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?
• 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

3. 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/
www.seleniumcoe.com
4. 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

5. Selenium IDE

6. Test Creation Demo
• Create test case to log into the gallery
• Create test case to log out of the gallery

7. Start Pixory
Connect to the Server
Go to the Login Screen
Hit the Record Button

8. Type in Username and Password IDE should update
Hit submit
Hit record again to
stop

10. 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>

11. 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 restrictions

12. Running the Test Suite
• We basically want to execute the test
suite using the Selenium IDE plug-in
