JAVA_HOME<\/code> variable in your system path.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2: Install Maven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Download Maven and extract it to a local directory. Add Maven to your system path. Confirm the installation by running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mvn -version<\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Install Jenkins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Download Jenkins and run it as a service. Open the Jenkins dashboard in your browser and complete the setup wizard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a Selenium Project with Maven<\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Create a Maven Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Use the following command to generate a standard project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mvn archetype:generate<\/pre>\n\n\n\nSelect a quick start archetype and define group and artifact values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Add Selenium Dependencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open the pom.xml<\/code> file and add the Selenium library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium<\/groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java<\/artifactId>
<version>4.x.x<\/version>
<\/dependency><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 3: Add Test Framework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most teams use TestNG or JUnit for test structure. Add the dependency to the same file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This setup allows Maven to manage all required files during Selenium automation testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Writing Your First Automated Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Create a test class that opens a browser, visits a website, and checks the page title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(\"https:\/\/example.com\");
String title = driver.getTitle();
assert title.contains(\"Example\");
driver.quit();<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis simple test confirms that your Selenium software testing setup works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running Tests with Maven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Use the command below to run all tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mvn test<\/pre>\n\n\n\nMaven compiles the project, downloads dependencies, and executes test cases. This process forms the core of the Maven & Jenkins workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Configuring Jenkins for Selenium Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Create a New Job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In Jenkins, select \u201cNew Item\u201d and choose a freestyle or pipeline project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Connect Source Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Link your Git repository so Jenkins can access your Selenium tutorial project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Add Build Step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Set the build command to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mvn clean test<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis command triggers Selenium automation testing on every build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a Pipeline Script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pipeline scripts allow teams to define steps in a structured file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
sh 'mvn clean test'
}
}
}
}<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis script shows how Maven & Jenkins connect in a clean workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generating and Publishing Test Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Jenkins supports report plugins such as Allure and HTML Publisher. These tools convert raw test results into clear dashboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benefits of Reports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
