It is an open source frequently used for functional & regression testing
Supports Different PL:Java,Python,C#,

consumption during the
execution

Selenium Suite of Tools

❖ IDE

❖ RC

❖ Web Driver

❖ Grid

Selenium IDE

❖ Selenium IDE is a Firefox Plugin whis is used to create and execute test cases

❖ It record and plays back the interactions which the user had with the web

browser

❖ Using IDE, you can export the programming code in different programming

languages such as: Java, C#,Python,Ruby

Selenium RC
Selenium Remote Control (RC) is used to write web application test cases in
different PL
Deprecat
It interacts with browsers the help of Selenium RC Server ed

RC Server communication uses simple HTTP get/Post request

Java

How to Automate Web Process

❖ Web Page contains from HTML Elements

❖ In order to automate web actions you should find web page Elements

❖ We should use some locator technics

❖ We should identify the element and then we can do actions on elements

Simona Pitam
Web Driver

❖ In Selenium we have element identifier & then we can activate elements

❖ Selenium Web Driver is a programming interface to create & execute test

cases

❖ Test Cases are created and executed using Elements/Object Locator/Web

Driver method Simona Pitam

❖ Selenium WEbDriver has programming interface not IDE

❖ Selenium IDE supports only IDE;doesn’t have programming interface

Web Driver
Each Browser has it own driver that application runs

Selenium Web Driver makes direct calls to the Browser

For testing on Local machine you need Web Driver per Web Broser

For Server Testing you need RC Explorer Driver

Type of Web Brosers

Simona Pitam
Chrome Driver
❖ Download Chrome Driver Exe
❖ Chrome Driver->chromedriver.exe

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

❖ Internet Explorer -> iedriver.exe

❖ Web Driver is API and not IDE

Simona Pitam
We should choose the Web Browser in order to run Web Driver

- API - Application Program Interface

Selenium Scripts

Selenium Grid

❖ Selenium Grid is used to run test scripts at the same time on multiple

machines

❖ Parallel Running can be done

❖ Hub and Nodes using jar files

Write Script in Eclipse

❖ Add External jars

❖ Import all selenium jar files

❖ We can create different folder & import our jars

Simona Pitam
Script Example
package simona.selenium.webdriver.tutorial.Javabasic;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.background.JavaScriptExecutor;

Import Jars into Eclipse
Right Click on Java Project Name

Click On Build Path

Choose Configure Build Path

Add External jars (selenium - 3.8.0-standalone.jar,selenium-nodeps-3.8.1-

source.jar,selenium-3.8.1-nodeps.jar)
