Requirements

In order to use QTAF, you will need:

Maven 3.8.6 or better
Java 17 or better

Quick start

The easiest way to start using QTAF is by including it in a Maven project's dependencies. To include QTAF as a testing dependency, add the following lines to your project's pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.qytera</groupId>
    <artifactId>qtaf-core</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Afterwards, simply run mvn install to automatically download and make available QTAF and its dependencies from Maven's Central Repository.

Example Usage

Having QTAF installed, using it is very straightforward. A very basic, page-object-based example for testing https://duckduckgo.com could look like this:

open https://duckduckgo.com
enter test automation into the search area
click on the search button
assert that the result page's title contains the search term test automation

The test case visualized.

The test can be realized with two classes: one for the page object and one for the test cases. The complete project can be found here.
