Func'onal
tes'ng
• Test
func'onal
requirements
-­‐ e.g.
no
access
to
profile
without
authen'ca'on
• Test
UI
elements
on
the
web
interface
-­‐ e.g.
buRons,
form
elements,
AJAX
controls,
…

10. A
word
of
cau'on!

• UA
tests
only
test
generated
output
-­‐ not
a
replacement
for
unit
tes'ng
• UA
tests
are
heavily
depending
on
DOM
-­‐ changes
to
the
DOM
might
lead
to
failing

29. The
PHPUnit
TestCase
29
<?php
class Example extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
protected function setUp()
{
$this->setBrowser("*chrome");
$this->setBrowserUrl("http://www.theialive.com/");
}
public function testMyTestCase()
{
$this->open("/");
$this->click("link=login");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->type("id=email", "dragonbe+tek13@gmail.com");
$this->type("id=password", "test1234");
$this->click("id=signin");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->click("link=Test demo");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->assertEquals("Done", $this->getText("xpath=//th[5]"));
$this->click("link=[EDIT]");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->assertTrue($this->isElementPresent("id=done"));
$this->click("link=sign off");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
}
}
?>

30. Change
class
name

<?php
class Example extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
protected function setUp()
