ASP.NET Lightweight Automation Framework - Add, Edit, Delete (3/3)

In the last post, we discussed about LAF & how to test a page with list on it. We did paging, sort, and simple display. Now in this post I will show you how to do a test for Add/Edit and Delete.

Here is the code for testing Add Customer functionality from the UI. The essence of the code is that after navigating to the Customer List page, we click on the "New Customer" link with an expectation that the new customer form will show (so we verify it). Then after the form shows, fill it in with information and click "Save" button. This then should close the form and redisplay the list with the new Customer in it - so we verify that it is in there. At this point, our Add is already working. I included at the same time, a test for common edit & deletion.

[WebTestMethod]
public void AddCustomer()
{
    HtmlPage page = new HtmlPage("");

    // navigate to Customer
    page.Navigate("/Customer/");

    // Verify search result
    HtmlTableElement gridView = (HtmlTableElement)page.Elements.Find("CustomerListingTable");
    Assert.IsNotNull(gridView);

    // click new Customer
    page.Elements.Find("a", "New Customer", 0).Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // verify new form exists
    Assert.IsTrue(page.Elements.Find("CustomerDetail").IsVisible());
    Assert.IsTrue(page.Elements.Exists("Cancel"));

    // enter information
    page.Elements.Find("FirstName").SetText("AFIRST");
    page.Elements.Find("LastName").SetText("ALAST");
    page.Elements.Find("MiddleInitial").SetText("A");
    page.Elements.Find("DoB").SetText("1/1/1999");
    page.Elements.Find("TitleId").SetSelectedIndex(0);

    // click submit
    page.Elements.Find("Save").Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // verify entry in list
    Assert.IsFalse(page.Elements.Find("CustomerDetail").IsVisible());
    Assert.IsTrue(gridView.Rows[1].Cells[(int)ColumnNames.LastName].GetInnerText() == "ALAST");

    // click detail
    gridView.Rows[1].Cells[0].ChildElements[0].Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // click edit
    page.Elements.Find("a", "Edit", 0).Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // edit information
    page.Elements.Find("FirstName").SetText("AFIRSTUPDATED");
    page.Elements.Find("LastName").SetText("ALASTUPDATED");
    page.Elements.Find("MiddleInitial").SetText("B");
    page.Elements.Find("DoB").SetText("2/2/2000");
    page.Elements.Find("TitleId").SetSelectedIndex(1);

    // click submit
    page.Elements.Find("Update").Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // verify entry in list
    Assert.IsFalse(page.Elements.Find("IdentityDetail").IsVisible());
    Assert.IsTrue(gridView.Rows[1].Cells[(int)ColumnNames.LastName].GetInnerText() == "AFIRSTUPDATED");

    // click detail
    gridView.Rows[1].Cells[0].ChildElements[0].Click(WaitFor.None);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // click delete with confirm 
    page.Elements.Find("a", "Delete", 0).Click(new CommandParameters(WaitFor.None, PopupAction.ConfirmOK));
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

    // verify
    Assert.IsTrue(gridView.Rows[1].Cells[(int)ColumnNames.LastName].GetInnerText() != "ALAST");
}

This is a very rudimentary test only testing best case scenarios where add, edit, and delete are successful. In my project, I also build tests for if there are any error during saving, or business rules violations, when somebody hit cancel, etc. But, the simple example above should provide enough basis to be built on top of for those other tests.
