What is Maven?

• Softwareproject-Management-Tool to maintain and manage the project
• Build-Management-Tool for Java Frameworks

Why?

1. Central Maven Repository to get Dependencies
   Maven visits the website, downloads the needed jars and places it in the build path.
   e.g. Selenium Jars
   just find Selenium Repository
   

2. Maintaining common structure for all
   One common template across the organisation
   this is the empty skeleton:
   

3. Flexiblity in integrating with CI Tools
   e.g. Maven Commands wich are supported by Jenkins

4. PlugsIns for Test Framework execution
   TestNG, JUnit

Vocablary

groupId : unique identifier (e.g. Selenium)
artifactId: sub-project of Group ID (e.g. Selenium-Java, a jar name)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>3.141.59</version>
</dependency>

You can pass all this details and publish it in Maven, then other persons can simply clone it with groupId and artifactId.
Keyword 'test' has to be at the end of each javaclass-file, e.g. SeleniumTest.java.

Install & configure Maven

Download Maven and install

Configure Windows

CLI: mvn (for maven) ---> not found
java -v (for java -version) --> shows you your java version
navigate to Enviroment Variables and set the Path to the Maven Bin Folder. further Information

Create Maven Project in Eclipse

Let it use default Workspace
Use maven-archetype-quickstart template

Fill your POM.xml -File

1. Get the Dependencies from Maven Repository Go to the maven repository and get each Dependency and put it inside the Dependencies
2. Integrate sureFire Plugin to execute all your testcases in your project

to execute from CLI

(where POM.xml is laying)

• mvn clean (to clean project)
• mvn compile (to check for syntax errors)
• mvn test (first checks dependencies

Integration of TestNG

Switching Test with Maven profiling
