❓ What is this Repository About?

This tutorial explores the Strategy Design Pattern, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in testing frameworks. It acts as a foundation for implementing dynamic behaviors in tests without modifying the core logic. By encapsulating algorithms within separate classes under a common interface, the Strategy Design Pattern enables scalable, maintainable, and highly adaptable test automation frameworks. By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand how to leverage this design pattern for more effective testing outcomes.

What Will You Learn?

• Introduction to the Strategy Design Pattern: Delve into the basics of the Strategy Design Pattern and its critical role in enhancing test automation strategies.
• Implementing Dynamic Behaviors in Tests: Step-by-step guidance on encapsulating finding strategies or waiting techniques within separate, interchangeable classes.
• Enhancing Test Framework Flexibility and Efficiency: Learn how to use the Strategy Design Pattern to create scalable, maintainable, and adaptable test automation frameworks.

🔑 What is the Strategy Design Pattern?

The Strategy Design Pattern allows for the dynamic interchange of algorithms in your testing library, enabling changes to finding strategies or element waiting techniques on-the-fly. This encapsulation of algorithms within separate classes, all interchangeable under a common interface, significantly boosts the test suite's flexibility and efficiency. This pattern is pivotal for developing scalable, maintainable, and highly adaptable test automation frameworks, facilitating easy adjustments and extensions to your testing strategy to meet evolving requirements.

Steps to Run Tests Locally in Visual Studio with C#

1. Open the Project: Launch Visual Studio and open your C# project.

2. Run Tests:

   • Single Test Method: Right-click on the test method name > Run Tests.
   • All Tests in a Test Class: Right-click on the test class file > Run Tests.

Running Tests on LambdaTest

To execute tests on LambdaTest, you need to set up environment variables in your Visual Studio test configurations:

• LT_USERNAME with your LambdaTest username.
• LT_ACCESS_KEY with your LambdaTest access key.

Configuring Test Settings in Visual Studio

1. Access Test Settings: Navigate to Test > Configure Run Settings > Select Solution Wide runsettings File for broader configurations or use the Test Explorer context menu for specific settings.
2. Set Environment Variables: In your .runsettings file or through the Test Explorer context menu, add your LambdaTest credentials.
   • Include <EnvironmentVariables> in your .runsettings file with LT_USERNAME and LT_ACCESS_KEY values.

Viewing Test Results

Test results are available in the Test Explorer window, providing information on passed and failed tests, execution times, and detailed error messages.
