This document provides an overview of Selenium and how to set it up for Android application testing. Selenium is an open source tool for automating web application testing across browsers. It has evolved from supporting only Firefox to also supporting Chrome, IE, and mobile browsers via the WebDriver API. The document outlines how to install the Android SDK, set up an emulator, install the Android driver, and write Python scripts to remotely control an Android emulator using Selenium. It also briefly discusses limitations and provides links for additional resources on Android and Selenium automation.

20. Why Webdriver ?
 WebElement.findElement is universal - all UIs are
trees
 Web has DOM (elements)
 Windows has HWND
 Android has Views

21. Why Webdriver ?
 Many operations are universal between all UIs
Matching:
clear
click
findElement(By.id)

22. Why Webdriver ?
 Extensible API
 WebDriver API extensions, such as Rotatable,
 RenderedWebElement, are implemented by a subset of
drivers.
 Creating a new API for every platform is cumbersome
instead:
 Emphasize the similarities with the core WebDriver API
 Supply simple platform-specific extensions as needed.
 Facilitate piece-wise code re-usage

Phase 4 Phase 5 Phase 6
Port ForwardingInstall the App Run your test

26. Download Android SDK
 Web link: www. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

27. Installation Command
Update SDK
./android update sdk
Create Emulator
./android create avd --target 2 --name newavd
Run emulator
./emulator.exe -avd newavd

28. Installation Command
Install android driver in emulator
./adb install name_and
Forward port
./adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080
If You are using eclipse then install ADT kit

29. Script
 // Calling android driver
 AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver();
 // And now use this to visit Google
 driver.get("http://google.com");
 // Find the text input element by its name
 WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
 // Enter something to search for
 element.sendKeys("Tech Propulsion Labs");

30. Script
 // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us
from the element
 element.submit();
 // Check the title of the page
 System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
 //Turn off the driver
 driver.quit();

31. Limitations
 Slower than Headless WebKit Driver
 Support for SDK versions 2.2 and prior, has been
deprecated
 Does not work on emulators running 2.3 because of
an emulator bug that should be fixed soon by
Android. However it works on Devices running 2.3
and higher

32. DEMO

33. QUESTION

34. By python
 To install the Python client library:
# pip install -U selenium
 # Import the Selenium 2 namespace (aka "webdriver")
from selenium import webdriver
 iPhone
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="iphone",
command_executor='http://172.24.101.36:3001/hub')
 Android
driver = webdriver.Remote(browser_name="android",
command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:8080/hub')
 Google Chrome
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
 Firefox
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
