What is Selenium?

• Selenium is a robust set of tools that
  supports rapid development of test automation for
  web-based applications.
• Works anywhere JavaScript is supported
• Hooks for many other languages - Java, Ruby,
  Python
• Can simulate a user navigating through pages
  and then assert for specific marks on the pages
• All you need to really know is HTML to start
• using it right away

Selenium

• You can use open source - Selenium tool
• Selenium IDE is a plug-in to Firefox to record
  and playback tests (like WinRunner, QTP).
• You can then export the recorded test in most
  language e.g. HTML, Java , .NET , Perl , Ruby
  etc.
• The exported test can be run in any browser and
  any platform using "selenium remote control".

Where to get it?
You can use Selenium-Core and customize
everything deprecated. But it is easier to
just get a Firefox plug-in Selenium-IDE
that helps you record test Cases. You
can record how an app is being used and then
playback those recordings followed by asserts.
Get everything at www.openqa.org/selenium/

Selenium Components
6

• Selenium-IDE
• Integrated Development Environment for building
  Selenium test cases.
• Operates as a Firefox add-on and provides an
  interface for developing and running individual
  test cases or entire test suites.
• Selenium-IDE has a recording feature, which will
  keep account of user actions as they are
  performed and store them as a reusable script to
  play back.
• It also has a context menu (right-click)
  integrated with the Firefox browser, which allows
  the user to pick from a list of assertions and
  verifications for the selected location.
• Offers full editing of test cases.
• Although it is a Firefox only add-on, tests
  created in it can also be run against other
  browsers by using Selenium-RC specifying the
  name of the test suite on the command line.

7

• Selenium-RC (Remote Control)
• Selenium-RC provides an API (Application
  Programming Interface) and library for each of
  its supported languages HTML, Java, C, Perl,
  PHP, Python, and Ruby.
• This ability to use Selenium-RC with a high-level
  programming language to develop test cases also
  allows the automated testing to be integrated
  with a projects automated build environment.

8

• Selenium-Grid
• Selenium-Grid allows the Selenium-RC solution to
  scale for test suites or test suites to be run in
  multiple environments.
• With Selenium-Grid multiple instances of
  Selenium-RC are running on various operating
  system and browser configurations, each of these
  when launching register with a hub. When tests
  are sent to the hub they are then redirected to
  an available Selenium-RC, which will launch the
  browser and run the test.
• This allows for running tests in parallel, with
  the entire test suite theoretically taking only
  as long to run as the longest individual test.

Steps to start with Selenium!
1) Begin write and run tests in
Firefox. Selenium IDE is a Firefox add-on that
records clicks, typing, and other actions to make
a test, which you can play back in the
browser. 2) Customize your language, your
browser. Selenium Remote Control (RC) runs your
tests in multiple browsers and platforms. Tweak
your tests in your preferred language. 3)
Deploy scale out, speed up Selenium Grid extends
Selenium RC to distribute your tests across
multiple servers, saving you time by running
tests in parallel.

Supported Browsers Tests developed on Firefox
via Selenium-IDE can be executed on any other
supported browser via a simple Selenium-RC
command line.

Selenium Commands Selenese

• 1) Actions are commands that generally manipulate
  the state of the application. They do things like
  click this link and select that option.
• Can be called with AndWait suffix, e.g.
  clickAndWait.
• 2) Accessors examine the state of the application
  and store the results in variables, e.g.
  storeTitle.
• They are also used to automatically generate
  Assertions.
• 3) Assertions are like Accessors, but verify that
  the state of the application conforms to what is
  expected. Eg. make sure the page title is X,
  verify that this checkbox is checked.
• All Selenium Assertions can be used in 3 modes
  assert, verify, and waitFor. For example,
  you can assertText, verifyText and
  waitForText.

Creating a Test Suite
A Test Suite in Selenium is just an HTML file
that contains a table of links to tests
