Features

The following features are supported in the current Stevia build (new features have a version next to them):

• Works with latest Selenium libraries (4.23+) and Spring 3.2.x (4.0 coming soon)
• Works with stable TestNG tested for parallel running
• Supports both Webdriver and Selenium RC, standalone or Grid via easy configuration
• Supports TestNG with parallel test execution (each thread has its own browser/session)
• Versatile extension mechanism allows users of Stevia to extend it by:
  • Controllers via Factory Pattern (we load META-INF/spring/stevia-extensions-drivers-*.xml from classpath)
  • Navigation Beans, PageObjects, Spring beans (we load META-INF/spring/test-beans-*.xml from classpath)
  • Connectors for Rally, JIRA, Testlink (we load META-INF/spring/stevia-extensions-connectors-*.xml from classpath)
• Full logging support using ReportNG, with
  • screenshots of browser for tests that failed
  • actions reporting on test report log and HTML report
• Realtime(!) highlighting of locators, (accessed = yellow, success = green, failure = red)
• Extended "By" mechanism to support SizzleCSS on Webdriver
• Detailed "Verify" class with lots of assertions pre-coded
• Supports for SSH/SFTP via utility classes
• Supports for HTTP GET,POST with Jetty high-performance, multithreaded helper and cookies support
• Supports thread-level common user configuration and state across Tests (within Stevia thread context)
• Supports Annotations (Java 5+)
  • RunsWithController - allows a different controller (different browser or session) to run a @Test method or class
  • Preconditions - allows methods to be called (optionally with different controller) before @Test method
  • Postconditions - similar to @Precondition but after the @Test method.
• Lots of other minor features
