<p style="padding-top: 20px">Now that you are aware of <a href="https://testsigma.com/automated-testing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Automation testing</a> and Selenium, let’s understand how to upload a file using Selenium.</p>



<h2 id="h-how-to-upload-a-file-using-selenium"><span id="How_to_Upload_a_File_Using_Selenium">How to Upload a File Using Selenium</span></h2>



<p>There are various methods to upload a file using <a href="https://testsigma.com/blog/selenium-based-automated-testing/#Selenium" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Selenium</a>. You can use locators, page object models, etc., to upload a file. In this case, let’s use locators and sendkeys method to upload a file. </p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px">Let’s take a scenario where you would like to upload a file to your Google mail account.</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px"> <strong>Step 1: </strong>Login into your <a href="https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?dsh=S1225345330%3A1673409110332214&amp;continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F&amp;rip=1&amp;sacu=1&amp;service=mail&amp;flowName=GlifWebSignIn&amp;flowEntry=ServiceLogin&amp;ifkv=AeAAQh4DjxZLNGSv3-JWm5KIOD6KBQVceZDdzd6ZqzcJhxp1kJeqd_EucKtlxkKoEt0qJMRMEGtugg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gmail</a> account.</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px"><strong>Step 2: </strong>Click on <strong>Compose</strong> button to compose an email.</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px"><strong>Step 3: </strong>Add a recipient </p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 30px"><strong>Step 4: </strong>Click the attach button to upload the file as shown in the below screenshot.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://images.storychief.com/account_36412/image_79fcf01b3fc61303995593c852d6f0d7_2000.png" alt="file-upload-upload-afile-using-selenium" width="600" height="400"/></figure></div>



<p style="padding-top: 30px">These are the manual steps carried out to upload a file.</p>



<p>Now let’s see how Selenium plays a vital role in testing the upload file functionality for a web application.</p>



<h3 id="h-selenium-into-action"><span id="Selenium_into_Action">Selenium into Action</span></h3>



<p>Let’s use locators in Selenium to locate the attachment button. In this case, I will be using XPath locator. </p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px"><strong>Step 1:</strong> Create a driver instance. In this case, I’d use <a href="https://chromedriver.chromium.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ChromeDriver</a>. </p>



<p style="padding-top: 10px"><strong>Note:</strong> Download the ChromeDriver compatible with your Google Chrome browser version. To configure ChromeDriver, refer to this blog on <a href="https://testsigma.com/blog/chromedriver-for-selenium/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ChromeDriver for Selenium</a>.</p>



<p style="padding-bottom: 20px">Below command is used to create a Google Chrome browser instance.</p>



<styled-code>
ebdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
</styled-code>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px"><strong>Step 2:</strong> Navigate to the Gmail account. Using the driver object, we will assign the path to </p>



<p>Gmail.driver.get(”<a href="https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin/identifier?service=mail&amp;passive=1209600&amp;osid=1&amp;continue=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fu%2F0%2F&amp;followup=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fu%2F0%2F&amp;emr=1&amp;ifkv=AeAAQh67qi67hERgy55hxwzyPbJokf2lAcZ8FsAKJ6EZ4ZMZmtgAMpzA4Y81SUo67izHbxBUdmqznw&amp;flowName=GlifWebSignIn&amp;flowEntry=ServiceLogin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.gmail.com</a>”)</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px"><strong>Step 3:</strong> Enter your credentials and login to your Gmail account. In this case, let’s use the id and name locators to locate the username and password. Here I am using Sendkeys method to send the values to the respective email and password field.</p>



<styled-code>
Web element username = 
driver.findElement(By.id(&#8220;identifierId”).sendkeys(”your_username”);
</styled-code>



<styled-code>
Web element password = 
driver.findElement(By.password(&#8220;Passwd”).sendkeys(”your_password”);
</styled-code>



<p style="padding-top: 20px"><strong>Step 4:</strong> Now let’s click on the Compose email field. In this case, let’s use XPath locator to locate the Compose button. Here we use the click action to click on the button.</p>



<p style="padding-top: 10px"><strong>Note: </strong>The value for the XPath locator can be fetched by inspecting the specific web element on the web page. In this case, we are using Relative XPath. The value is shown below for the Compose button.</p>



<p style="padding-bottom: 30px">Learn the fundamentals of XPath locator by referring to <a href="https://testsigma.com/blog/xpath-locators-cheat-sheet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this cheatsheet</a>.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://images.storychief.com/account_36412/image_d31761c9da0437d745a51269301f6131_2000.png" alt="Testsigma - Test automation platform" width="400" height="400"/></figure></div>



<br>



<styled-code>
Web element compose= 
driver.findElement(By.xpath(&#8220;//div[contains(text(),&#8217;Compose&#8217;)]”).click();
</styled-code>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px"><strong>Step 5:</strong> As a next step, we need to upload the file. Let’s write the <a href="https://testsigma.com/blog/xpath-locators-cheat-sheet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Relative Xpath locator</a> for attachment button. Here also click action is used to click on the attachment button to attach the file.</p>



<styled-code>
Web element compose= 
driver.findElement(By.xpath(”//div[@id=&#8217;:1dp&#8217;]”).click();
</styled-code>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px"><strong>Step 6:</strong> Let’s use the add file method to add the file.</p>



<p>addFile.sendKeys(&#8220;&lt;FILE_PATH>&#8221;);// FILE_PATH is the path to the file you want to upload</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px">driver.findElement(By.linkText(&#8220;Upload a file&#8221;)).click(); // We are assuming that there is a link with text “Upload a file”, that will initiate the file upload.</p>



<p style="padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px"><strong>Step 7: </strong>Next step is to verify if the file is uploaded. Refer to the below script to verify. The XPath locator value might differ. So it is better to inspect the uploaded file and then write the relative XPath for the same.</p>



<styled-code>
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(&#8220;//div[@id=&#8217;:1md&#8217;]&#8221;)).isDisplayed()) {
assertTrue(true, &#8220;File is Uploaded&#8221;);
}else {
assertTrue(false, &#8220;File not Uploaded&#8221;);
}
}
</styled-code>

<h3 id="h-explanation"><span id="Explanation">Explanation:</span></h3>



<p>In the above program, we have used TestNG annotations for Before Test, @Test and After test. In the before test method, we are setting up the system properties of the ChromeDriver and launching the WebDriver instance to instantiate the browser. Next, we will navigate to the Gmail account.</p>



<p>As a next step, we will use locators to locate the web elements on the web page and upload a file. </p>



<p>The last step is to verify if the file has been uploaded. In this case, I am using assert function to display true and false. Finally, use driver.quit() command to quit the driver instance.</p>



<p>This is how we need to write the script for uploading a file using Selenium. As demonstrated above, uploading a file with Selenium is a relatively easy process. </p>



<p>But, as it is a user action, it needs to be tested frequently to make sure that the website offers a flawless user experience. </p>

<p><p style="padding-bottom: 30px">Unity engine is the cross-platform engine for creating games, which Unity Technologies developed. It lets create 2D, 2.5D, and 3D games or simulations using different programming languages like .NET, C++, and C#. It also provides users with valuable options like unity automated testing that helps find any mistakes and bags. Almost 50% of all games in present are created with Unity, which is a weighty indicator of its productivity and quality.</p></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/stkmReESlzx0niVfRHj6Iyd-z1BLn-7gM2SCfbwLf9E7Bbk_-yRNVxZ92HIB3bHzAA2Zt8bb5jfwddDCtJrjinwq8kPDbWSvPt658WEYS2WuNanYZ17LDL2OrXYe2hUs0-7JPKwblLcaU7dl1cJ7rK6nOR7orz6H13hbdI8-utqZ4_EPU_fcoKVbCgpoDQ" alt="Testsigma - Test automation platform" width="600" height="400" /></figure></div>



<br><h2 id="h-powerful-features-of-the-unity-framework"><span id="Powerful_Features_Of_The_Unity_Framework">Powerful Features Of The Unity Framework</span></h2>



<p>The popularity of unity has caused more and more companies to <a href="https://mobilunity.com/blog/hire-unity-developers/?utm_source=0922_0034" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hire unity developer</a>, and above all, a vast number of its advantages compared with other engines. Its advantages create those comfortable conditions for development, which encourage developers to choose Unity as their development environment.</p>



<h3 id="h-cross-platform-game-development"><span id="Cross-platform_Game_Development">Cross-platform Game Development</span></h3>



<p>It is vital to mention cross-platform, which implies the ability of players with different types of devices to interact with each other online. At the moment, Unity is only on the way to creating cross-platform products, but given the significant achievements of this engine, creating such a product is only a matter of time.</p>



<p>Unity has already launched Unity Gaming Services to make the development of cross-platform games faster and easier. One can always try to create a cross-platform product involving people with different hardware and software.</p>



<h3 id="h-multiple-platform-support"><span id="Multiple_Platform_Support">Multiple Platform Support</span></h3>



<p>The main feature of Unity is that this framework is not limited to one platform &#8211; one can use it on various desktop, mobile, console platforms, and virtual-reality platforms. It supports more than 25 platforms that let it create games and any simulation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Of course, the versions will have some differences in the interface, but generally, it will be the same product. Additionally, Unity has an extensive library of free assets and tools of different types &#8211; 2D, #d, Audio, and VR &#8211; that lets one create such products faster and more effectively.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 id="h-focus-on-what-to-do-rather-than-how-to-do"><span id="Focus_On_What_To_Do_Rather_Than_How_To_Do">Focus On What To Do Rather Than How To Do</span></h3>



<p>The wide variety of tools helps the spare time and automates some processes. One must understand what should be done and how it must work &#8211; the assisted automation process helps in all the other work without creating any new technical solutions. This dramatically saves time and money that programmers are paid for additional work on improving the product. This way, the developer can quietly focus on what he has to do rather than how he implements it.</p>



<h3 id="h-2d-2-5d-3d"><span id="2D_25D_3D">2D + 2.5D + 3D</span></h3>



<p>As mentioned before, Unity can work with projects with various representations of geometric data. Users can combine them and use tools to improve the quality of graphics, depth of space, and detail. This is especially important for good visuals in games and interactive simulations. Each type of graphics suits the product of a different genre and allows a different immersion in the game&#8217;s atmosphere or simulation.</p>



<p> For example, 3D graphics are actively used in creating virtual museums, and 2D can be used in creating cartoons. 2.5D allows you to add depth to two-dimensional structures, which completely changes the nature of the game. The developer can thus change the &#8220;mood&#8221; of the story or the general atmosphere.</p>



<h3 id="h-vr-ar-mr"><span id="VR_AR_MR">VR + AR + MR</span></h3>



<p>One of Unity&#8217;s important options is the ability to create virtual reality technologies. But beyond that, Unity provides important tools for creating augmented and mixed reality. All three options provide an immersive experience in a project or create virtual reality. This is a useful feature both for games and for more serious projects that can be educational or scientific, for example. In addition, virtual reality can be successfully used in the learning process, allowing students to understand the material better or arouse their interest in the subject.</p>



<h3 id="h-movie-animations"><span id="Movie_Animations">Movie Animations</span></h3>



<p>Unity engine is also widely used in creating movies or cartoons, providing a high-quality representation of objects&#8217; physics, structure, and animation in general. Unity allows creators to develop any level of graphics in their projects. The flexibility to combine different types of graphics, change textures and create movies and cartoons on sci-fi or futuristic themes makes detailing surrealistic.&nbsp;</p>

<p><p style="padding-bottom: 30px">Unity allows you to work on HMI (&#8220;human-machine interface&#8221;), creating interactive applications for IVI systems and digital booths, allowing the machine to recognize objects on the road, their speed and direction, the road&#8217;s boundaries, and the presence of buildings, fences or trees along it. It is possible due to different tools like <a href="https://mobilunity-bpo.com/benefits-and-types-of-data-tagging-services/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">image tagging service</a>. As a result, it ensures that accidents and traffic violations are reduced. In addition, such software development takes little time due to real-time rendering, which enables faster integration.</p></p>

<br><h2 id="h-unity-testing"><span id="Unity_Testing">Unity Testing</span></h2>



<p>Working with Unity, as with any other framework, involves testing. This allows you to ensure the smooth operation of your applications and find and remove bugs and errors in your code. For Unity testing, several frameworks are used that significantly streamline the process of bug detection, such as UTF &#8211; Unity test framework &#8211; which will be described later.</p>



<h3 id="h-fortnite-bug"><span id="Fortnite_Bug">Fortnite Bug</span></h3>



<p>Unity allows you to create your games or analogs of well-known games, which you can customize to your preference. For example, the famous game Fortnite, despite its popularity, has some bugs &#8211; it may not start or crash. A developer who knows how to work with Unity can easily create a similar game for himself in which these bugs will be absent because the new game will be created taking into account the mistakes of the previous one and weaker hardware—making one&#8217;s product will take little time or resources.</p>

<p><p style="padding-bottom: 30px">The next popular game is Counter-Strike, which already has many versions created on Unity. But nothing forbids you to create your analog with new maps, weapons types, or types of combat. You can create a new mode that will have its atmosphere. Moreover, making small changes in the code can be made multiplatform, allowing you to play it on your computer and your phone. Everything you need is patience and knowledge in Unity.</p></p>

<br><h2 id="h-the-unity-test-framework-utf"><span id="The_Unity_Test_Framework_UTF">The Unity Test Framework (UTF)</span></h2>



<p>One of the essential parts of the beginner&#8217;s guide to unity is the description of UTF. The task of this framework is to run a unity test, which will reveal bugs so that the developer can fix them later. This testing has several advantages over other testing frameworks. First of all, it detects bugs earlier than others. In addition, it quickly finds regression bugs, often seen only after the application is completed. UTF, on the other hand, detects them, and thus developers need to do much less work.</p>



<h2 id="h-limitations-and-disadvantages-of-unity-testing"><span id="Limitations_And_Disadvantages_Of_Unity_Testing">Limitations And Disadvantages Of Unity Testing</span></h2>



<p>Despite its usefulness in helping developers, UTF could be better and has several limitations.&nbsp;</p>



<p><p style="padding-bottom: 20px">For example,&nbsp;</p></p>



<ul><li>It cannot detect integration between two modules. It also can only identify interfacing if the product contains one module.</li><br><li>Although the unity test framework makes the work of programmers much easier since they do not have to waste time looking for errors on their own, it is still a long process that takes a lot of time.</li><br><li>Even after the test is complete, it cannot guarantee the quality of the application.</li><br><li>Despite its practical efficiency, it also can not identify all the errors, so part of the work will still have to be done by the developer himself.</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-integrating-unity-test-framework-with-testsigma"><span id="Integrating_Unity_Test_Framework_With_Testsigma">Integrating Unity Test Framework With Testsigma</span></h2>



<p>Equally important is the topic of integrating the Unity test framework with Testsigma. This automated testing tool is often used for automated application testing, and its integration with other frameworks is considered one of the <a href="https://testsigma.com/blog/unit-testing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unit testing</a> best practices. </p>



<p>This is a cloud-based software that uses artificial intelligence to detect errors in the code. It can easily be used with UTF because Testsigma allows you to run several parallel tests in the cloud. Thus, it reduces the time to work with UTF. Combining the two tools makes the work much easier and more flexible. In addition, one program can find the bugs that the other missed.</p>



<h2 id="h-frequently-asked-questions"><span id="Frequently_Asked_Questions">Frequently Asked Questions:</span></h2>



<p>To better understand the basics of Unity testing, beginners often ask several questions. Here are the answers to some of them.</p>



<h3 id="h-how-do-i-run-a-test-in-unity"><span id="How_do_I_run_a_test_in_Unity">How do I run a test in Unity?</span></h3>



<p>After you have written your code, right-click and choose the options “Create” and “Testing” and then “EditMode Test C# Script”. It will open the “Test Running” window. Go there and select “EditMode”. Then the only thing you need to do is press “Run All”. After that your unit test will begin.</p>



<h3 id="h-how-do-you-write-a-unit-test-in-unity"><span id="How_do_you_write_a_unit_test_in_Unity">How do you write a unit test in Unity?</span></h3>



<p>To do it, you need to open the test you created earlier. When you make a test, you will always have a file you can completely modify, from the name to the content. When you open this file, you will be able to enter in the input field your conditions, according to which the program will look for bugs and errors. When you are done, save the result and rerun the check. If everything is done correctly, all the bugs found will match your specified conditions.</p>



<h3 id="h-how-to-run-a-unity-test"><span id="How_to_run_a_Unity_Test">How to run a Unity Test?</span></h3>



<p>You must use Unity&#8217;s Test Runner to execute a Unity test. To access the Test Runner, go to the menu bar at the top of your Unity editor and pick &#8220;Window&#8221; &gt; &#8220;General&#8221; &gt; &#8220;Test Runner.&#8221; If your project does not yet have any tests, you can create one by clicking the &#8220;Create EditMode Test Assembly&#8221; button. </p>



<p>Once the Test Runner is open, you may run your tests in various ways. This can involve running all tests at once by clicking the &#8220;Play&#8221; button, selecting specific tests, clicking &#8220;Run,&#8221; and even executing tests while in the Unity editor. With the Test Runner, you can effectively test and assure the quality of your Unity projects.</p>
