Test automation using selenium
- 2. Contents Introduction to test Automation. Drawbacks of Manual Testing When does test Automation make sense? Introduction to Selenium Selenium Components Introduction to TestNG Framework. 2
- 3. Test Automation The process of converting the manual test cases to test scripts by using any automation tool is known as Automation. 3
- 4. Drawbacks of Manual Testing Manual testing is not accurate at all times due to human error, hence it is less reliable. Manual testing is time-consuming, taking up human resources. Manual testing is only practical when the test cases are run once or twice. 4
- 5. When Does Test Automation make sense? When there are many repetitive tests When there are frequent regression testing iterations When you need to simulate large number of users who are using the application resources When AUT is having comparatively stable UI When you have large set of BVT cases When you can’t rely on manual test execution for critical functionality 5

- 7. Selenium Selenium is one of the most popular automated testing suites. Selenium is designed in a way to support and encourage automation testing of functional aspects of web-based applications and a wide range of browsers and platforms. Due to its existence in the open source community, it has become one of the most accepted tools amongst the testing professionals. 7
- 8. Why Selenium ? It is free and open source. Have cross browser compatibility (Firefox, chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari etc. Have great platform compatibility (Windows, Mac OS, Linux etc.) Supports multiple programming languages (Java, C#, Ruby, Python, Pearl etc.) Saves time and money, manual effort. We can maintain Accuracy by repeating the same task in same manner. Have a large user base and helping communities 8
- 9. Limitation of Selenium Selenium supports testing of only web based applications Mobile applications cannot be tested using Selenium Captcha and Bar code readers cannot be tested using Selenium Reports can only be generated using third party tools like TestNG or Junit. User is expected to possess prior programming language knowledge. 9
- 10. Selenium Components Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Selenium Remote Control (RC) WebDriver Selenium Grid 10
- 11. Selenium IDE It is a Firefox plugin that you can install as easily as you can with other plugins. However, because of its simplicity, Selenium IDE should only be used as a prototyping tool. If you want to create more advanced test cases, you will need to use either Selenium RC or WebDriver. 11
- 12. Selenium IDE - UI 12
- 13. Limitations of Selenium IDE Can run the test only on Firefox No Programming login (like loops, conditional statements) can be applied Selenium IDE can execute scripts created in Selenese only. Selenese is the set of selenium commands which are used to test your web application. Tester can test the broken links, existence of some object on the UI, Ajax functionality, Alerts, window, list options and lot more using selenese. It is difficult to use Selenium IDE for checking complex test cases involving dynamic contents 13
- 14. Selenium RC A solution to cross browser testing. A server, written in Java and so available on all the platforms. Acts as a proxy for web requests from them. Client libraries for many popular languages. Bundles Selenium Core and automatically loads into the browser This is the first automated web testing tool that allowed users to use a programming language they prefer. Selenium RC has Built-In Test Result Generator 14
- 15. Selenium RC Structure 15
- 16. Selenium Webdriver WebDriver is a tool for testing web applications across different browsers using different programming languages. WebDriver is faster than Selenium RC because of its simpler architecture. WebDriver directly talks to the browser while Selenium RC needs the help of the RC Server in order to do so. WebDriver's API is more concise than Selenium RC's. 16
- 18. Setup Selenium Java Development Kit (JDK).http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Eclipse IDE - http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Java Client Driver - http://seleniumhq.org/download/ When starting a WebDriver project in Eclipse, do not forget to import the Java Client Driver files onto your project Each other browser has its own driver server. 18
- 19. Locating an Element Locating elements in WebDriver is done by using the findElement() and findElements() method. The following are the available options for locating elements in WebDriver: 1. By.className 2. By.cssSelector 3. By.id 4. By.linkText 5. By.name 6. By.partialLinkText 7. By.tagName 8. By.xpath 19
- 20. Navigation Commands WebDriver provides these useful navigation commands navigate().forward() navigate().back() navigate().to() navigate().refresh() Close() is used to close a single window; while quit() is used to close all windows associated to the parent window that the WebDriver object was controlling. 20
- 21. More Commands Waits In Selenium 1. Implicit Waits: 2. Explicit Waits: Visibility Of Elements: web elements can be buttons, drop boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels etc. 1. isDisplayed() 2. isSelected() 3. isEnabled() For Alerts and frames: use switchTo 21
- 22. Selenium Grid It is Latest Selenium tool. Selenium Grid can be used to execute same or different test scripts on multiple platforms and browsers concurrently so as to achieve distributed test execution, testing under different environments and saving execution time remarkably. In Simple words it is used in parallel Executions of Programs. 22
- 23. TestNG Framework TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionality that make it more powerful and easier to use. It is an open source automated testing framework . where NG of TestNG means Next Generation. 23
- 24. Benefits of TestNG There are number of benefits but from Selenium perspective, major advantages of TestNG are - It gives the ability to produce HTML Reports of execution Annotations made testers life easy Test cases can be Grouped & Prioritized more easily Parallel testing is possible Generates Logs Data Parameterization is possible 24
