Build Management Tools 

Maven

Its a Build & Dependency management tool

Maven POM is an acronym for Project Object Model.
The pom.xml file contains information of project and configuration information for the maven to build the project such as dependencies, build directory, source directory, test source directory, plugin, goals etc.
Maven reads the pom.xml file, then executes the goal.

POM.xml

This file will contain all the instruction which we wanted to do
Maven reads instructions from POM.xml file 
1. Verifies the resources
2. Compiles the tests
3. Package the test to jar file

<!--properties are like variables holding the path, in here suiteXmlFile holds the location of testng.xml file path-->

<!-- should be declared before the Build tag-->

<!--Integrating TestNG with Maven:-->

<properties>
<suiteXmlFile>src/main/resources/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</properties>

<!-- Define external Dependencies to be downloaded from external to maven repository as follows-->

<repositories>

     <repository> 
             <id>JBoss repository</id>
                     <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url> 
     </repository> 

</repositories>

<!-- Define Dependencies to be dowloaded from Maven central repository-->

<dependencies>
<!-- Adding testng dependency -->

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>6.1.1</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Adding Selenium dependency -->

<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>2.47.1</version>
</dependency>

</dependencies>

<build>

<!-- Adding maven compiler plugin, Compiles Java sources -->

<version>3.0</version>
<configuration>
<compilerVersion>1.8</compilerVersion>

========================================================================
mvn clean install test
clean target will clear all the dependencies
install target will install all the dependencies
test target will start executing the test

 How do we get the Maven dependencies
Assume we require TestNG dependencies for Maven, Google it like "TestNG Maven dependencies, the Launching page, we will be able to see a list of links available
TestNG - Maven
testng.org/doc/maven.html, click on the link, we will see the below

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
  <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
  <version>6.8</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency

How to create a Simple Maven project

Launch eclipse ->File->New->Project->Select Maven->Maven project->Create

a Simple Project->The below page will be launched



Now how do we choose a proper Group ID, Artifact ID ->

The general convention followed is as follows:

Group ID should be -> com.Organizationname.ClientName
Artifact ID should be -> GroupId.ProductNam, hence it will be
com.Organizationname.ClientName.ProductName

This will be the Root folder Name of the Project & the project will be packaged with this name.

QA's approach 2 Java - Understanding Static context

            Static Members Flow Class members In java application we are defining objects for communication.Every Object is represented as a model(class). Hence, java application is the combination of classes. And every class in java application is allowed to define following members. 1) static members 2) non-static members Static members flow using JVM architecture : Java class supports definition of 4 static members. 1) static main method 2) static block 3) static variable 4) static method Static main method Example class Demo { //empty..... } How to Compile & Execute a simple Java program? 1) Save the program in "d-drive" with name Demo.java 2) Open command prompt, navigate to the path where the java program is stored 3) Compilation: cmd/> javac Demo.java Demo.class file will be generated. 4) Execution:  cmd/>java Demo Error : main method not found... main method : 1) It is static method, hence...

Technologies - Log4J - Create Log4j Configuration File - Where ? How ? What ?

-
  Typical Steps involved in Creating Log4j Configuration file Configure the root logger - What to Log - info/debug/error/fatal messages Configure individual loggers (if needed). Specify appenders -- Where to Log -- in File/Console, etc Specify message layout/Pattern -- How to Log - format to log the message Configuring a Layout PatternLayout lets you determine how data is extracted from log events and formatted for output based on a conversion pattern. Conversion patterns act as placeholders for data that appears in each log event.  For example, let’s break down a PatternLayout commonly used in Log4j: <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/> %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} formats the date in terms of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. %t displays the Logger’s current thread. %level displays the severity of the log event. %logger displays the name of the Logger. %m displays the event’s message. Finally, %n adds a new line for the next e...
