pom.xml
1 min
The pom.xml file is the configuration file of a Maven project. Maven is a build automation tool used to compile Java projects automatically, manage dependencies, and run tests.
In order for a project to run properly, the pom.xml file must be included in the project structure.
Below is an explanation of some dependencies and properties used in the project:
- distributionManagement: Defines the distribution (publishing) settings of the project. In this case, it specifies that the project will be deployed to a private Maven repository named testinium-mvn.
- repositories: Indicates the Maven repository from which the project dependencies will be downloaded. A custom repository named testinium-mvn is defined here.
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>testinium-mvn</id>
<url>https://mvn.testinium.com/repository/public/</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>testinium-mvn</id>
<url>https://mvn.testinium.com/repository/public/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>- gauge-java: Gauge is a test automation framework. This dependency includes the Gauge Java API in the project. (Version 0.9.1 must be used to run tests on the Testinium platform.)
- Appium java-client: The Appium Java client library used for mobile application testing. It enables interaction with mobile devices. (Version 8.6.0 is required for compatibility with Testinium.)
- maven-compiler-plugin: This plugin allows Maven to compile Java code. The source and target parameters specify the Java version to be used.
- maven-surefire-plugin: A Maven plugin that runs unit tests. If the skipTests parameter is set to true, the tests will be skipped.
- gauge-maven-plugin: A dedicated plugin used to run Gauge tests via Maven.
- java.version: Specifies the Java version used for compiling the project. (Java 21 is required for execution on the Testinium platform.)
- testinium-appium2-driver: This library provides the Appium 2 driver required to run test scenarios on the Testinium platform.

To successfully add this library to your project, you also need to include the distributionManagement and repositories sections in the pom.xml file. This library is essential for running your tests on the Testinium platform.
