Notes de l'éditeur
- I'm Daniel Anjos, a Web Tester in Aqris In this short talk, we will see a little of - what is Selenium - Past (what problems selenium came to solve) - Present (problems of today, problems of selenium) - Future (problems of tomorrow, Selenium 2.0)
- Selenium is a Open Source suite of tools to automate web app testing across many platforms, Created in 2004 by Jason Huggins Goal: testing tool that can test JavaScript UI features in all browsers on all platforms - Selenium Core is pure DHTML/JavaScript that controls your browser - Selenium IDE is a Firefox add-on that makes it easy to record and playback tests in Firefox. You can even use it generate code to run the tests with Selenium Remote Control - Selenium RC is a client/server system that allows you to control web browsers locally or on other computers, using almost any programming language and testing framework - Selenium GRID runs RC tests on many servers at the same time, cutting down on the time it takes to test multiple browsers or operating systems.
- Don't worry if you got lost. The basic is: - Selenium core is the javascript that controls your browser (under the hood) - Selenium IDE is the Firefox plugin (image on left) - Selenium RC is a tool to control your browser with a programming language (right) - Selenium GRID is just like RC, but running tests in parallel (at same time)
- These are some of the companies that adopted Selenium (on some extent) Google and ThoughtWorks also contributes to the OS code improving the tool
- Let's make a brief overview of the history of Web Frameworks: Before the year 2000, everything was more simple. Simple server-side architecture (Perl, ASP , PHP …) Only 2 main browsers
- From 2000 – 2003, you have - more Internet browsers (Opera, Safari, Firefox 2004) - DHTML / Javascript to make Rich Client – Interactive Web Pages - Very different javascript support from browsers
- The problems that Selenium came to solve (2004) for Web Development: - Web 1.0 = Very different support of HTML / Javascript - Multiple OS compatibility - Multiple Browser Compatibility - Testers want to use different languages to automate tests
- To tackle this problems with Selenium, you can start by using the Selenium IDE to practice, record the test structure, replay and modify it.
- As you feel confident, you may move to Selenium RC with a programming language As the test base grows, use refactoring to improve test readability. After some time, some problems appear with this approach: - Code inconsistency (Helpers/Selenium) - Duplication - Hard to change / maintain
- Going forward in time, you can see - Increase of web frameworks - Adoption of Javascript (AJAX) - Development of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) - Development of Rapid Application Development (RAD)
- Today the web is composed of many different frameworks, with many browsers for many different versions of OS. This is a much more complex scenario
- So, what changed since 2004? What are the problems we face today? - Web 2.0 - Adoption of AJAX
- Also, different development methodologies since the Agile Manifesto (2001): - XP, Scrum, Kanban, Lean... - Fast changes
- Today, there are several strategies to cope with this problems using selenium: - Good automated test structure (Java or any other language) - Page Object Design Pattern For more on page objects, see: http://www.aqris.com/display/DEV/2010/02/05/PageObjects+and+how+to+make+functional+tests+fun!
- Selenium has its limits, and its problems, as any tool. - Poor interaction with dialogs (alerts) - Basic authentication is enforced in dialogs in modern browsers - Complex AJAX - Handling Browser crashes This problems come from the basic architecture of selenium (Javascript)
- There are also some new problems that we will have to handle soon: - Rich Internet Applications written in HTML5 / Adobe Flex / Silverlight or JavaFX - Cloud computing (Amazon, Google, …) - New platforms: Mobile, Netbooks, TVs, Video Games,
- From the version 2.0, WebDriver and Selenium are merging. Webdriver addresses some shortcomings in selenium (by being able to bypass the JS sandbox, for example. And we’ve got a gorgeous API), Selenium addresses some shortcomings in webdriver (such as supporting a broader range of browsers) You should investigate webdriver: * Mult-browser testing (functionality for browsers not well-supported by Selenium 1) * Handling multiple frames, multiple browser windows, popups, and alerts. * Page navigation * Drag-and-drop * AJAX-based UI elements
- Still, there always will be problems that the tools cannot solve. What should be automated? Bugs / Features / Main Path / Corner cases When to stop automating? How much is enough? Who writes the automated tests, developers or testers? For whom are the automated tests? QA team, Business representative (acceptance)
- Thank You Any questions?
