Agenda
Introduction to Selenium Quick Demo Different ways of using Selenium Best practices with using Selenium Questions & Feedback

Quick Poll

Do you do Web Testing? Do you do automated Web Testing? Do you need to support & test your webapp on multiple browsers? Which automated web-testing frameworks do you use?
www.XebiaIndia.com
What is Selenium?

A JavaScript based Open Source Web testing tool
That supports testing Web 2.0 applications

On multiple browsers
And multiple Operating Systems

www.XebiaIndia.com 4
What is Selenium

Acceptance Testing tool for web-apps Tests run directly in browser
Implemented entirely using browser

technologies JavaScript DHTML Frames
Origins of Selenium
Developed by ThoughtWorks to test new time and expenses system
Selenium is the key mineral to protect body from mercury toxicity

Selenium Modes

Test Runner Mode

test cases in HTML tables
Record-Playback mode (Selenium IDE) Selenium Remote Control (RC) Mode

test-cases in your language of choice

Selenium HTML Tests

Selenium tests are HTML files Selenium interacts with the DOM served to browser
Selenium is agnostic of server side technology Selenium HTML language is called Selenese
Selenese

Selenium declarative DSL : Selenese
Selenium understands two types of HTML files (which have simple HTML tables):
Tests Test Suites
Every test is contained within a test suite Point TestRunner.html at the test suite to run it
Format of a Selenium Test
HTML Table with 3 columns

First Column: Selenium command Second Column: Target of command Third Column: Optional parameter
www.XebiaIndia.com
12
Selenium Concepts

Element Locators : specify HTML elements Patterns : for pattern matching values Action : manipulate app state
Accessors : store results in variables

Assertion : verify that the app is in a certain state
Test Runner Demo

See Demo suite Look at tests bundled with Selenium Running selenium test in slow and fast mode
www.XebiaIndia.com
14
Problems with HTML Tests
Selenium is sensitive to the format of the table No separation of concern
Duplication is a major issue

Tests need to be deployed with AUT (Application under Test)
Selenium Modes

Test Runner Mode

16
Selenium IDE

Very useful tool for beginners Firefox extension which allows record/play testing paradigm
Automates commands, but asserts must be entered by hand Creates the simplest possible Locator
Based on Selenese
Selenium IDE Demo

Look at firefox extension Look at various possible commands Record a test on AUT and play-back
Save the test at HTML file

Export the test as Java / Ruby

Selenium Modes

19
Selenium RC Mode
www.XebiaIndia.com
20
Selenium RC Mode Demo
Run selenium server Look at sample tests
www.XebiaIndia.com
21
Maintaining Selenium Tests

Test code is just like production code Needs re-factoring, abstraction API for the application
Can build tests from API building blocks

Try to maintain meaning in test names, variable names, comments, and suite organization
Selenium with Continuous Integration

Run Selenium tests as part of the build Can generate HTML reports, published to entire team
Helps catch bugs ASAP
www.XebiaIndia.com
23
Ajax Support
Selenium supports testing Web 2.0 applications Monitor the DOM for completion of Async calls waitForCondition(script, timeout)
www.XebiaIndia.com
24
Useful Selenium Tools

Chris Pederick's Web Developer toolbar XPather Firebug
Xpath Checker
www.XebiaIndia.com
25
Selenium Best Practices
Use Ids wherever possible (xpaths make the tests brittle) Use data-driven tests. Use a JSP/PHP page to generate tests In order to generate unique Ids, use timestamp Use the right level of granularity
What have we not covered?

Continuous Integration set-ups Creating screencasts using Selenium Testing of Ajax applications
Selenium Commands in detail

User Extensions
Using Python/Ruby/C# ...

Selenium Limitations

Slow when testing all the edge cases Slow for testing fine-grained features setup and tear-down are called for each test
www.XebiaIndia.com
28
Selenium Strengths

For testing Ajax applications Multiple browsers Test full-stack
www.XebiaIndia.com
29
Interesting Possibilities
Delivering Selenium Screencast as Documentation to end-users Creating a report with screenshots
A Server having VMWare images of various OS/browser and each submitting a report back
www.XebiaIndia.com
30
Summary
Selenium is a testing framework for Web Applications Drivers allow web testing in language of choice Test scripts are code: need maintenance, re-factoring
www.XebiaIndia.com
31
Summary

Can be used on Developer machines Most valuable when used with CI set-up Can be used to make screen casts
Tests run on real browser most people use it to test their JavaScript works predictably on all browsers
Summary
Can be used for unit-testing, regression testing, smoke-testing, integration and acceptance testing
