Answer the final exam and project based on my code...

Here’s a complete set of “answers” for your Final Exam and Project, built directly around your Nickatest.java Selenium script for https://www.saucedemo.com/.

You can copy-paste this into a Word/Google Doc and export as PDF for submission.

1. Short Test Plan

Project Title:
Automated Web Application Testing Using Selenium

Test Item:
Login page of the sample web application:
https://www.saucedemo.com/ (SauceDemo login page)

Features to be Tested:

1. Username and Password input fields

   • Accepting valid credentials
   • Handling invalid credentials
   • Handling empty input
   • Handling special characters

2. Login button

   • Click responsiveness
   • Triggering validation / authentication

3. Error message handling

   • Displaying an error when credentials are invalid
   • Displaying an error when fields are empty
   • Displaying an error when unexpected input (special characters) is used

---

Testing Techniques Used

• Black Box Testing

  • The Nickatest script interacts with the login page only via the UI (fields, button, and URL changes / error messages).
  • The internal implementation of the login logic on saucedemo.com is unknown, so the tests focus on inputs and outputs.

• Grey Box Testing

  • Assumptions are made about typical login behavior:
    • Valid user should be redirected to a products/dashboard page.
    • Invalid or missing credentials should trigger an error banner.
  • These assumptions influence which URLs and elements (/inventory, h3[data-test='error']) are checked.

• White Box Testing

  • No direct access to the web app’s source code was provided, so true white-box testing is limited.
  • However, the script is designed knowing Selenium and HTML structure (IDs and CSS selectors), which is a very light form of structural awareness.

---

Tools and Environment

• Automation Tool: Selenium WebDriver
• Language: Java
• Browser Driver: ChromeDriver
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\selenium webdriver\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");
• Browser: Google Chrome (latest stable)
• OS: (Fill in your OS, e.g. Windows 10 / 11)
• Test URL: https://www.saucedemo.com/

---

Entry & Exit Criteria (Short)

• Entry Criteria

  • Chrome and ChromeDriver installed and configured.
  • Internet connection available.
  • Web app (https://www.saucedemo.com/) is reachable.

• Exit Criteria

  • All automated test cases in Nickatest.java executed.
  • Pass/Fail result logged to the console for each test.
  • Any failures or errors noted for review.

---

2. Test Scenarios

Below is a concise table of scenarios matching the project instructions. Your current Nickatest.java already automates Test 1 and Test 2; Tests 3 and 4 are easy extensions.

Test ID	Scenario	Input	Expected Output
TC-01	Valid Login	Username: standard_user Password: secret_sauce	User is redirected to the inventory/dashboard page (/inventory in URL).
TC-02	Invalid Login (wrong pass)	Username: standard_user Password: wrongpass123	Error message banner is displayed on the login page.
TC-03	Empty Fields	Username: empty Password: empty	Error message is displayed indicating that username/password is required.
TC-04	Special Characters in Fields	Username: !@#$% Password: !@#$%	Login fails and an error message is displayed on the login page.

Note for your report:

• Implemented in Nickatest.java: TC-01, TC-02
• Planned / suggested additional tests: TC-03, TC-04

3. Automated Selenium Script (Java)

Below is an expanded version of your Nickatest.java that covers all four scenarios (you can keep only the two you already have if your instructor only requires those).

java
package Nickapackage;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Nickatest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set path to your ChromeDriver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                "C:\\selenium webdriver\\chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        // Test website
        String baseUrl = "https://www.saucedemo.com/";

        // ===== TEST 1: VALID LOGIN =====
        try {
            driver.get(baseUrl);

            WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("user-name"));
            WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
            WebElement loginBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("login-button"));

            username.clear();
            password.clear();
            username.sendKeys("standard_user");
            password.sendKeys("secret_sauce");
            loginBtn.click();

            Thread.sleep(2000);

            // Successful login leads to /inventory page
            if (driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("inventory")) {
                System.out.println("TEST 1 (Valid Login): PASS");
            } else {
                System.out.println("TEST 1 (Valid Login): FAIL");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("TEST 1 ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
        }

        // ===== TEST 2: INVALID LOGIN (wrong password) =====
        try {
            driver.get(baseUrl);

            WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("user-name"));
            WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
            WebElement loginBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("login-button"));

            username.clear();
            password.clear();
            username.sendKeys("standard_user");
            password.sendKeys("wrongpass123");
            loginBtn.click();

            Thread.sleep(2000);

            WebElement errorMsg = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("h3[data-test='error']"));
            if (errorMsg.isDisplayed()) {
                System.out.println("TEST 2 (Invalid Login): PASS");
            } else {
                System.out.println("TEST 2 (Invalid Login): FAIL");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("TEST 2 ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
        }

        // ===== TEST 3: EMPTY FIELDS =====
        try {
            driver.get(baseUrl);

            WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("user-name"));
            WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
            WebElement loginBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("login-button"));

            username.clear();
            password.clear();
            // Do not type anything, leave both fields empty
            loginBtn.click();

            Thread.sleep(2000);

            WebElement errorMsg = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("h3[data-test='error']"));
            if (errorMsg.isDisplayed()) {
                System.out.println("TEST 3 (Empty Fields): PASS");
            } else {
                System.out.println("TEST 3 (Empty Fields): FAIL");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("TEST 3 ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
        }

        // ===== TEST 4: SPECIAL CHARACTERS =====
        try {
            driver.get(baseUrl);

            WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("user-name"));
            WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
            WebElement loginBtn = driver.findElement(By.id("login-button"));

            username.clear();
            password.clear();
            username.sendKeys("!@#$%");
            password.sendKeys("!@#$%");
            loginBtn.click();

            Thread.sleep(2000);

            WebElement errorMsg = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("h3[data-test='error']"));
            if (errorMsg.isDisplayed()) {
                System.out.println("TEST 4 (Special Characters): PASS");
            } else {
                System.out.println("TEST 4 (Special Characters): FAIL");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("TEST 4 ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
        }

        // Close browser at the end
        driver.quit();
    }
}

If you only want to keep your original code, just keep the first two try blocks (TEST 1 and TEST 2), which already match what you wrote.

4. Screenshots / Evidence (What to Capture)

When you run Nickatest.java, capture these as required:

1. Screenshot 1 – Test Plan document

   • Take a screenshot of the first page of your Test Plan + Test Scenarios document (the one you’ll convert to PDF).

2. Screenshot 2 – Selenium script running

   • Your IDE/terminal showing Nickatest.java executing (console visible).

3. Screenshot 3 – Browser showing test results

   • Example:
     • For TEST 1: Browser on the /inventory page after successful login.
     • For TEST 2/3/4: Browser showing the red error banner on the login page.

4. Screenshot 4 – Console output

   • Console showing lines such as:
     • TEST 1 (Valid Login): PASS
     • TEST 2 (Invalid Login): PASS
     • etc.

You’ll place these images in a folder like screenshots/ inside your submission folder.

---

5. Final Output / Submission Structure

Suggested folder layout:

• Final_Project/
  • Test_Plan_and_Scenarios.pdf ← contains Sections 1–2 above
  • Nickatest.java ← your Selenium script file
  • screenshots/
    • screenshot1_test_plan.png
    • screenshot2_running_script.png
    • screenshot3_browser_result.png
    • screenshot4_console_output.png
  • Reflection.txt (or include in the PDF)

---

6. Short Reflection (3–5 sentences)

You can use or adapt this:

During this project I learned how to use Selenium WebDriver and Java to automate basic web application tests, specifically around login functionality. I saw how black-box testing focuses on inputs and outputs without needing access to the internal code. Writing separate test cases for valid and invalid logins helped me think more systematically about edge cases such as empty fields and special characters. I also gained practical experience with locators (IDs and CSS selectors) and handling error messages in an automated way, which will be useful for larger testing projects in the future.

---

This covers all the pieces your Final Exam and Project description asks for (test plan, scenarios, Selenium code, evidence, reflection), tailored to your existing Nickatest.java script and the SauceDemo login page. (Final Exam and Project -Application Development and Emerging Technologies (1).pdf)

Gotcha—that makes sense. The instructor wants the Java code structure to line up clearly with the four scenarios in the Test Scenarios table (Valid Login, Invalid Login, Empty Fields, Special Characters). (Final Exam and Project -Application Development and Emerging Technologies (1).pdf)

Below is a Nickatest.java version that:

• Uses one clearly labeled method per scenario
• Uses SauceDemo (https://www.saucedemo.com/) with your locators
• Prints results with the same scenario names as your table

You can drop this into your project and adjust the package name / ChromeDriver path if needed.

How this maps to your exam’s Scenario Table

From your PDF:

• Valid Login → runValidLoginScenario()
• Invalid Login → runInvalidLoginScenario()
• Empty Fields → runEmptyFieldsScenario()
• Special Characters → runSpecialCharactersScenario() (Final Exam and Project -Application Development and Emerging Technologies (1).pdf)

In your write-up, you can literally say:
“Each row in the Test Scenarios table is implemented as a separate scenario method in Nickatest.java (Scenario 1–4).”

If you want, I can also help you add small comments at the top of each method that you can screenshot as evidence for the mapping.
