
This run profile executes the entire test suite sequentially on a single browser, on your own machine.
BrowserStack provides instant access to 2,000+ real mobile devices and browsers on a highly reliable cloud infrastructure that effortlessly scales as testing needs grow.
-
Create a new BrowserStack account or use an existing one.
-
Identify your BrowserStack username and access key from the BrowserStack Automate Dashboard and export them as environment variables using the below commands.
- For *nix based and Mac machines:
export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> && export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>
- For Windows:
set BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=<browserstack-username> set BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=<browserstack-access-key>
Alternatively, you can also hardcode username and access_key objects in the caps.json file.
Note:
- We have configured a list of test capabilities in the caps.json file. You can certainly update them based on your device / browser test requirements.
- The exact test capability values can be easily identified using the Browserstack Capability Generator
In this section, we will run a single test on Chrome browser on Browserstack. To change test capabilities for this configuration, please refer to the single object in caps.json file.
-
How to run the test?
- To run the default test scenario (e.g. End to End Scenario) on your own machine, use the following command:
Maven:
mvn test -P bstack-singleGradle:
gradle bstack-single
To run a specific test scenario, use the following command with the additional 'test-name' argument: Maven:
mvn test -P bstack-single -Dtest-name="<Test scenario name>"
Gradle:
gradle bstack-single -Dtest-name="<Test scenario name>"where, the argument 'test-name' can be any Cucumber scenario name configured in this repository.
E.g. "Login as username", "Login as Locked User", "Offers for mumbai geo-location" or any of the other test scenario names, as outlined in About the tests in this repository section.
