Protractor and BDD
Protractor is an open source, end to end testing framework designed
specifically for AngularJS web applications.
Protractor it is a solution integrator - combining powerful BDD frameworks
such as …

How we will do it…
1 2 3 4 5 6
Create Automation
Suite with Protractor,
Cucumber and Gulp.
Create feature files from:
 User Stories / Use Cases
 Defect Steps
 Test Cases/Scenarios
Run the feature files and
create stubs [A stub is a
small program that
substitutes for a longer
program]
Create the executable
code with Protractor and
attach it to the feature
statements
Once the code is attached
to the feature
statements, we can
execute the same code
for same repeating
feature statements
We can select the features
that we want to execute
[existing applications+ Past
defects] and easily create
different runner files on
need basis and execute
the automation suite

Advantages of using Protractor and
Cucumber
 Feature statement written multiple times, will have a single
corresponding code attached.
 Write script once and Run on need basis.
 Records time to execute hence also tells us if performance has
improved/degraded from previous run results.
 Test results history with compare functionality.
 Can be auto triggered when Developers are using Code build in
Jenkins.
 Freeware hence saving project Budget.
 Automation scripts can be reused.

10. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017
Learning Outcomes
 Audience will be aware of protractor cucumber end to end
automation testing frameworks.
 Automation testing framework for AngularJs Applications.
 Easy and reliable object identification for AngularJs Application.
 Scripts are faster in execution.

11. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017
Best Practices
 Set screen size so that all the elements are visible.
 Page objects should be used to map the elements and write the functions
to perform actions.
 Simple, Clean and tidy folder structure. Exports and require should be used
to connect your specs and page objects.
 SVN/GitHub can be used as a version control.
