Set up your first Java test with JUnit

See our JUnit example repository for a simple example on how to run JUnit tests in parallel on TestingBot.

Below is a JUnit test example, showing you how to run a JUnit test on TestingBot

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class SimpleTest {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

		Map<String, Object> testingBotOptions = new HashMap<>();
        testingBotOptions.put("name", "Testing Selenium");
        testingBotOptions.put("platform", "WIN10");
        testingBotOptions.put("version", "latest");

        options.setCapability("tb:options", testingBotOptions);

        String key = System.getenv("TB_KEY");
        String secret = System.getenv("TB_SECRET");

        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
            new URL("https://" + key + ":" + secret + "@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub"),
            options
        );

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSimple() throws Exception {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        assertEquals("Google", driver.getTitle());
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Configuring capabilities

To run your existing tests on TestingBot, your tests will need to be configured to use the TestingBot remote machines. If the test was running on your local machine or network, you can simply change your existing test like this:

Before:
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
After:
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
	new URL("https://key:secret@hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub"),
	new FirefoxDriver()
);

Specify Browsers & Devices

To let TestingBot know on which browser/platform/device you want to run your test on, you need to specify the browsername, version, OS and other optional options in the capabilities field.

Testing Internal Websites

We've built TestingBot Tunnel, to provide you with a secure way to run tests against your staged/internal webapps.
Please see our TestingBot Tunnel documentation for more information about this easy to use tunneling solution.

The example below shows how to easily run a JUnit test with our Tunnel:

1. Download our tunnel and start the tunnel:

java -jar testingbot-tunnel.jar key secret

2. Adjust your test: instead of pointing to 'hub.testingbot.com/wd/hub' like the example above - change it to point to your tunnel's IP address.
Assuming you run the tunnel on the same machine you run your tests, change to 'localhost:4445/wd/hub'. localhost is the machine running the tunnel, 4445 is the default port of the tunnel.

This way your test will go securely through the tunnel to TestingBot and back:

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class SimpleTest {

    private WebDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

		Map<String, Object> testingBotOptions = new HashMap<>();
        testingBotOptions.put("name", "Testing Selenium");
        testingBotOptions.put("platform", "WIN10");
        testingBotOptions.put("version", "latest");

        options.setCapability("tb:options", testingBotOptions);

        String key = System.getenv("TB_KEY");
        String secret = System.getenv("TB_SECRET");

        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
            new URL("http://" + key + ":" + secret + "@localhost:4445/wd/hub"),
            options
        );

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSimple() throws Exception {
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        assertEquals("Google", driver.getTitle());
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Run tests in Parallel

Parallel Testing means running the same test, or multiple tests, simultaneously. This greatly reduces your total testing time.

You can run the same tests on all different browser configurations or run different tests all on the same browser configuration.
TestingBot has a large grid of machines and browsers, which means you can use our service to do efficient parallel testing. It is one of the key features we provide to greatly cut down on your total testing time.

Please see our Parallel JUnit documentation for parallel testing.

Queuing

Every plan we provide comes with a limit of parallel tests.
If you exceed the number of parallel tests assigned to your account, TestingBot will queue the additional tests (for up to 6 minutes) and run the tests as soon as slots become available.

Mark tests as passed/failed

To mark your test as passed or failed, or to send additional metadata to TestingBot, you can use our API.

We provide a Java client library to help you interact with the TestingBot API easily.

Once integrated into your test suite, you can programmatically update the test status and send metadata such as test name, build ID, or tags to TestingBot.

import com.testingbot.testingbotrest.TestingbotREST;

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
	TestingbotREST r = new TestingbotREST("key", "secret");
	Map<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
	data.put("success", "1");
	data.put("name", "My Test");
	r.updateTest(driver.getSessionId(), data);
	driver.quit();
}
