Welcome to Arquillian Graphene - Testing Ajax with flavour of sexy type-safe API

Graphene project is designed as enhancement of Selenium project focused on rapid development andusability in Java environment.

• API is straightforward and enforces tester to write Ajax-enabled tests,
• internals enables JQuery location strategy, which improves performance of the tests,
• brings concepts for on-the-fly injection of own selenium extensions and also extensions to page code (enabling advanced testing features)
• allows command interception and request interception,
• it brings type-safe equivalent of Selenium version 1.x, enabling auto-completion and rapid development style,
• integrates with Arquillian using Arquillian Drone extension.

With all the concepts above, Graphene brings new power to space of enterprise Java-based testing.

    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.8.2</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
 
<!-- Arquillian JUnit Standalone -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-junit-standalone</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
 
<!-- Graphene dependency chain - imports all other dependencies required -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.graphene</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-graphene</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Adding the Java test

To start with Graphene from beloved Java, you can write similar code:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class BasicTestCase {

    URL url = URLUtils.buildUrl("http://www.google.com/");
    
    @Drone
    GrapheneSelenium browser;

    @Test
    public void testOpeningHomePage() {
        browser.open(url);
    }
}
