STF (SeleniumTestsFramework) on maven repository

Since the commencement of STF it required installation of STF jar locally. This was a tedious process since for each new update of STF, the jar file should be installed locally. But not any more :-)

I am happy to announce the release of STF to maven repository. To be able use STF you would need to add following dependency to you pom file -

Please refer maven central repo for latest version of STF jar

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.seleniumtests</groupId>

    <artifactId>seleniumtestsframework</artifactId>

    <version>3.0</version>

</dependency>

that's all, and maven will download STF for you.

You can also download Sample Selenium Project which uses and illustrates STF features.

In case you are a Selenium Beginners, then you should first begin with Selenium Training Videos

Have a question on STF? Is there a feature missing? don't forget to post on Testing Forum :-)

How to Verify Email Confirmation Using Selenium 4 and JavaMail (2026 Guide) Updated: 2026 (Original article published August 02, 2011) Email confirmation is an integral part of most registration flows — account activation, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and onboarding emails. Sooner or later, every automation engineer faces the same challenge: How do we verify an email confirmation link inside a Selenium test without making the test slow and flaky? Many beginners try to automate Gmail UI using Selenium. That approach is fragile, slow, and tightly coupled to a third-party UI that changes frequently. A cleaner approach is this: Use Selenium for browser automation. Use JavaMail (IMAP) to read the email directly. Extract the confirmation link. Continue the test using Selenium. This guide shows a modern, production-ready approach using Selenium 4 and JavaMail . Why Not Auto...

Selenium Tutorial: Ant Build for Selenium Java project

Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -

Capture network traffic using WebDriver

We often come across testing requirements when we need to analyze the network traffic to find - HTTP status of page Analyze header information to find if right information is passed Validating parameters related to ajax requests etc Selenium 1 has had a way to capture n/w traffic but the feature does not always work as expected. At times Selenium 1 does not capture all n/w traffic, And given that Selenium 1 APIs are almost dead it is
