Using the SDK for building tests with Selenium Java – Applitools

This article will explain:

How to use the Applitools Eyes SDK for adding visual validation to your Selenium Java tests.

Using the Applitools Eyes SDK involves 4 main steps:
1.       Create and config an Eyes object.
2.       Start a test.
3.       Add UI validation check points.
4.       Close the test.

The example below illustrates how to build a visual test with Selenium Java:


import com.applitools.eyes.Eyes;
import com.applitools.eyes.RectangleSize;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;

public class TempiTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException, 
                            InterruptedException 
       {

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        // Use your own api key, make sure you use it in all your tests.
         Eyes eyes = new Eyes();
         eyes.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
        

        try {
            // Start visual testing with browser viewport set to 1024x768.
            // Make sure to use the returned driver from this point on.
            driver = eyes.open(driver, "Applitools", "Test Web Page", new 
                               RectangleSize(1024, 768));

            driver.get("http://applitools.com");

            // Visual validation point #1
            eyes.checkWindow("Main Page");

            driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".features>a")).click();

            // Visual validation point #2
            eyes.checkWindow("Features Page");

            // End visual testing. Validate visual correctness.
            eyes.close();

        } finally {
            // Abort test in case of an unexpected error.
            eyes.abortIfNotClosed();
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}
