For the successful execution of Agile testing requirements, a perfect test automation tool is required. And there are numerous factors to consider when creating a solid automation framework. One such component is reporting, which not only informs you of the success or failure of the project but also assists you in identifying potential bugs. JUnit is another useful framework that can add the ability to generate reports in Selenium. This tutorial explains the steps to generate the JUnit Report.
Pre-Requisite:
- Java 8 or higher installed
- Maven is installed
- Eclipse or IntelliJ are installed
This framework consists of:
- Selenium – 4.3
- Java 11
- JUnit4 – 4.13.2
- Maven – 3.8.1
- Maven Site Plugin – 3.12.0
- Maven Surefire Report Plugin – 3.0.0.M6
Project Structure
Steps to generate JUnit4 Report with Selenium
- Add Maven Site Plugin and Maven Surefire Report plugin to the Maven project
- Create Pages and Test Code for the pages
- Run the tests from Command Line
- JUnit Report generation

Implementation Steps
Step 1 – Add Maven Site Plugin and Maven Surefire Report plugin to the Maven project

Step 2 – Create Pages and Test Code for the pages
Below is the sample project which uses Selenium and JUnit which is used to generate a JUnit Report.
This is the BaseClass that contains the PageFactory.initElements. The initElements is a static method of PageFactory class that is used to initialize all the web elements located by @FindBy annotation.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.PageFactory;
public class BasePage {
public WebDriver driver;
public BasePage(WebDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(driver,this);
}
}
Below is the code for LoginPage and HomePage.
LoginPage
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
public class LoginPage extends BasePage{
public LoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}
@FindBy(name = "username")
public WebElement userName;
@FindBy(name = "password")
public WebElement password;
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[1]/div/span")
public WebElement missingUsernameErrorMessage;
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[1]/div/span")
public WebElement missingPasswordErrorMessage;
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/form/div[3]/button")
public WebElement login;
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div[1]/p")
public WebElement errorMessage;
public void login(String strUserName, String strPassword) {
userName.sendKeys(strUserName);
password.sendKeys(strPassword);
login.click();
}
public String getMissingUsernameText() {
return missingUsernameErrorMessage.getText();
}
public String getMissingPasswordText() {
return missingPasswordErrorMessage.getText();
}
public String getErrorMessage() {
return errorMessage.getText();
}
}
HomePage
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
public class HomePage extends BasePage {
public HomePage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@id='app']/div[1]/div[1]/header/div[1]/div[1]/span/h6")
public WebElement homePageUserName;
public String getHomePageText() {
return homePageUserName.getText();
}
}
Here, we have BaseTests Class also which contains the common methods needed by other test pages.
import java.time.Duration;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
public class BaseTests {
public static WebDriver driver;
public final static int TIMEOUT = 10;
@Before
public void setup() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(TIMEOUT));
}
@After
public void tearDown() {
driver.quit();
}
}
LoginPageTests
import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Test;
public class LoginPageTests extends BaseTests{
@Test
public void invalidCredentials() {
LoginPage objLoginPage = new LoginPage(driver);
objLoginPage.login("admin$$", "admin123");
// Verify Error Message
Assert.assertEquals("Invalid credentials",objLoginPage.getErrorMessage());
}
@Test
public void validLogin() {
LoginPage objLoginPage = new LoginPage(driver);
objLoginPage.login("Admin", "admin123");
HomePage objHomePage = new HomePage(driver);
// Verify Home Page
Assert.assertEquals("Dashboard",objHomePage.getHomePageText());
}
@Test
public void missingUsername() {
LoginPage objLoginPage = new LoginPage(driver);
objLoginPage.login("", "admin123");
// Verify Error Message
Assert.assertEquals("Invalid credentials",objLoginPage.getMissingUsernameText());
}
}
Step 3 – Run the tests from Command Line
Use the below command to run the tests from the command line
mvn clean test site
The output of the test execution is
Step 4 – JUnit Report generation
Maven Site Plugin creates a folder – site under the target directory, and the Maven Surefire Report plugin generates the JUnit Reports in the site folder.
Right-click on the surefire-report.html and open it in the browser.
To know about the test failure, go to the Failure Details Section.
Congratulations on making it through this tutorial and hope you found it useful! Happy Learning!! Cheers!!
