  What is Selenium • Is a suite of tools to automate web browsers across many platforms • Can be used for – Automate web application for testing – Automate web administration tasks – Measure Performance – Test Security • Supports multiple browsers, platforms and Languages – Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, – HTML Unit, Android & iOS phones and tablets – Java, C#, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl, etc. • Deploys on – Windows, Mac, Linux • Variants – Selenium 2 (Webdriver) , Selenium 1 (Remote Control), Selenium IDE Think Technology..Think Future

  Selenium - History •Started in 2004 in by Jason Huggins who worked in ThoughtWorks • Jason joins Google in 2007 • Currently CTO of SauceLabs • Simon Stewart Started work on Webdriver in Google • http://google-opensource.blogspot.in/2009/05/ introducing-webdriver.html Think Technology..Think Future

  Need of TestAutomation • Frequent regression testing • Rapid feedback to developers • Virtually unlimited iterations of test case execution • Support for Agile and extreme development methodologies • Disciplined documentation of test cases • Customized defect reporting • Finding defects missed by manual testing Think Technology..Think Future

  Selenium IDE Pros – Easy to install as a Firefox plugin – Record & Playback – Easy Execution – Export script – Suitable for creating simple scripts Cons – Sequential Execution – Not easy to data drive – No basic Programming Construct Think Technology..Think Future

  Selenium RC • Client-serverarchitecture • It ‘injects’ javascript functions into the browser. Uses its javascript to drive the AUT Problems • browsers impose a pretty strict security model on any JavaScript to protect a user from malicious scripts. • Examples – trying to upload a file (IE prevents JavaScript from changing the value of an INPUT file element) – when trying to navigate between domains (because of the single host origin policy problem) Think Technology..Think Future

  Selenium WebDriver • Makesdirect calls to the browser using each browser’s native support for automation – For Firefox, implemented as an extension – For IE, makes use of IE's Automation controls • Circumvents JavaScript security restrictions • Can make use of facilities offered by the OS – More closely model how the user interacts with the browser, and that we can type into "file" input elements • Support by browser vendors - Opera, Mozilla and Google are all active participants Think Technology..Think Future

  Sample Webdriver Test Think Technology..Think Future
• 13.
  Why choose Webdriver •Object Oriented, smaller, compact API - This can make it easier to work with compared to RC • Mimics the way that your users work with your site and apps • Offers advanced user interactions APIs – Drag and Drop – Clicking multiple elements with Control key • Support for WebDriver is baked into the browser itself: your tests run fast and are stable Think Technology..Think Future

  Issues • Changing element locators • Changing data • Reusability • Maintainability • Readability • Reporting Think Technology..Think Future
• 15.
  Need framework to… •Allow organizing tests into different Pages • Abstract element locators • Abstract data • Allow verification points • Capability to deal with file systemdatabases windows dialogs, etc. • Be maintainable to keep pace with fast agile development Think Technology..Think Future
