Run an Example Test on SauceLabs

In this post, we will see how to run a sample test on SauceLabs. You need to have a SauceLabs account to set up and run the program. The sample program requires the SauceLabs username and access key.

To get the access key:

Capabilities

Let’s write a sample test that searches the Bing home page for a keyword and asserts the title of the results page.

We will run the program on Mozilla Firefox browser version 46 by setting the DesiredCapabilities and on Windows 10 operating system.

DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
 caps.setCapability("platform", "Windows 10");
 caps.setCapability("version", "46.0");

 

 

Sample Test

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.testng.Assert;

import java.net.URL;
 
public class SampleBingTest {
 
 public static final String USERNAME = 
"SAUCE_USERNAME_GOES_HERE";
 public static final String ACCESS_KEY = 
"SAUCELAB_ACCESS_KEY_GOES_HERE";
 public static final String URL = "https://" + USERNAME + ":" 
+ ACCESS_KEY + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:443/wd/hub";
 
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
 
 DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
 caps.setCapability("platform", "Windows 10");
 caps.setCapability("version", "46.0");
 
 WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);
 
 driver.get("https://www.bing.com");
 driver.findElement(By.id("sb_form_q"))
.sendKeys("Hello");
 driver.findElement(By.id("sb_form_go")).click();
 WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60);
 wait.until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("Hello"));
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello - Bing", driver.getTitle());
 driver.quit();

 }
}
