Page Under Test
We will test the Apache Web Server Ubuntu default home page header in a sample test using Firefox driver.
Sample Test
package com.testingdocs.sample; import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.testng.Assert; import org.testng.annotations.Test; public class AppTest { @Test public void firstTest() { WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); try { driver.get("http://localhost"); WebElement result = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.page_header")); Assert.assertEquals(result.getText(),"Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page"); } finally { driver.quit(); } } }
