reqnroll-bdd-automation

A robust BDD automation framework built with C#, leveraging Reqnroll (SpecFlow fork), Selenium WebDriver, Page Object Model (POM), Allure reporting, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

---

Key Features

1. Reqnroll (formerly Specflow) BDD Framework

• Uses Reqnroll for Behavior-Driven Development.
• Write feature files in Gherkin syntax for clear, business-readable test scenarios.
• Step definitions are implemented in C# for seamless integration with the application logic.

2. Environment Management via Property File

• Environment-specific data (e.g., browser, base URL, credentials) is maintained in a single environment.properties file under resources/.
• The Setup helper class loads these properties at runtime, making it easy to switch environments or update test data without code changes.

3. Page Object Model (POM)

• Implements the Page Object Model design pattern for maintainable and reusable UI automation.
• Each page (e.g., LoginPage, MyInfoPage, LogoutPage) encapsulates its elements and actions.
• Centralized object management via the Objects container.

4. Allure Report Integration

• Generates rich, interactive test reports using Allure.
• Allure is configured via the Allure.Reqnroll NuGet package.

5. Logging

• Uses log4net for detailed logging.
• Log configuration is managed in Config/LoggerConfigure.xml.
• Logs are written to the Logs/ directory in the test output, capturing key events and errors.

6. GitHub CI/CD Workflow

• Automated test execution via GitHub Actions.
• Allure reports are published to GitHub Pages after each workflow run.

7. Selenium WebDriver Manager

• Uses WebDriverManager to automatically download and manage browser drivers.
• No manual driver setup required;

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository
2. Run tests using your preferred test runner (e.g., Visual Studio Test Explorer, dotnet test).
3. View Allure reports locally or via GitHub Pages after CI runs.

• To view Allure reports locally, run the following command in the terminal:

1. allure generate allure-results -o allure-report
2. allure open

• To view Allure reports on GitHub Pages,

1. Navigate to the gh-pages branch of the repository after a CI run.
2. Alternatively, you can access the reports directly from the GitHub Pages URL configured in the repository settings.
