FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Ignores the specifics of the underlying software
component under test.
Whitebox / Greybox
Merely asserts that providing certain input results in
certain output.
Web-application: Programmatically controlling a web
browser to simulate the actions of a user on a web page.

4 . 64 . 7
PAIN
Traditionally been tedious, cumbersome and brittle
to do

Geb helps ease the pain

4 . 8
GAIN
Any browser based application can be tested

5 . 2
GEB HISTORY
Started in November 2009
Created by Luke Daley
Current project lead Marcin Erdman

WHY GEB
jQuery like selector syntax
Power of WebDriver (Easier api)
Robustness of Page Object modeling
Expressiveness of the Groovy language
Integrates well with build systems (Gradle/Maven)
Excellent user manual/documentation

5 . 3
GEB IMPLEMENTATION
Build on top of the WebDriver browser automation library
successor to the Selenium Remote Control (RC) testing
framework.
Selenium RC → JavaScript to interact
WebDriver → native browser drivers
Use JUnit or Spock

5 . 4
WEBDRIVER
Very active development
Stable API and feature set
Verbose
Low level
Not a complete solution

NAVIGATOR
The $() method returns a Navigator object
General format
$ ( < c s s s e l e c t o r > , < i n d e x / r a n g e > , < a t t r i b u t e / t e x t m a t c h e r s > )

GEB SELECTORS (1)
Jquery like selecter syntax
/ / m a t c h a l l ' p ' e l e m e n t s o n p a g e
$ ( " p " )
/ / m a t c h t h e f i r s t ' p ' e l e m e n t o n t h e p a g e
$ ( " p " , 0 )
/ / A l l ' d i v ' e l e m e n t s w i t h a t i t l e v a l u e ' s e c t i o n '
$ ( " d i v " , t i t l e : " s e c t i o n " )
/ / m a t c h t h e f i r s t ' d i v ' e l e m e n t t e x t ' s e c t i o n '
$ ( " d i v " , 0 , t e x t : " s e c t i o n " )
/ / m a t c h t h e f i r s t ' d i v ' e l e m e n t w i t h t h e c l a s s ' m a i n '
$ ( " d i v . m a i n " , 0 )

6 . 3
GEB SELECTORS (2)
Text attribute supports regex
/ / A n y d i v w i t h t h e t e x t s t a r t i n g w i h G R 8
$ ( " d i v " , t e x t : ~ / G R 8 . + / )
$ ( " p " , t e x t : s t a r t s W i t h ( " G R 8 " ) )
/ / A n d o t h e r h a n d y p r e d i c a t e s
$ ( " d i v " , c l a s s : c o n t a i n s ( " u i - " ) )

6 . 4
GEB SELECTORS (3)
Selecting returns Navigatorobjects
/ / T h e p a r e n t o f t h e f i r s t d i v
$ ( " d i v " , 0 ) . p a r e n t ( )
/ / A l l t a b l e s w i t h a c e l l s p a c i n g
/ / a t t r i b u t e v a l u e o f 0 t h a t a r e n e s t e d i n a p a r a g r a p h
$ ( " p " ) . f i n d ( " t a b l e " , c e l l s p a c i n g : ' 0 ' )

6 . 56 . 6
CSS SUPPORT
$ ( " t a b l e t r : n t h - c h i l d ( 2 n + 1 ) t d " )

6 . 7
RETRIVING INFORMATION
$ ( " p " ) . t e x t ( ) = = " a "
$ ( " p " ) . t a g ( ) = = " p "
$ ( " p " ) . @ t i t l e = = " a "
$ ( " p " ) . c l a s s e s ( ) = = [ " a " , " p a r a " ]

INTERACTION WITH CONTENT
click()
isDisplayed()
withConfirm{}
withAlert{}
$ ( " a . b t n " ) . c l i c k ( )
$ ( " d i v " ) . i s D i s p l a y e d ( )
w i t h C o n f i r m {
$ ( " b u t t o n . d e l e t e " ) . c l i c k ( )
}

6 . 86 . 9
SENDING INPUT
i m p o r t o r g . o p e n q a . s e l e n i u m . K e y s
/ / S h o r t h a n d f o r s e n d K e y s ( ) m e t h o d o f W e b D r i v e r .
$ ( " d i v " ) < < " a b c "
$ ( " i n p u t " , n a m e : " f o o " ) < < K e y s . c h o r d ( K e y s . C O N T R O L , " c " )

6 . 10
INTERACTION
Using ActionsAPI from WebDriver is possible.
But Geb provides the interactclosure

6 . 11
CONTROL-CLICKING
i m p o r t o r g . o p e n q a . s e l e n i u m . K e y s
i n t e r a c t {
k e y D o w n K e y s . C T R L
c l i c k $ ( " a . m y L i n k " )
k e y U p K e y s . C T R L
}

SIMULATE DRAG-N-DROP
i n t e r a c t {
c l i c k A n d H o l d ( $ ( ' # d r a g g a b l e ' ) )
m o v e B y O f f s e t ( 1 5 0 , 2 0 0 )
r e l e a s e ( )
}
Or easier
i n t e r a c t {
d r a g A n d D r o p B y ( $ ( " # d r a g g a b l e " ) , 1 5 0 , 2 0 0 )
}

6 . 12
MORE INTERACTION WITH FORMS
Consider the following HTML…
< f o r m >
< i n p u t t y p e = " t e x t " n a m e = " g e b " v a l u e = " F u n c t i o n a l " / >
< / f o r m >
The value can be read and written via property notation…
$ ( " f o r m " ) . g e b = = " F u n c t i o n a l "
$ ( " f o r m " ) . g e b = " T e s t i n g "
$ ( " f o r m " ) . g e b = = " T e s t i n g "
These are literally shortcuts for…
$ ( " f o r m " ) . f i n d ( " i n p u t " , n a m e : " g e b " ) . v a l u e ( ) = = " F u n c t i o n a l "
$ ( " f o r m " ) . f i n d ( " i n p u t " , n a m e : " g e b " ) . v a l u e ( " T e s t i n g " )
$ ( " f o r m " ) . f i n d ( " i n p u t " , n a m e : " g e b " ) . v a l u e ( ) = = " T e s t i n g "

STRUCTURING GEB TESTS

SCENARIO
Lets test a CRUD part of a grails application registrering
conference attendees
Lets test the following
1. Goto list of attendees page
2. Create new attendee (incl. invalid data once)
3. Update the attendee
4. Check data is updated

When some functionality is needed that is not exposed
through the browser, it can be necessary to interact with the
application under test.
