Tellurium is a UI module-based automated testing framework designed primarily for web applications. The UI module is a collection of UI elements grouped together.
Usually, the UI module represents a composite UI object presented as nested UI elements.
The UI module makes it possible to build UI elements` locators at run time. The framework does Object to Locator Mapping (OLM) automatically at run time so that you can define UI objects simply by their attributes, i.e., Composite Locators denoted by the "clocator".
Furthermore, Tellurium uses the Group Locating Concept (GLC) to exploit information inside a collection of UI components to help finding their locators and the GLC is denoted by the "group" attribute in the above UI module.
The Tellurium framework defines a new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for web testing.
Here are the main components of the Tellurium project:
· The Core is the Tellurium Core project.
· Engine is Tellurium Engine project.
· The reference projects include tellurium-website and ui-examples sub-projects.
· The dependencies include all jars you need to run Tellurium tests.
· The doc folder holds Tellurium update and the user guide.
Here are some key features of "Tellurium":
· Abstract UI objects to encapsulate web UI elements
· UI module for structured test code and re-usability
· DSL for UI definition, actions, and testing
· Composite Locator to use a set of attributes to describe a UI element
· Group locating to exploit information inside a collection of UI components
· Dynamically generate runtime locators to localize changes
· UI templates for dynamic web content
· XPath support
· jQuery selector support to improve test speed in IE
· Locator caching to improve speed
· Javascript event support
· Use Tellurium Firefox plugin, Trump, to automatically generate UI modules
· Dojo and ExtJS widget extensions
· Data driven test support
· Selenium Grid support
· JUnit and TestNG support
· Ant and Maven support
Requirements:
· Java
