    Selenium and Selenium Remote Control Gojko Adzic Why should you care? Automate Web user interface tests verify functionality in different browsers on different platforms check periodically to see if the site is on-line and works correctly. RC->browser communication is a speed bottleneck (run in grid, overnight) UI is brittle, tests depending on the UI break a lot (DSTL might fix this, page abstractions as well)

    Why should you care?


    Automate Web user interface tests  Verify functionality in different browsers on different platforms  Check periodically to see if the site is on-line and works correctly
    

    Selenium in a nut-shell
    Javascript functional test runner  Started by Jason Huggins, Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang, in 2004.  Opensource product  Actively developed and maintained by Thoughtworks  Download from OpenQA.org
    

    Selenese the language of Selenium

    Lots of different commands to manipulate DOM elements and verify text, DOM or timing  Locate elements by name, id, xpath...  Tests are described as tables

    Domain specific testing language

    What's good?
      

    Relatively easy to automate web UI tests Record/Replay for regression tests RC allows integration with CI and JUnit/FitNesse tests

    What's bad?
    

    Speed: RC->Browser communication is a speed bottleneck (run in grid, overnight) UI is brittle, tests depending on the UI break a lot (DSTL might fix this, page abstractions as well) Data-backed tests are not easily repeatable (integrate with DB test engines)

    Best practices
      

    Use Selenium to verify workflow and session Don't use it to check business rules Don't put Selenium tests in your main development build run them overnight Have dedicated machines that run tests DON'T THINK OF THIS AS A REPLACEMENT FOR EXPLORATORY TESTING!!!

     

    Although selenium is an essential trace element, it is toxic if taken in excess.
