DESCRIPTION

SELENIUM COURSE CONTENT: Course Description Within fast moving agile software development teams it becomes important to test user interfaces as they are being coded. Automated Testing techniques using Selenium 2 allow for test replay of important features as development progresses. Selenium IDE and Selenium Web Driver are important tools for any tester or developer to use in ensuring software quality and making changes with confidence. This interactive, hands-on workshop provides an understanding and advanced techniques in the use of Selenium 2 with hands on practice. The practice exercises are tailored to various skill levels and type of application being tested, from simple forms to complex web applications. Objectives: The class will teach participants to: Understand trade-offs of automated vs. manual testing. Record, edit and play back Selenium IDE tests against multiple types of web applications. Minimize test failure due to normal changes to code. Understanding of basic Selenium commands to get through common issue with web applications. Use of Eclipse to run tests individually and as a group to generate test failure reports. Learn how to help developers understand the importance of making applications more testable to improve usability.

What is Selenium?

• Javascript framework that runs in your web-browser• 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

Where to get it?

• You can use Selenium-Core and customize everything

• 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 play back those recordings followed by asserts

• Get everything at: www.openqa.org/selenium/

Selenium IDEThe root of web application you want to test

The list of actions in the actual test case to execute

The log of the events that were executed, including any errors or warning that may have occurred

Selenium IDEExecution Commands

Try the test in the Web based TestRunner

Reference of the currently selected command

Record test actions

Specify commands, including asserts

Test Creation Demo

• Create test case to log into the gallery• Create test case to log out of the gallery

www.seleniumcoe.com

Start Pixory

Connect to the Server

Go to the Login Screen

Hit the Record Button

www.seleniumcoe.com

Type in Username and Password IDE should update

Hit submit

Hit record again to stop

Add assertTextPresent and type the text to search for

Hit play to make sure your test is successful

Creating a Test Suite• A Test Suite in

Selenium is just an HTML file that contains a table of links to tests

<html><head><meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"http-equiv="content-type"><title>Demo Test Suite</title></head>

<body><table id="suiteTable">

<tbody> <tr><td>

<b>Demo Test Suite</b> </td></tr><tr><td><a href="./testLogin.html">TestLogin</a>

</td></tr><tr><td><a href="./testLogout.html">TestLogout</a>

</td></tr></tbody>

</table></body></html>

Executing the Test Suite

• Selenium Core is a collection of Javascript and HTML with iFrames– Due to security concerns Core must be deployed

within the same server as the application being hosted

– The simplest way to run Pixory is to just run the Java application and let it use its own server

– Problems using Core with Pixory• Selenium IDE is a plug-in for Firefox and thus

can go around these restrictionswww.seleniumcoe.com

Running the Test Suite• We basically want to execute the test

suite using the Selenium IDE plug-in TestRunner.html

chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/TestRunner.html?baseURL=<BASE>&test=file:///<TEST SUITE FILE>&auto=true

chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium/TestRunner.html?baseURL=http://localhost:8081&test=file:///Users/ms333/projects/classes/running/v_and_v/hw3/selenium/test/TestSuite.html&auto=true
