Appian Selenium API

Overview

The library contains methods which allow you to interact with Appian components in a browser. It can be used in a Java application or integrated directly into any Selenium or Java-based testing tool.

Appian Selenium API contains the methods that are at the core of both Cucumber for Appian and FitNesse for Appian. If you are familiar with either Appian’s FitNesse or Cucumber tools then you are already familiar with the methods provided by the Appian Selenium API. For example, the table below shows the corresponding FitNesse and Cucumber methods for the same underlying Appian Selenium API method.

Appian Selenium API

loginWithUsernameAndPassword(jString userName, String password)

FitNesse for Appian

| login with username | USERNAME | and password | PASSWORD |

Cucumber for Appian

Given I login with username "USERNAME" and password "PASSWORD"

Note: Java 11 required for plugin version 23.4
