Testing the user interface for any application is generally time-consuming when done for each new release. UI test automation is the most common and effective way to simulate the actual user journey and business use-cases for any application.
In this course, you will learn how to design a test automation framework from scratch for automating any web-based application using Java, Selenium, and TestNG. You’ll start by learning the basics of Selenium and TestNG and then move on to learn about build management, logging, and reporting, which are key learnings for any QA engineer or developer. By the end of this course, you will have successfully created a UI test automation framework.

Design a Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java

Below is a guide to create a distribution RELEASE version of the automation library.

For demonstration, we will be using **Gradle**.

# Tasks to be added in `build.gradle`

```

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.educative.core-automation'
version = '1.0.0-RELEASE'
jar.baseName = 'ui-automation-lib'

task javadocJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: javadoc) {
    classifier = "javadoc"
    from javadoc.destinationDir
}

task sourcesJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: classes) {
    classifier = "sources"
    from sourceSets.main.allSource
}

if (JavaVersion.current().isJava8Compatible()) {
    allprojects {
      tasks.withType(Javadoc) {
        options.addStringOption("Xdoclint:none", "-quiet")
      }
    }
}

artifacts {
    archives sourcesJar
    archives javadocJar
}

uploadArchives {
    repositories {
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "<maven-url>") {
                authentication(userName: "<username>", password: "<password>")
            }
        }
    }
}

```

# Generating the test Framework Jar
After running the below command:
```
./gradlew clean build -x test 
```

The project will be cleaned, compiled and the distribution jar will be created along with Javadoc and sources at `${project.dir}/build/libs`

            }
        }
    }
}

```

# Generating the test Framework Jar
After running the below command:
```
./gradlew clean build -x test 
```

The project will be cleaned, compiled and the distribution jar will be created along with Javadoc and sources at `＄{project.dir}/build/libs`


In this lesson, we will lear to create a framework jar and upload it to an artifactory.
