This document provides an overview of Selenium WebDriver for automating web application testing and integrating those tests with Jenkins as a continuous integration server. It includes introductions to Selenium WebDriver and its tools for test automation. It also covers downloading, installing, and configuring Java, Eclipse, Ant, and Jenkins. The document demonstrates integrating Selenium WebDriver tests written in Java with Jenkins by creating a sample test job. It briefly discusses another approach using Pickles to write tests in Ruby and integrate with Jenkins.

3. No, I’m not referring to the chemical element:
Is an open source framework
Provides a set of different tools for test
automation
◦ Selenium IDE
◦ Selenium Grid
◦ Selenium 1 (Selenium RC or Selenium Remote Control)
◦ Selenium 2 (Selenium WebDriver)

4. 2. Install Java1. Download Selenium
Selenium Client Drivers
◦ http://seleniumhq.org/downl
oad or
◦ https://code.google.com/p/s
elenium/
Download Java libraries
(.jar files)
Download Java JDK from
the following location:
◦ http://www.oracle.com/tech
network/java/javase/downlo
ads/index.html

5. 2. Add Home to Path1. Download Ant
Download Apache Ant
◦ http://mirrors.hostingromani
a.ro/apache.org//ant/binarie
s/apache-ant-1.9.1-bin.zip
◦ Ant is the abbreviation for
Another Neat Tool ☺☺☺☺
Add environment variables
◦ set ANT_HOME=C:apache-ant-1.9.1
◦ set JAVA_HOME=C:jdk1.6.0_24
◦ set PATH=%ANT_HOME%bin;
%JAVA_HOME%bin

6. 2. New Project1. Download Eclipse
Download Eclipse IDE for
Java Developers
◦ http://www.eclipse.org/dow
nloads/index-helios.php
Create a new project
◦ File>New>Project

7. 1. Locate the element on the page using Firebug or
Developers Tools
7

8. 2. Choose how you will identify the element
• By id
selenium.findElement(By.id (“search”));
• By xpath
• Locate the element using his attributes
selenium.findElement(By.xpath (“//input[@id=‘search’]”));
• Locate the element using the previous element. This is useful when we have multiple
elements with the same attributes
selenium.findElement(By.xpath (“//fieldset/span/input[@id=‘search’]”));
3. Interact with the element
By searchLocator = By.xpath( “//fieldset//input[@id=‘search’]”);
WebElement searchInput = selenium.findElement(searchLocator);
String searchedText = “testing”;
searchInput.sendKeys(searchedText);
8

9. We can use assert methods:
◦ assertEquals(expected, actual);
◦ assertTrue(actual);
◦ assertFalse(actual);
◦ assertNull(actual);
◦ assertNotNull(actual);
Related to our previous example
String actualText = searchInput.getText()
assertEquals(“testing”, actualText);

11. Pickels ?
◦ Based on Cucumber http://cukes.info/ (Making BDD fun)
◦ Watir (Web Application Testing in Ruby) http://watir.com/
◦ and other useful libraries all in one package
11

12. How to use it ?
◦ You must know Ruby language
◦ You can have access to Watir Api documentation
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/rdoc/1.6.5/
◦ Learn using the example provided by pickels
◦ You will create tests using Model based approach

14. Continuous Integration Server
Automate a specific task
Self test a specific build after commit
Maintain a build history of test results
Easy to configure and extend (using plugins)
Supports Revision Controls tools (Subversion, Git,
Perforce)
Much more https://wiki.jenkins-

15. 2. Open the Interface1. Download Jenkins
Download Jenkins native
packages
◦ Windows, Linux, Mac
(http://jenkins-ci.org/)
Open in browser
◦ localhost:8080

16. 4. Create Job3. Install Plugins
Install you plugins
◦ http://localhost:8080/plugin
Manager/?
◦ Manage Jenkins -> Plugin
