Galen UI LAYOUT automation testing with Cucumber & Java

Explore how to integrate the Galen UI layout framework with Cucumber and Gherkin feature files, adding validations and creating Galen specification files without Java coding.

Learn how the Galen Java test runner uses the trainer to execute tests, and how to specify feature file paths to run specific tests, including Jenkins job setup.

Learn how to add the galen dependency to any project, allowing the build to download the framework files and expose galen classes such as layout report and test info.

Identify and annotate web elements as Galen objects to validate their layout. Use id, name, or class selectors for email, password, and login button inside the container, following backfill example.

Learn how Galen ranges define user interface element constraints by naming elements (email, password, login button) and checking width or relative percentages for validation.

Explore Galen specifications for layout validations, verifying email, password, login button, and loading container alignment and text on the Facebook login page.

Run Galen UI layout tests in IntelliJ IDEA with Cucumber and Java, executing feature files and generating Galen reports, using Cucumber, Galen, or Maven run configurations.

Locate and read Galen reports from cucumber scenarios, view heat maps, and review per-scenario validations. Identify passing and failing results and diagnose syntax or locator issues via stack traces.

Configure the Jenkins job to use only the cucumber json for Galen and enable per-run artifacts, then run a script to fix report display and view accurate cucumber reports.

Create a new IntelliJ IDEA test for a Udemy login with Cucumber and Java. Copy and adapt a Facebook test, update feature files and page objects, then run Cucumber reports.

Explore how the framework unifies UI layout automation testing with cucumber and java, improves coverage and functional testing, and previews upcoming tutorials and next steps.
