Quick recap - 1

Congratulations !!

You authored your first test, executed it from the command line (via Gradle task), Also saw the Allure report in few minutes.

Recap of capabilities#

1) WebDriver Management#

Nowhere we created a WebDriver instance and manage it. Ekam takes care of creating, managing, and disposing of WebDriver instances out of the box.

2) Creation of Page classes & Page factory#

Nowhere we created instances of Page classes. Also, no need for Page factory. In the traditional approach, we create a Page factory to supply page objects. Both creation of Page classes and Page Factory are not needed anymore and Ekam manages & serves Page Objects out of the box.

3) Atoms#

Nowhere we dealt with WebElements, Wait statements & Waiting-related strategies. Ekam provides abstractions over WebElements and has wait strategies taken care of out of the box.

textbox, element - abstractions over WebElements

query functions would allow you to declare By statements for locators

4) Gradle tasks to execute tests#

We did not have to author Gradle tasks to execute tests. It is readily available. More can be created in the same lines on a need basis.

5) Allure reporting out of the box.#

Nowhere we wrote code to create Allure reports

6) Generate code#

The IntelliJ IDEA plugin for Ekam is generating code, to accelerate authoring.
