Selenium PP T

Selenium is a JavaScript framework that allows automated testing of web applications. It works by simulating user interactions in a web browser. Selenium can be used with many programming languages and supports recording and playing back test cases. Tests are created using Selenium IDE, a Firefox plugin. Test suites are defined as HTML pages linking to individual test case files. The Selenium TestRunner is used to execute the test suites and cases within Firefox.

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 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 IDE
The root of web
application you
want to test

The log of the


events that were
executed, including
any errors or
warning that may
have occurred

The list of
actions in the
actual test case
to execute

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

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 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/
