SHAFT_Engine 4.1.20200224

• [✓] Implement AI Powered Visual Validations using Applitools Eyes.
  • Just add your API_KEY under src/test/properties/path.properties applitoolsApiKey
  • Then use the new Assertion/Verification and make sure to select one of the supported VisualValidationEngine techniques for Applitools Eyes; EXACT_EYES, STRICT_EYES, CONTENT_EYES, LAYOUT_EYES
  • Method signature:
    assertElementMatches(WebDriver driver, By elementLocator, VisualValidationEngine visualValidationEngine, AssertionType assertionType, String... customLogMessage)
  • Sample Code:
    private static final ThreadLocal<WebDriver> driver = new ThreadLocal<>();
driver.set(BrowserFactory.getBrowser());
BrowserActions.navigateToURL(driver.get(), "https://www.google.com/ncr", "www.google.com");
Assertions.assertElementMatches(driver.get(), By.xpath("//div[@class='RNNXgb']"), Assertions.VisualValidationEngine.STRICT_EYES, Assertions.AssertionType.POSITIVE, "NEW - Using Visual AI; Applitools Eyes");
• [✓] Implement AI Powered Visual Validations using OpenCV.
  • This Validation is performed locally, so there are no prerequisites to use it.
  • You can use the new Assertion/Verification and make sure to select the appropriate VisualValidationEngine for OpenCV; EXACT_OPENCV
  • Method signature:
    assertElementMatches(WebDriver driver, By elementLocator, VisualValidationEngine visualValidationEngine, AssertionType assertionType, String... customLogMessage)
  • Sample Code:
    private static final ThreadLocal<WebDriver> driver = new ThreadLocal<>();
driver.set(BrowserFactory.getBrowser());
BrowserActions.navigateToURL(driver.get(), "https://www.google.com/ncr", "www.google.com");
Assertions.assertElementMatches(driver.get(), By.xpath("//div[@class='RNNXgb']"), Assertions.VisualValidationEngine.EXACT_OPENCV, Assertions.AssertionType.POSITIVE, "NEW - Using Visual AI; OpenCV");
• [✓] Implement AI Powered Visual Validations infrastructure and workflow.
  • The first time you use a certain VisualValidationEngine (Eyes/OpenCV) a screenshot is taken and saved as a reference image, and the Test step is marked as PASS.
  • For all following test runs the actual image is compared against the expected image using the desired VisualValidationEngine, and the Test step is marked as PASS or FAIL accordingly.
  • In case you're using OpenCV, you can access your reference images from this path src\test\resources\DynamicObjectRepository
  • In case you're using Applitools Eyes, SHAFT_Engine will provide you with the link to manage your Applitools Dashboard in the report under 'Current Method Log' and in the Console while you execute your test.
• [✓] Refactor Verifications library to use the unified ValidationActions Library to maintain consistent logging and reporting.
• [✓] Updated SHAFT_Engine API documentation.

In this new version you'll enjoy several fixes and enhancements throughout the automation engine, introducing new features with focus on AI and Computer Vision and most importantly Support for Appium!!!

This means that you can finally use SHAFT_Engine to drive all of your Web GUI + Mobile GUI (Web, Native, Hybrid) + API + CLI (Local, Remote, Dockerized) + DB (MY_SQL, SQL_SERVER, POSTGRE_SQL, ORACLE, IBM_DB2) Test Automation all in one place, with a single consolidated report! 🐉
