In the world of automation testing, dealing with barcodes and QR codes is a common scenario. These codes contain essential information, and ensuring their correctness and readability is crucial. In this article, we’ll explore how to use TestNG to automate the testing of barcodes and QR codes in Java. You can see the barcode and qr code standards used in the picture below. Enjoy reading…

Prerequisites

Before diving into the code, ensure you have the following setup:

• Java Development Kit (JDK)
• Maven (build management tool as using for dependency management)
• TestNG (for writing and running tests)
• ZXing (for decoding barcodes and QR codes)
• Selenium WebDriver (for browser automation)

Add the necessary dependencies to your pom.xmlwith lastest versions:

        <version>${selenium}</version>
    </dependency>
<!--    DECODE QR-->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.zxing</groupId>
        <artifactId>core</artifactId>
        <version>${barcode.decode}</version>
    </dependency>
