The document outlines the Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017, focusing on the use of Protractor as an end-to-end testing framework for AngularJS applications. It describes the process of creating an automation suite using Protractor, Cucumber, and other tools, highlighting the benefits of efficiency and reusability in testing scripts. Key learning outcomes include better understanding of automation testing frameworks and best practices for implementing effective test strategies.

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](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/protractorcucumberframeworkabstract-170321071714/85/ATAGTR2017-Protractor-Cucumber-BDD-Approach-6-320.jpg)

- 9. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017 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.

Editor's Notes
- #3: AngularJS (commonly referred to as "Angular" or "Angular.js") is a complete JavaScript-based open-source front-end web application mainly maintained by Google to address many of the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications. AngularJS is a JavaScript framework. It can be added to an HTML page with a <script> tag. AngularJS extends HTML attributes with Directives, and binds data to HTML with Expressions
- #4: Protractor is an end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications. It acts as an abstraction layer to make automation write and execute easily for Angular.js application.
- #5: Angular JS applications have some extra HTML attributes like ng-repeater, ng-controller, ng-model.., etc. which are not included in Selenium locators. Selenium is not able to identify those web elements using Selenium code. So, Protractor on the top of Selenium can handle and controls those attributes in Web Applications. The protractor is an end to end testing framework for Angular JS based applications. While most frameworks focus on conducting unit tests for Angular JS applications, Protractor focuses on testing the actual functionality of an application.
- #6: Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It is default framework that comes with Protractor. Cucumber is for Behaviour-Driven Development and uses gherkin . Mocha is a JavaScript test framework running on node.js, featuring browser support, asynchronous testing, test coverage reports, and use of any assertion library.
