5. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Web application and testing terminology
What is web application?
What is testing for web application?

6. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
What is web application?
server side resources (PHP code, Jsp, Servlet, Java ....)
client side resources (html, javascript, css, images..)

7. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
What is testing for web application?
As for single applications testing, the objective is to look for
potential bugs in the web application.
Unit test
During development, for developers.
Instant feedback.
Easy to maintain.
End to end test
Presented to the client.
Easy to read.

8. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Functionality
Links
Forms
Html/Css validation
Data

9. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Functionality
check all the links(internal/external/mail)
check all the forms(validation, messages
(error,confirmation,...),mandatory and optional fields)
Html/Css validation (https://validator.w3.org/)
Data Consistency/ Data Integrity

10. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Usability
Learning curve
Ease of navigation
Content consistency

11. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Usability
how to measure the interaction between the person and the web
application.
ease of navigation (complex web interface vs simple web
interface/how many clicks do I need to get the job done/ the
user expect the web application to be easy to use).
content consistency(main menu should be visible on all pages,
avoid annoying colors and fonts, image placement should be
nifty, whenever you encounter an anchored text you would
expect it to work properly etc.... ).

12. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Interface
Web Server
Database

13. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Interface
The web application should be able to interact properly with the
server side including the database, the network and the database

14. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Compatibility

15. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Performance
Load test
many users are loading the same page, simultaneous user
requests,heavy load ...

16. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Performance
Stress test
Push the web application to it’s limits to observe how it
behaves, how it recovers.
Generally input fields are pushed the most.
Performed on different operating systems and different
hardware to detect flaws like potential memory leaks.
Could be used to measure scalability.

17. Selenium - Web Browser Automation
Introduction to Selenium
Security
Access
if you have different level of user access, you should check that
only the authorized users could view only the content at their
level.
Other related security tests
vulnerability, password cracking, viruses and malware
detection..
