A web automation project to ease daily attendance in my Office Intranet System built using Selenium in Java.

This project explores Selenium as a Web Automation tool rather than UI Testing Tool. I have automated a task of daily attendance that I need to do in every working day before starting my office. Due to records of me missing attendance for multiple days, I wanted to automate this behavior, and finally succeeded.

Feels good waking up to this log every morning 😂

• Java 8 as programming language
• Maven for Package Management and Build Automation
• Selenium for Web Automation
• Resteasy as JAX-RS implementation for Restful Services

Basic understanding of Java with Maven.

Steps are listed below to get this project up and running in your development environment.

• Setup Java with JDK 1.8. For reference: Use this official Tutorial
• Setup Maven. Follow this link: Maven Setup
• Clone this repository in your target folder.

git clone https://github.com/bishwa-poudel/selenium-web-automation-example.git

• Now go to src/main/resources-filtered/intranet.sample.properties and rename the configuration file to intranet.properties. Also, give your LIS Intranet credentials in properties file.

Example:

# file: intranet.properties
#**************************** LIS Intranet Creds *************************

INTRANET_USERNAME=username     # Your username
INTRANET_PASSWORD=password     # Your password

• Finally run maven build command:

mvn clean install

• Once you see this message in the console, your build is ready. Goto target/lis-intranet-automation.war} to get the archived file.

Note: I have used WAR for packaging. If you want to build into the jar file, change the <packaging> inside pom.xml file to jar.

 <packaging>jar</packaging>

Now you can use any application server to deploy the archived java file. For this project I am using Wildfly v22.0.1

Congrats !!! You are now able to run the project in your own development environment.

Server automatically schedules intranet check in and check out time for the next day in every restart. There is also APIs exposed for manual check in and check out.
