Hi,
I use specflow on a daily basis, with IE automation.
Some tips:
Start with the generic case and then add methods that use this generic case
to make things easier.
ex:
>>>> When I am logged in as "username" with password "password"
then I create steps for
>>>> When I am logged in as a User
>>>> When I am logged in as an Administrator
>>>> When I am logged in as a User without a shopping basket
Use one class for your steps, ie SpecflowSteps.cs
but make this partial and create classes that separate your steps into
logical groupings.
For testing on Asp.Net websites I use this
public static Regex AsAspId(this string text)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
return new Regex(text + "$");
}
So I can match buttons and links by the name in the code and not the
generated name.
And here is a Link does not exist step using it.
[Given(@"I cannot see the link ""(.*)""")]
public void GivenICannotSeeTheLink(string p0)
{
Regex search = p0.AsAspId();
Link link =
WebBrowser.Current.Link(Find.ById(search).Or(Find.ByAlt(search)).Or(Find.ByName(search)).Or(Find.ByClass(search)));
Assert.IsFalse(link.Exists, "Link found {0}", p0);
}
As I said before this is only run in IE, the testing team / developers use
it to test functionality, then the testing team will test in the 4 browsers
that we support for inconsistencies.
