- 4. Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium scripts. It is implemented as a Firefox extension. It allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. 07/12/2016Ogma Applications 4 Selenium IDE
- 5. IDE Features Speed Control: controls how fast your test case runs. Run All: Runs the entire test suite when a test suite with multiple test cases is loaded. Run: Runs the currently selected test. When only a single test is loaded this button and the Run All button have the same effect. Pause/Resume: Allows stopping and re-starting of a running test case. Step: Allows you to step through a test case by running it one command at a time. Use for debugging test cases. Apply Rollup Rules: This advanced feature allows repetitive sequences of Selenium commands to be grouped into a single action. Reload Test Scheduler Record: Records the users browser actions. 07/12/2016Ogma Applications 5
- 6. IDE Features Command Tells Selenium what to do using actions or assertions Target Tells Selenium which HTML element a command refers to Value Used for any command that might need a value of some kind 08/04/2015Ogma Applications 6
- 7. IDE Features Log When test case run, error messages and information messages showing the progress are displayed in this pane automatically. Useful for debugging Reference - The Reference pane will display documentation on the current command. UI-Element - A mapping between a meaningful name for a page element, and the means to locate that page element's DOM node. The page element is located via a locator. UI elements belong to pagesets*. Rollup - Logic that describes how one or more Selenium commands can be grouped into a single command, and how that single command may be expanded into its component Selenium commands*. 08/04/2015Ogma Applications 7

- 9. IDE Features: Commands Selenium commands come in three flavors: Actions,Accessors, and Assertions. Actions - commands that generally manipulate the state of the application. Accessors - examine the state of the application and store the results in variables, e.g. storeTitle. Assertions - are like Accessors, but they verify that the state of the application conforms to what is expected. 07/12/2016Ogma Applications 9
- 10. Creating and Running Test Suite and Case The procedure for creating automated test case consists of the following steps: Start a Firefox window and navigate to the page URL you want to test. Click on the Tools menu, Selenium IDE, as described in the following figure Fill in the Base URL field at the top with the starting URL of the page being tested and then clink on the button Record . Having the Record button enabled, start the test case by making the data entry on the system At the end of test case, disable the Record button. You can save the test case at the File menu, Save Test Case. To run the test case automatically, just click on the button Play current test case At the end of successful execution, Selenium-IDE window will display the list of steps executed successfully. A test suite is a collection of test cases. 07/12/2016Ogma Applications 10

Editor's Notes
- #4: Selenium IDE If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, and/or create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. Selenium WebDriver If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests and/or scale and distribute scripts across many environments then you want to use油Selenium WebDriver; a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser -- the way it is meant to be driven. Selenium WebDriver is the successor of油Selenium Remote Control油which has been officially deprecated. The Selenium Server (used by both WebDriver and Remote Control) now also includes built-in grid capabilities. Selenium Server With the release of Selenium 2.0, the Selenium Server now has built-in Grid functionality. Grid allows you to scale by distributing tests on several machines ( parallel execution ), manage multiple environments from a central point, making it easy to run the tests against a vast combination of browsers / OS, minimize the maintenance time for the grid by allowing you to implement custom hooks to leverage virtual infrastructure for instance.
