The document discusses the history and evolution of Selenium and some of its key features. It describes how Selenium started as a solution to automate testing for a Python application and help address problems with browser compatibility. Over time, Selenium grew in popularity and was expanded through additions like the Selenium IDE, support for different browsers, and the ability to extend its functionality through user-defined scripts and customizations. The document emphasizes that true value comes from effectively implementing automation solutions and shares some strategies like using page object models, integrating with CI tools, and taking advantage of newer Selenium capabilities like WebDriver.

13. @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com Found my first Gem…. UI Element  How can this precious gem help me?

16. @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com I want to extend Selenium with some new assertions,actions No problem User-extension.js is here for that.

20. Collecting all the gems and putting in the treasure chest @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com

23. @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com SA /** * This method would just kill the PDF */ public void closesPDF(){ { String[] dialog = new String[] { "srctestresourcesKillAcroRd32.bat"}; try { Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(dialog); System.out.println(p.getErrorStream().toString()); System.out.println(p.getInputStream().toString()); System.out.println(p.getOutputStream().toString()); System.out.println("After execution"); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block System.out.println("In the exception"); e.printStackTrace(); throw new AssertionError("No Dialogue box displayed"); } } }

25. Componentise your automation @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com

27. @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com All this is less effective if automation does not run automatically......

28. Integrate with CI tools @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com Mavenise your automation... And integrate them with Hudson...

29. Distribute the Tests @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com With Selenium Grids or Hudson Slaves...

30. Integrate with CI tools @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com What about Selenium 2.0 ?..... Will my old selenium tests run in 2.0?

31. Selenium 2.0 @testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com -Web Driver - Presentation redering etc.
