We all write automated tests using Selenium WebDriver and Java. While developing and testing our automation code, we run it locally on our computers. Others should be able to change or run the code as well. This becomes possible when the code is added to a repository, from which other people can also access it. Once the code is in a repository, it can be executed in a CI/CD environment - such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps - through pipelines. This is the focus of this course. 

In this course, we will add a local automation project built with Java, TestNG, and Selenium to an Azure DevOps project, share the repository with other people and run its tests through pipelines.

Thanks for the exemplary course.
It explains clearly the steps and concepts needed for running Java tests in Azure Devops. 
It was easy to learn and very helpful for my job search.

Very helpful course!

I acquired a lot of knowledge and ideas that I can use in my day-to-day work.
I am very pleased with this course and highly recommend it to fellow testers.

Very pleased with this course!

Enjoyed learning about using a strong framework for test automation,  using Docker to run tests and deploying containers on Azure. Overall, a very useful and interesting course for anyone using test automation!

A very useful and interesting course!

Run Selenium Java Tests In Azure DevOps

It is not efficient to have the browser name hard-coded in the pipeline YAML code as follows:


 - task: Bash@3
   inputs:
      targetType: 'inline'
      script: 'export BROWSER=chrome'


Hard-coding the value in the YAML code means that we will have to change the code when we decide to run the tests on a different browser such as Firefox or Edge.


Instead, we should create a pipeline variable and use its value for the environment variable.


# Create the pipeline variable

1. In the pipeline editor page, click the **Variables** button to open the Variables popup.

2. Click the **New variable** button.
3. Type `BROWSER` in the `Name` field and `chrome` in the `Value` field.
4. Click **OK** to save the variable.
5. Click **SAVE** to save the changes.
