VisionAutomationFramework 2.1.0

Vision Automation Framework (VAF)

VAF is a fluent test automation framework for .NET on top of Selenium WebDriver. Waiting for the page, for elements to be visible and interactable is handled for you, so tests read like the steps they describe.

Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.7.2 test project
• NUnit 3 (3.14 or newer 3.x). VAF asserts with NUnit internally; NUnit 4 is not supported in 2.x.
• Google Chrome (or Firefox, Safari, IE). Browser drivers are downloaded automatically by Selenium Manager on the first run — no ChromeDriver package needed.

Installation

Install-Package VisionAutomationFramework

Quick start

using NUnit.Framework;
using VisionAutomationFramework;
using VisionAutomationFramework.Browsers;
using VisionAutomationFramework.Extensions;

public class Tests
{
    [Test]
    public void OpensExampleDomain()
    {
        var browser = Testing.On<Chrome>();

        try
        {
            browser.LetsNavigateTo("https://example.com/")
                .Should().HaveTitle("Example Domain");
        }
        finally
        {
            browser.Scope.Driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

What's new in 2.1.0

• Selenium 4.45 or newer 4.x. Selenium 4.45 renamed its assembly (WebDriver → Selenium.WebDriver); a project with VAF 2.0.x and Selenium 4.45+ does not compile ("IWebDriver is defined in an assembly that is not referenced: WebDriver"). VAF 2.1.0 works with every Selenium 4.x from 4.45, so you can update Selenium on your own without waiting for a VAF release.
• No ChromeDriver / IEDriver packages. Selenium Manager downloads the driver that matches the installed browser. Behind a proxy that blocks the download, set SE_PROXY or point Selenium to an existing driver.
• No hardcoded BrowserStack credentials. BrowserStack classes read BrowserStackUsername and BrowserStackPassword from app.config. BrowserStack support is marked obsolete and is removed in 3.0.
• Dependencies trimmed to what VAF uses: Selenium.WebDriver, Selenium.Support, NUnit 3, Newtonsoft.Json, RestSharp 106.

Features

• Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer
• Pages, sections and elements as small classes with one locator each
• Element-specific actions and assertions (AsButton(), AsTextInputField(), AsLabelText(), …)
• Built-in waits and loader handling
• XML test log with an HTML report
