This repository is a workshop for learning how to automate AI-backed web tests as part of a typical front-end development workflow. It provides all the the instructions and example code for the workshop.

The test automation project uses:

• Java as the programming language
• Selenium WebDriver for browser automation
• Cucumber-JVM with JUnit 5 as the core test framework
• Google Chrome as the local browser for testing
• Apache Maven for dependency management
• Applitools Eyes SDK for visual assertions
• Applitools Ultrafast Grid for cross-browser execution
• Applitools Execution Cloud for self-healing remote WebDriver sessions

To complete this workshop, you will need:

1. An Applitools account, which you can register for free.
2. The Java Development Kit (JDK), version 8 or higher.
3. A good Java editor, such as JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.
4. Apache Maven (typically bundled with IDEs).
5. An up-to-date version of Google Chrome.
6. A corresponding version of ChromeDriver.

The workshop folder contains full instructions for the workshop. This repository also has multiple branches:

• The main branch in this repository contains the completed example code.
• Each section/* branch contains the version of the code for each section of the workshop.

To execute tests, set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable to your account's API key, and then run:

mvn test
