- 4. What is Selenium Selenium basics Improving Selenium tests with PageObjects
- 6. What is Selenium? Quite simply, “Selenium automates browsers” Originally started in 2004 by Jason Huggins as an internal tool at ThoughtWorks Written in Java Useful not only for testing but for automated tasks, webpage scraping, etc.
- 7. Testing frameworks powered by Selenium Java JUnit TestNG .NET NUnit MSTest JavaScript WebdriverJS WebdriverIO NightwatchJS PHP Behat + Menk Ruby RSpec Python Robot Framework PyUnit Py.Test
- 10. WebDrivers DifferentWebdriver for different browsers Native implementation Firefox Third Party implementations Chrome IE Opera Safari Edge PhantomJS Etc…
- 11. WebElement One node of an HTML document Can contain childWebElements Properties Enabled (bool) Selected (bool) TagName (string) Text (string) Etc…
- 12. WebElement Action Methods Clear Click SendKeys Submit Other Userful Methods FindElement / FindElements GetAttribute GetCssValue
- 13. Find Elements By FindElement/FindElements returns a WebElement object These are filtered using the “By” object ClassName CssSelector Name Id LinkText PartialLinkText TagName Xpath Chrome DeveloperTools is your friend Copy Selector Copy XPath
- 14. Find Elements By Chrome DeveloperTools is your friend Copy Selector Copy XPath
- 15. Selenium in VisualStudio Third parties found ways to support Selenium as early asVisual Studio 2005 via NUnit and Selenium.NET MSTest support added inVisual Studio 2013 You can still use NUnit or other test runners Vastly easier nowadays due to Nuget
- 16. Demo Selenium inVisual Studio using MSTest + C#
- 17. ImprovingSelenium tests with PageObjects Making tests look saner
- 18. PageObjects Create a class representing each page to be tested Create properties forWebElements in the page Make methods for repeatedly called routines
- 19. Demo PageObjects
