Selenium Tutorial

What is Selenium?

Javascript framework that runs in your webbrowser

Works anywhere Javascript is supported Hooks for many other languages Java, Ruby, Python Can simulate a user navigating through pages and
then assert for specic marks on the pages using it right away

All you need to really know is HTML to start

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 then play back those recordings followed by asserts

You can record how an app is being used and Get everything at: www.openqa.org/selenium/

Selenium IDE
The 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 IDE
Execution Commands

Record test actions

Try the test in the Web based TestRunner

Reference of the currently selected command

Specify commands, including asserts

Test Creation Demo

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

Start Pixory Connect to the Server

Go to the Login Screen Hit the Record Button

Type in Username and Password

IDE should update

Hit record again to stop

Hit submit

Add assertTextPresent and type the text to search for

Hit play to make sure your test is successful

Creating a Test Suite


<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>

A Test Suite in Selenium is just an HTML le that contains a table of links to tests

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

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
