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.
