When having a set of Selenium Tests one nice thing to be able to do would be to run these same tests against multiple browsers. The nicest solution to do this that I’ve discovered is to use the [TestFixture] attribute (Note: Only available in NUnit and not in MSTest).
This is a 2-step process:
1. Introduce a base factory class to initialise the web driver with the specific browser
2. Update the test classes to derive from the base class and add the TestFixture attributes.
Step 1:
So, for example, to test against Chrome and Internet Explorer 11, introduce the Factory Base Class:
public class WebDriverFactory
{
public IWebDriver _driver;
protected WebDriverFactory(BrowserType type)
{
_driver = WebDriver(type);
}
public enum BrowserType
{
IE11,
Chrome
}
[TearDown]
public void Close()
{
_driver.Close();
}
public static IWebDriver WebDriver(BrowserType type)
{
IWebDriver driver = null;
switch (type)
{
case BrowserType.Chrome:
driver = ChromeDriver();
break;
case BrowserType.IE11:
driver = IeDriver();
break;
}
return driver;
}
private static IWebDriver IeDriver()
{
InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.EnsureCleanSession = true;
options.IgnoreZoomLevel = true;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
return driver;
}
private static IWebDriver ChromeDriver()
{
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
return driver;
}
}
Step 2 – Update Test Cases
With this in place, alter the test classes to:
[TestFixture(BrowserType.Chrome)]
[TestFixture(BrowserType.IE11)]
public class NUnitTests : WebDriverFactory
{
public NUnitTests(BrowserType browser) : base(browser)
{
}
[Test]
public void Test1()
{
_driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.co.uk/");
Assert.AreEqual("https://www.google.co.uk/", _driver.Url);
}
}
