1. SAHI Open Source
Automation Tool

2. What is SAHI?
“Sahi OS” is an open source automation and
testing tool for web applications, with the
facility to record and playback scripts.
Developed in Java and JavaScript, this tool
uses simple JavaScript to execute events on
the browser.

3. SAHI runs as proxy server

money

Excel and CSV file
• Logging/reports

6. Advantages of SAHI OS -3
One significant point is that Sahi gives the visible text a higher priority
than other code related properties like css style.
This helps in two ways;
• Writing and maintaining test scripts become very easy. What you see
is what you script.
• It validates what a user sees and not what a developer coded.

./testrunner.sh BBS/bbs.sah http://www.ebay.com/ firefox
• On Windows
./testrunner.bat BBS/bbs.sah http://www.ebay.com/ firefox

15. Multi Thread Testing
• No need to install any other 3rd party program to run parallel tests.
• Just create test.suite file which includes our .sah files.
• And run
./testrunner.sh BBS/bbs.suite http://www.ebay.com/ firefox

16. Headless Browsers and SAHI
• Sahi supports PhantomJS and X11 to run scripts via headless
browsers.
• First need to up sahi server without its own dashboard.
./start_sahi.sh
