Test Suite
XBrowser Testing template
Cross-browser testing is the process of verifying that a website or web application functions consistently across different browsers, devices, and operating systems. Its importance lies in ensuring a seamless user experience, regardless of the browser used, as different browsers may render web content differently due to variations in their engines and standards support. By conducting cross-browser testing, developers can identify and fix compatibility issues, improving accessibility and user satisfaction across a wider audience.
So far it was very hard to perform cross browser test with UiPath Test Suite as you had to create separate test cases for each browser and maintain different object repositories.
Within 2024, the UiAutomation team has added the capability to parametrize the browser scope – now, with this community release, we have also added a neat Test Case template for XBrowser Testing for convenience.
Here is how it works
-
Create a new Test Case and select the ‘XBrowser Test Template
-
After you hit ‘Create’ a new Test Case is generated, using this template. As you can see, it already has a ‘Set Browser Type’ activity at the top and a ‘Browser’ argument, to set the right runtime browser.
This is now a data-driven Test Case, which has all common browser names as data variations set.
By hitting ‘Update Test Data’ and ‘Modify File Data’, you can see all browsers used, and you can also edit them in case you do not want to use all of them.
-
When you now run your Test Case from Test Explorer, you will notice that it executes multiple times, once for every browser configured in your attached test data sheet.
So why is this relevant?
This greatly reduces the effort required for testing your browser app, as you now only have to create and maintain it once, but can execute it for each browser.
