SeLion
Enabling Test Automation in Java
SeLion builds on top of TestNG and Selenium to provide a set of capabilities that get you up and running with WebDriver in a short time. It can be used for testing web and mobile applications.
- A client module which you can add as a Maven dependency.
- Annotation based WebDriver session management.
- Runtime Reporter for real-time test execution status.
- Swap out browser targets at run-time.
- Automate native, hybrid, and web applications on iOS and Android devices.
- and more
- A set of TestNG compatible data providers which allow you to access test data from
Excel, YAML, JSON, and XML. - A maven archetype for creating new SeLion based projects.
- A customized Selenium Grid2 component.
- A Code generator Maven plugin for generating Java "page objects" out of YAML.
