Writing custom configuration for Selenium automation framework

In this post, I am going to discuss about one of the important extension added in my Udemy course Automation framework development with Selenium C# (Advanced) which is custom configuration for selenium automation framework

Problem Statement

Currently in our EAFramework discussed in the course we are using GlobalConfig.xml file to read information for our framework as one shown below

Well, the problem with the above configuration is, while working with EAFramework in remote machines to deploy the code via

• Jenkins
• TFS or
• Running in remote machines on Azure

The framework expects to have GlobalConfig.xml file in its relative path of the bin folder where the DLL’s of framework actually resides Solution We are going deprecate our existing GlobalConfig.xml file in favour of configuration manager, and hence our config will look something like this
