<br />
= Day 1 =<br />
== Day 1 Agenda ⌘==<br />
* Why automation ?<br />
* Selenium 1<br />
* Exercise<br />
* Selenium RC<br />
* Architecture<br />
* Exercise<br />
* Limitations of Selenium RC<br />
* Introduction to WebDriver<br />
<br />
==Selenium IDE ⌘==<br />
* Free Firefox plug-in<br />
* Selenium IDE adds a layer of Record/Playback to Selenium.<br />
* Provides the ability to debug test scripts.<br />
* Auto complete common selenium commands<br />
* Export tests in different formats like HTML,Ruby,Python,JUnit and so on<br />
* Supports user extensions.<br />
<br />
== Exercise Selenium IDE ⌘==<br />
* Record a test<br />
* Parametrize test<br />
* Execute test<br />
<br />
== Exercise ⌘==<br />
* Open ''google'' in Firefox<br />
* Open Selenium IDE,Tools -Selenium IDE<br />
* Ensure that Selenium IDE is in recording mode<br />
* Type “''NobleProg''” in the google search bar and click search<br />
* On the search results verify that “''NobleProg - Training Courses and Consultancy | NobleProg''” is present.<br />
* Save the test case as search_ide<br />
* Run saved test case back again using the IDE<br />
* View the results back in IDE<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
What are Limitations of Selenium IDE ?<br />
<br />
== Selenium Remote Control ⌘==<br />
* A server, written in Java and so available on all platforms.<br />
* Acts as a proxy for web requests from them.<br />
* Client libraries for many popular languages.<br />
* Bundles Selenium Core and automatically loads into the browser.<br />
<br />
==Exercise – Selenium RC ⌘==<br />
* Import test scenario created in Exercise 1<br />
* Any comfortable language<br />
* Add the same to Development IDE<br />
* Execute the test<br />
* Parameterize test<br />
<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
Is Selenium RC better ?<br />
<br />
==Selenium RC Benefits ⌘==<br />
* Can be used for any Java Script Enabled browser.<br />
* Have access to the complete features/libraries of the high level language<br />
* Can be used to automate complex test cases.<br />
* Makes it possible to create fast,robust and scalable automation.<br />
<br />
==Interesting Stuff ⌘==<br />
* Element Locators<br />
** Based on Xpath, firepath is handy <br />
** Based on DOM<br />
* Element Filters<br />
** Based on Index<br />
** Based on value<br />
* Regular Expression<br />
* WaitForXXX, eval, screenshot and so on.<br />
<br />
==Selenium Remote Control ⌘==<br />

<br />
== Selenium Present Problems ⌘==<br />
[[File:Selenium-present-problems1.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
== Test Automation Problems⌘==<br />
* What should be automated<br />
* Who write automated tests<br />
* When to stop automating<br />
* For who are the automated tests<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
Any thoughts on how Selenium RC issues were Mitigated ??? <br />
<br />
== New API - WebDriver ⌘==<br />
* To mitigate most of the issues Selenium RC had<br />
* Selenium 2 Bindings along side Selenium 1<br />
* One jar that holds the Selenium 1 Remote Control and the new Selenium Server.<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
What were the effects of Merge Any Thoughts ???? <br />
<br />
== - ⌘==<br />
* Simpler API<br />
* Speed<br />
* Scalability<br />
* Shared Javascript Atoms<br />
* Previous client Languages still the same<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
Frameworks already on Selenium should we decommission them ??⌘==<br />
<br />
== Moving from 1 to 2⌘==<br />
WebDriverBackedSelenium<br />
<br />
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();<br />
Selenium sel = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver,”http://google.com”);<br />
selenium.open(“/”);<br />
<br />
== ⌘==<br />
Selenium 2 Made Automation Easy <br />
<br />
= Day 2 =<br />
== Day 2 Agenda ⌘==<br />
* Design Tests<br />
* Design Patterns and Development Strategies<br />
* Cross browser Testing<br />
* AJAX Applications<br />
* Handling Alerts<br />
* Windows Authentication<br />
<br />
== How to Avoid Ambiguous/Meaningless framework ⌘==<br />
Intent Action<br />
<br />
<br />
== Action ⌘==<br />
* Open http://gmail.com<br />
* type 'User Id','someone@gmail.com'<br />
* Type 'password','password123'<br />
* ClickAndWait 'Log In'<br />
<br />
== Intent ⌘==<br />
* Login<br />
* Change password<br />
* Modify profile<br />
* Log out<br />
