Learn how to run Selenium Java tests in Azure DevOps.

Mastering Selenium

We all write automated tests using Selenium WebDriver and Java. While developing and testing our automation code, we run it locally on our computers. Others should be able to change or run the code as well. This becomes possible when the code is added to a repository, from which other people can also access it. Once the code is in a repository, it can be executed in a CI/CD environment—such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps—through pipelines. This is the focus of this module.
 
In this module, we’ll add a local automation project built with Java, TestNG, and Selenium to an Azure DevOps project, share the repository with other people, and run its tests through pipelines.

- Programming language: **Java**
- Dependency management and test execution: **Maven**
- Unit-testing framework: **Test NG**
- Automation library: **Selenium WebDriver**
- Automation pattern: **Page Object Model**

# A few details on each technology
The project is created using <b>Maven</b> for multiple reasons. Maven maintains the project dependencies (Selenium WebDriver and Test NG) through the `pom.xml` file. With Maven, the project has a standard structure with `src` and `target` folders. 

Maven commands can be used for compiling the code (`mvn compile`), cleaning  previous project artifacts (`mvn clean`), and executing automated tests (`mvn test`).

This is what the Maven `pom.xml` file looks like:
