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.

2. What is Selenium
• Selenium is a suite of Web application test automation
tools for any browser on any operating system
– Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, Chrome
– Windows, OS X, Linux, Solaris
• Selenium is broken up into 4 primary components
– Selenium Core
– Selenium IDE
– Selenium RC
– Selenium Grid
• http://seleniumhq.org

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

4. Selenium Core
• Selenium Core was developed for an internal application
at ThoughtWorks
• The Core is written in JavaScript, so it runs directly in the
browser
• Tests run directly on the application web server
• Selenese is a command language written into HTML
tables
• Problems:
– cannot switch between http and https protocols.
– cannot go from one domain to another
Command Target Value

5. Selenium IDE
• The IDE is a record and playback tool with built-in debugger and
editor
• The IDE is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox only
• The IDE automatically creates test scripts in the Selenese HTML
table format
• The IDE can generate code into a wide variety of languages and
test frameworks
– HTML Selenese, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
– Bromine, JUnit, NUnit, RSpec, Test::Unit, TestNG, unittest
• Does not directly support:
– condition statements, iteration
– logging and reporting of test results
– error handling, particularly unexpected errors
– database testing
– test case grouping, test case dependency
– screenshot capture of test failures

7. Selenium RC
• is written in Java for portability and is executed from the
command line
• Selenium-RC components are:
– The selenium Server which launches and kills browsers, interprets
and runs the Selenese commands passed from the test program,
and acts as an HTTP proxy, intercepting and verifying HTTP
messages passed between the browser and AUT.
– client libraries which provide the interface between each
programming language and the Selenium-RC Server
• client programming languages: C#, Java, Perl, PHP,
Python, Ruby

10. Selenium Grid
• The Grid enables you to run tests in parallel on multiple machines
– Tests can be ran in parallel for reduced execution time
– Test can be ran on various browser and operating system
combinations
– Generates a collated report from all test machines
• The Grid can be run on a server farm or in the Cloud
– The tests are distributed by the Hub server to multiple Selenium
RC machines
– The tests can be ran by various Cloud computing services such
as Amazon EC2, Sauce Labs, BrowserMob, and PushToTest
– The Grid is written in Java for portability and is executed from the
command line
