Integrating with Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs is a popular cloud-hosted, web and mobile application automated testing tool which is being used by many companies.
Bumblebee provides a simple way to integrate HP ALM with Sauce Labs and allows users to:

  • Fetch test metadata from Sauce Labs and publish it in HP ALM
  • Update actual status of a test in Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs Connection Details

There are two ways to configure SauceLabs connection details

1. Bumblebee Config File Add the following element in the bumblebee_config.xml file:

<remoteTestTool>
    <saucelabs>     
        <user>username</user>
        <apiKey>apikey123</apiKey>
    </saucelabs>
</remoteTestTool>
where user is your SauceLabs username and apiKey is your SauceLab user's API key. By default, Bumblebee will use https://saucelabs.com as a base URL for Sauce Labs REST API calls. It can be changed by adding url element int saucelabs element:

<remoteTestTool>
    <saucelabs>
        <url>https://someotherurl</url>
        <user>username</user>
        <apiKey>apikey123</apiKey>
    </saucelabs>
</remoteTestTool>

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bumblebee>
    <!-- URL of the Bumblebee Server -->
    <bumblebee_url>http://server_name:port/bumblebee</bumblebee_url>
    <!-- URL of HP ALM Server -->
    <alm_url>http://server_name:port/qcbin</alm_url>
    <!-- Name of HP ALM User -->
    <alm_user>qcuser</alm_user>
    <!-- Encrypted password: please use http://server_name:port/bumblebee/password/encrypt to encrypt your plain text password  -->
    <alm_encrypted_pass>fd4OMOXLJjkMR6e64RJh3Q==</alm_encrypted_pass>
    <!-- HP ALM Domain -->
    <alm_domain>DEFAULT</alm_domain>
    <!-- HP ALM Project -->
    <alm_project>annotations_demo</alm_project>
    <!-- Asynchronous (offline) update -->
    <async_update>true</async_update>
    <remoteTestTool>
        <saucelabs>         
            <user>username</user>
            <apiKey>apikey123</apiKey>
        </saucelabs>
    </remoteTestTool>
</bumblebee>

2. JAVA System Properties There are three JAVA system properties for setting Sauce Labs connection details:

  • bumblebee.saucelabs_url: Sauce Labs base URL. If this not set, Bumblebee will use the value from XML configuration or https://saucelabs.com
  • bumblebee.saucelabs_user: Sauce Labs username.
  • bumblebee.saucelabs_apiKey: Sauce Labs username's API key.

Values passed as system properties override values in XML configuration.

JUnit Configuration

In order to allow Bumblebee send Sauce Labs test data, add an instance of com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.BumblebeeRule to the test class.

In addition, test methods must use WebDriver object, associated with that BumblebeeRule.
It can be obtained by calling BumblebeeRule.getWebDriver() method.

com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.BumblebeeRuleBuilder can be used for easier creation of BumblebeeRule.

Example: How to use JUnit BumblebeeRule for Sauce Labs integration:

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.Bumblebee;
import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.BumblebeeRule;
import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.BumblebeeRuleBuilder;

@Bumblebee(testplan = "Subject\\webdriver", testlab = "Root\\webdriver", testset = "saucelabs")
public class WebDriverTest {
    private static final String USERNAME = "user";
    private static final String AUTOMATE_KEY = "api-key";
    private static final String URL = "http://" + USERNAME + ":" + AUTOMATE_KEY + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub";

    @Rule
    public BumblebeeRule rule = new BumblebeeRuleBuilder(() -> {
        try {
            return new RemoteWebDriver(new java.net.URL(URL), DesiredCapabilities.firefox());
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }).setTakeScreenshotOnFailure(true).build();

    @Test
    public void testPass() {
        rule.getWebDriver().get("http://agiletestware.com");
        Assert.assertEquals("Agiletestware - Software for QA and Development Tools", rule.getWebDriver().getTitle());
    }

    @Test
    public void testFail() {
        rule.getWebDriver().get("http://agiletestware.com");
        Assert.assertEquals("Something wrong", rule.getWebDriver().getTitle());
    }

}

TestNG Configuration

To integrate with Sauce Labs, add com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.testng.BumblebeeTestNGListener listener to the project XML file.

Here is an example of a pom.xml file:

Implementing com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.WebDriverTest interface

It is required for a test class to implement com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.WebDriverTest interface which contains only one method - getWebDriver().
This method returns a RemoteWebDriver instance which is used by test.

Example: TestNG SauceLabs integration:

import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.BooleanValue;
import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.Bumblebee;
import com.agiletestware.bumblebee.annotations.webdriver.WebDriverTest;

@Bumblebee(testplan = "Subject\\webdriver", testlab = "Root\\webdriver", testset = "saucelabs")
public class RemoteWebDriverTest implements WebDriverTest {

    private static final String USERNAME = "userName";
    private static final String AUTOMATE_KEY = "key";
    private static final String URL = "http://" + USERNAME + ":" +
            AUTOMATE_KEY + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub";
    private RemoteWebDriver webDriver;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() {       
        try {
            webDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(new java.net.URL(URL), DesiredCapabilities.firefox());
        } catch (final Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testOne() {
        webDriver.get("http://agiletestware.com");
        Assert.assertEquals(webDriver.getTitle(), "Agiletestware - Software for QA and Development Tools");
    }

    @Test
    public void testTwo() {
        webDriver.get("http://agiletestware.com");
        Assert.assertEquals(webDriver.getTitle(), "Something wrong");
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void after() {
        webDriver.quit();
    }

    @Override
    public RemoteWebDriver getWebDriver() {
        return webDriver;
    }
}

Disabling updating of status in Sauce Labs (since version 0.0.6)

To disable BrowserStack status update, just add <updateStatus>false</updateStatus> element into <saucelabs> element:

<remoteTestTool>
    <saucelabs>     
        <user>username</user>
        <apiKey>apikey123</apiKey>
        <updateStatus>false</updateStatus>
    </saucelabs>
</remoteTestTool>

The following log message will be added to log: Bumblebee: Updating status in Sauce Labs is disabled in configuration --> skipping Sauce Labs status update
