public class SHAFT extends Object
The main entry point for the SHAFT test automation framework.

SHAFT provides a unified, fluent API for automating Web, Mobile, API, CLI, and Database interactions. All subsystems are accessed through nested static classes:

  • SHAFT.GUI – Browser, element, touch, and alert actions via Selenium/Appium.
  • SHAFT.API – RESTful API interactions via REST Assured.
  • SHAFT.CLI – Terminal and file-system operations.
  • SHAFT.DB – Database queries and result handling.
  • SHAFT.Validations – Standalone hard and soft assertions.
  • SHAFT.TestData – JSON, Excel, CSV, and YAML test-data readers.
  • SHAFT.Properties – Runtime configuration management.
  • SHAFT.Report – Custom logging and attachments for Allure reports.

Quick-start example: 

SHAFT.GUI.WebDriver driver = new SHAFT.GUI.WebDriver();
driver.browser().navigateToURL("https://example.com")
      .and().assertThat().browser().title().contains("Example");
driver.quit();
