Example Projects

Xceptance provides several open-source projects on GitHub to help you get started with Neodymium, whether you prefer a clean slate, a BDD approach, or want to see specific features in action.

Neodymium Template

• Repository: neodymium-template
• Best for: New projects.

The Neodymium Template is the recommended starting point for most users. It provides a clean, pre-configured structure with:

• Standard directory layout.
• Maven configuration (POM).
• Basic properties files.
• A “Hello World” style test.
• Examples for both Page Object Model and Cucumber.

Use this as a foundation to build your own test automation project.

Neodymium Example (Pure Java)

• Repository: neodymium-example
• Best for: Learning patterns for standard Java-based tests.

This project demonstrates a complete test suite for the Xceptance Posters demo store. It uses:

• Page Object Model (POM) for maintainability.
• Pure Java (Standard JUnit/Selenide) without Cucumber.
• Extensive examples of flow interactions and validations.

Neodymium Cucumber Example

• Repository: neodymium-cucumber-example
• Best for: BDD (Behavior Driven Development) enthusiasts.

If you prefer Gherkin syntax and BDD, this example demonstrates:

• Integrating Cucumber with Neodymium.
• Feature files, step definitions, and runners.
• Structuring a BDD project effectively.

Neodymium Showcase

• Repository: neodymium-showcase
• Best for: Advanced features and recipes.

The Showcase is a collection of specific “how-to” examples. It covers advanced topics that aren’t always in the basic templates, such as:

• PDF content validation.
• Email testing (XcMailr).
• Shadow DOM interaction.
• Working with iframes.
• File downloads.

Neodymium

• Repository: neodymium
• Best for: Contributors and deep divers.

The core library itself. This repository contains the source code, allowing you to understand internal mechanics or contribute to the framework.
