Abstract
---
System development nowadays more than ever starts to look for automated test methods. There are several main drivers for this trend -need for faster design‐develop‐test‐analysis cycle, push for higher quality, increasing complexity of systems and their integration and last but not least ever‐rising costs of manual testing. Software testing itself is very wide field with topics ranging from compliance frameworks.

What is Joomla?
---------------------
* Joomla is a **Content Management System** (CMS) which enables you to build websites and powerful online applications.
* It is a simple and powerful web server application which requires a server with PHP and either MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQL Server to run. You can find more [details here](https://www.joomla.org/about-joomla.html).
* Joomla is **free and OpenSource software** distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.
Automation Testing means using an automation tool to execute test case suite. The automation software can also enter test data into the System Under Test, compare expected and actual results and generate detailed test reports.

Is Joomla! for you?
---------------------
* Joomla is [the right solution for most content web projects](https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_Is_it_for_me%3F).
* View Joomla's core [features here](https://www.joomla.org/core-features.html).
* Try it out for yourself in our [online demo](https://demo.joomla.org).
Test Automation demands considerable investments of money and resources. Successive development cycles will require execution of same test suite repeatedly. Using a test automation tool it's possible to record this test suite and re-play it as required. Once the test suite is automated, no human intervention is required.

How to find a Joomla! translation?
---------------------
* Repository of [accredited language packs](http://community.joomla.org/translations.html).
* You can also add languages directly to your website via your Joomla! administration panel.

* Gherkin is a **human-readable** language for system behaviour description.
* Gherkin is a _natural_ language for testing that **Codeception** uses to define test cases.
* The test is written in plain `English` which is common to all the domains of project team.
* Test cases were designed to be **non-technical** and **human readable**, and **collectively describes**.
* This test is structured that makes it capable of being read in an automated way.

* It can be used as documentation and updated easily.
* It helps quickly understand the logic of the application.
* Features are the basis for writing acceptance tests with test-driven development (TDD and BDD).

## Additional options
### Installation

You can run the tests against different resolutions. The default acceptance YAML configuration file provides three options:
1. Clone this repository using command below or download source from [here](https://github.com/joomla-projects/gsoc16_browser-automated-tests/archive/staging.zip)

* "desktop": default, 1024x768px
* "tablet": tablet in portrait mode, 768x1024px
* "phone": phone in portrait mode, 480x640px
```bash
$ git clone [email protected]:joomla-projects/gsoc16_browser-automated-tests.git
```

To set a specific resolution, set is as an option of the command:
2. Install `composer` in your system. Read more about [how to install composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) here.

`$ vendor/bin/robo run:tests --env=tablet`
3. Install composer packages using following steps from root directory of this project.
_We are using `composer.json` file for `tests` folder, so that you will have to run composer install from tests directory._

Note: the first parameter is used by Travis and you should always set it to "0" when you run your tests locally.
```bash
$ cd tests && composer install
```

##For Windows:
4. Copy `tests/acceptance.suite.dist.yml` to `tests/acceptance.suite.yml` and change settings according to your webserver.

You need to install:
- Git for windows (https://msysgit.github.io/)
- GitHub for windows (https://windows.github.com/)
- Curl for Windows if necesssary.
```
$ cp acceptance.suite.dist.yml acceptance.suite.yml
```

Note: For commands line is better if you use the 'Git shell' program.
5. Get back to project root direcoty using `$ cd ..`

First you should create a fork of the official repository and clone the fork into your web server folder.
### Run tests

To prepare the system tests (Selenium) to be run in your local machine you are asked to rename the file `tests/acceptance.suite.dist.yml` to `tests/acceptance.suite.yml`. Afterwards, please edit the file according to your system needs.
To run the tests please execute the following commands. We are usin [Robo.li](http://robo.li/) to execute the tests.

Open the console and go in the root folder, for example:
#### To execute all the test features you should use.

```bash
cd C:\wamp\www\gsoc16_browser-automated-tests
$ tests/vendor/bin/robo run:tests
```

Then run the commands:
#### You can individual run `feature` using following command.

To run `content` feature use,

```bash
$ cd tests
$ composer install
$ cd ..
$ tests/vendor/bin/codecept run tests/acceptance/content.feature
```

You can then run the following command to start the tests:
To run `users` feature use,

```bash
$ tests/vendor/bin/robo run:tests
$ tests/vendor/bin/codecept run tests/acceptance/users.feature
```

Once all tests were executed, you may also run a specific test:
_If you want to see steps then you can use `--steps` option of codeceptio. Check [full codecept command list here](http://codeception.com/docs/reference/Commands#Run)_

```bash
$ tests/vendor/bin/robo run:test // Then select the test you want to run!
```
