Below is the code and explanation of JUnit Test with Selenium WebDriver in Java.

What is JUnit?

JUnit is a popular testing framework in Java used to write and run repeatable test cases. When integrated with Selenium WebDriver, JUnit helps automate UI/browser tests with setup and teardown capabilities.

Key JUnit Annotations:

Annotation	Purpose
@Before	Runs before each test method
@After	Runs after each test method
@BeforeClass	Runs once before all tests
@AfterClass	Runs once after all tests
@Test	Marks a test method
@Ignore	Ignores the test method

Simple Selenium Test with JUnit

Maven Dependencies in pom.xml

If you're using Maven, include below dependencies

<dependencies>
    <!-- Selenium WebDriver -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>4.20.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- JUnit 4 -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.13.2</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Full Example Using JUnit + Selenium

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class GoogleSearchTest {

    WebDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        // Set the path to your chromedriver executable if needed
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path/to/chromedriver");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
    }

    @Test
    public void testGoogleSearch() {
        // Navigate to Google
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");

        // Find the search box and enter text
        WebElement searchBox = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
        searchBox.sendKeys("JUnit Selenium");

        // Submit the search form
        searchBox.submit();

        // Wait for results and assert
        try {
            Thread.sleep(2000); // use WebDriverWait in real tests
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Check title contains the search keyword
        String title = driver.getTitle();
        assertTrue("Title should contain search term", title.contains("JUnit Selenium"));
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() {
        if (driver != null) {
            driver.quit(); // Close the browser
        }
    }
}

What This Code Does:

@Before: Sets up WebDriver before each test.
@Test: Opens Google, performs a search, and verifies the result.
@After: Quits the browser after each test.

To Run the Test:

If using IDE: Right-click > Run As > JUnit Test
If using Maven: Use mvn test (requires Surefire plugin)
