Goals

After completing this lab, you should be able to

• Create and run test suites using Selenium.

Selenium

Installation in Firefox

1. Go to Selenium's Home Page.
2. Scroll down to where it says "To install Selenium-IDE into firefox, go here".
3. Select the two remote sites you just created and select "Finish".
4. Download/Install version 1.0 Beta. You may need to give permission to Selenium to allow a download/installation. Restart Firefox

Using Selenium with Firefox

In Firefox, under "Tools", select "Selenium IDE". (It may be an icon on the far right toolbar) You should get a pop-up window that looks like this:

Here is a brief tour:

• You will create test cases, which are a series of events, by having Selenium record what you do. You can then replay these test cases. Typically, each test case will test some specific functionality.
• Use your mouse to hover over the red button. It should say "Now Recording. Click to stop recording."
• The green arrows are used to replay the test cases.
• You can choose to replay the test case as fast or slow as you want.
• The commands that make up the test case are in the command window. There are lots of different commands available. See the Selenium Web Page for more information about the available commands

Testing Login Functionality

Create test cases for your Login functionality.

• One test case will test the functionality when a user enters a valid username and password. You should go to the authentication page to verify too.
• One test case will test the functionality when a user enters an invalid username and password. Again, go to the authentication page as well.
• For each test case, verify the title of the response page using the assertTitle command.
• Name the test cases appropriately.

Testing other functionality of your choosing

Create test cases for your functionality of interest.

• One test case will test ??
• One test case will test????.
• For each test case, verify something using the assertNNNN command.
• Name the test cases appropriately.
