Introduction:Magento 2 functional Testing

Magento 2 functional Testing Framework is the best practice for  QA and developers to test their module functionalities.

Here, I’ll explain how you can register in your Magento store if there are some extra fields on it.

I have tried it with Webkul’s best Magento add-on Multi-Vendor Marketplace. Which creates some custom attributes in the Magento default customer registration form.

Magento already provides Magento 2 functional Testing test cases for some basic functionalities like new customer creation, customer login, product creation, etc.

Here, I have written MFTF test cases for the Magento registration page which have 2 new fields one is text type and the other one is radio.

Create New Customer Account Page

For testing please set up all the required things as explained here. Magento has already provided a very well-explained User Guide for MFTF.

So, to learn MFTF please read Magento Functional Testing Framework Guide.

Note Please check the blog Prerequisite for Custom Modules with Magento Functional Testing Framework to learn the basic configurations you need to do before writing your custom module tests.

Here, I have written tests in multiple parts. It will be easy to write a test in this sequence.

Page  The Magento 2 functional Testing uses a modified concept of [PageObjects], which models the testing areas of your page as objects within the code.

Section: Section is a standard file for defining UI elements on a page used in a test.

Data– Data entities are required for the user inputs for your HTML fields.

Action Group:It is used when you need to perform the same sequence of actions multiple times

Test: It is a Codeception test container that contains multiple individual tests.

I have created my test MFTF folder at the given path MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace

Inside Magento 2 functional Testing folder there are 4 folders ActionGroup, Data, Section, and Test.

I am using an existing Magento page so, I have not created a Page folder and files related to that.

if you have any new pages to test then you must create a page folder as well.

Let’s start with the code

Page

First I need to create a page.  I am using the Magento default registration page.

I do not need to create it again as Magento already provides it StorefrontCustomerCreatePage.xml in MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/Page.

Let’s see the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
 /**
  * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
  * See COPYING.txt for license details.
  */
-->

<pages xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/Page/etc/PageObject.xsd">
    <page name="StorefrontCustomerCreatePage" url="/customer/account/create/" area="storefront" module="Magento_Customer">
    <section name="StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection"/>
    </page>
</pages>

The corresponding web page is generated by the Magento Customer module and is called by the baseUrl + backendName + customer/account/create/ URL.

The Storefront Customer Create Page declares only one [section]:

StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection located in the
Customer/Section/StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection.xml file

<section> contains the sequence of UI elements. Will explain the <section> in the next step.

Section

A section is a reusable part of a page. So, I have used the same section name and the same file name for my module section.

You’ll get the Magento default customer <section> file inside the MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/Section/StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection.xml

Let’s see the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
 /**
  * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
  * See COPYING.txt for license details.
  */
-->

<sections xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/Page/etc/SectionObject.xsd">
    <section name="StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection">
        <element name="firstnameField" type="input" selector="#firstname"/>
        <element name="lastnameField" type="input" selector="#lastname"/>
        <element name="emailField" type="input" selector="#email_address"/>
        <element name="passwordField" type="input" selector="#password"/>
        <element name="confirmPasswordField" type="input" selector="#password-confirmation"/>
        <element name="createAccountButton" type="button" selector="button.action.submit.primary" timeout="30"/>
    </section>
</sections>

A <section> name is a Unique section name identifier.
This <section> contains the sequence of UI elements in a section of the page MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/Page/StorefrontCustomerCreatePage.xml.
<element> is a UI element used in an action. Each element consists of a name, type, and selector.
<element> type is your HTML field type.
<element> selector is a CSS selector of your HTML field.

All the Signup fields selectors are here but my custom module’s fields are missing. So, I have created a file with the same name StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection.xml inside.

MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/Section/StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection.xml

Let’s see the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sections xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/Page/etc/SectionObject.xsd">
    <section name="StorefrontCustomerCreateFormSection">
        <element name="becomeSellerRadioButton" type="radio" selector="#wantpartner" timeout="30"/>
        <element name="shopUrlField" type="input" selector="#profileurl"/>
    </section>
</sections>

Here you can see that I have created 2 new elements required for my custom fields with the name “becomeSellerRadioButton” and “shopUrlField“.>

I have used Magento default customer user data to create a customer. You can create your own customer data or can do changes in the existing Magento customer data in (MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/Data/CustomerData.xml).

if you are using Magento provided Magento 2 functional Testing code then you don’t need to write the same code again. You can write only additional data in your code.

Here are the Magento MFTF code files available:
MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer

I have used some of the customer information from:
/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/Data/CustomerData.xml

Let’s see the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <data key="firstname">Jane</data>
    </entity>
</entities>

Magento has provided all the default customer information in the “CustomerData.xml” file.

Now here I have used only some of them like first name, last name, email, and password.

You can change these data according to your need.

<data key=”email” unique=”prefix”>[email protected]</data>
email defines the customer email address [email protected] with a unique prefix. Example: [email protected].

I have created a separate data file with the name “SellerData.xml” in

MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/Data to put the remaining data for my custom fields

Let’s see the code-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<entities xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/DataGenerator/etc/dataProfileSchema.xsd">
    <entity name="SellerEntityOne" type="seller">
        <data key="shopurl" unique="prefix">garment</data>
    </entity>
</entities>

In the customized signup form, I have 2 new input types radio and text. In input type “radio” 

I need to fill the new text field “profileurl” in the signup form. So, I need to create separate data for it and I have created <data> key “shopurl”.

“SellerEntityOne” is the name of the element <entity>. <entity> “type” is used later to find specific persistence.
<data> key “shopurl” defines the seller’s shopurl code garment with a unique prefix. Example: 598123365garment.

Action Group

I have created an <actionGroup> file “StorefrontCreateSellerActionGroup.xml” inside MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/ActionGroup

As I need to create sellers frequently for testing. I can reuse this group of action.

Let’s see the code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<actionGroups xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../vendor/magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework/src/Magento/FunctionalTestingFramework/Test/etc/actionGroupSchema.xsd">
    <actionGroup name="StorefrontCreateSeller">

        <see stepKey="seeWelcomeMessage" userInput="Thank you for registering with Main Website Store."/>
    </actionGroup>
</actionGroups>

name “StorefrontCreateSeller” is the identifier of the action group.
The <arguments> element is a wrapper for an array of <argument> elements.
<argument> name is identifier of an argument in the scope of the corresponding action group.
<argument> defaultValue provides a default data value. Here, I have used 2 defaultValue-
“customer” from MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Customer/DataCustomerData.xml. Its defined as type=“customer”
<entity name=”CustomerEntityOne” type=”customer”>
“seller” from MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/SellerData.xml. Its defined as type=”seller”
<entity name=”SellerEntityOne” type=”seller”>
The rest of the elements are action elements that are predefined.

Test

I have created test file “StorefrontSellerCreateTest.xml” inside MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/Test

Let’s see the code

        </actionGroup>
    </test>
</tests>

The <test> name is a unique identifier of your test.

<annotations> are essentially comments in the code. For more details please click here.
Here, I have used my <actionGroup> and reference to “StorefrontCreateSeller” name from

MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest/Marketplace/ActionGroup/StorefrontCreateSellerActionGroup.xml

<group value=”sellercreate”/> is used to run the particular test for this action group only.

Configuration

Now, you need to configure .env file under MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance. For the configuration, and for getting started please refer MFTF getting started guideline.

Commands Required to Run

After completing all the codes. You need to run the Selenium server in the terminal

java -jar <path_to_selenium_directory>/selenium-server-standalone-<version>.jar

Now go inside your MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance and generate your tests using the command

vendor/bin/robo generate:tests

Now, you can see a folder created with the name _generated inside MagentoRoot/dev/tests/acceptance/tests/functional/Magento/FunctionalTest

and run the command on the terminal to run your generated test

vendor/bin/robo group GroupValue

in my case, I ran the command vendor/bin/robo group sellecreate

 

To check your test case report with allure please run the command vendor/bin/robo allure2:open

That’s all about the MFTF for the custom signup form.
