This document provides an overview and instructions for using Selenium and TestNG for automated testing of Sakai. It discusses Selenium IDE for recording and playing back tests, using XPath to locate elements, creating test suites, and how to set up and run the Sakai test suite using Selenium Remote Control and TestNG from the command line. Links are also provided for additional Selenium and TestNG documentation.

5. Selenium IDE

6. Additional Add-ons…

7. Open up the IDE

8. IDE Controls

9. Record a Test

10. Steps... Navigate to webpage Start Recording Execute Test Procedure Stop Recording Edit (if needed)

11. XPath Selenium IDE will give you options for the 'target' value.

12. XPath Using the Firebug Inspect function will give you additional options for the 'target' value.

13. Manual XPath Any element that has an attribute (The first matching element will be selected): // input [@ value =' submit '] <input type= &quot;image&quot; src= &quot;/library/skin/rsmart/images/loginButton.gif&quot; value= &quot;submit&quot; /> An input with a value of submit . Any element that 'contains' an attribute with specific text: // a [ contains (@ href ,' resources.doc& ')] <a title= &quot;Attach a copy&quot; href= &quot;localhost:8080/resources.doc&sakai_action=doAttachitem&quot; >Attach a copy</a> An a element that contains an href attribute with the text resources.doc& anywhere in it. In this case the title attribute could not be used because there was more than one element on the page with the title value of Attach a copy .

14. Test Suite

15. Test Suite Selenium IDE allows for creation of Test Suites right in the IDE.

16. Test Suite Example

17. Selenium RC and TestNG

18. Sakai Test Suite Selenium Remote Control Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. Selenium RC comes in two parts. A server which automatically launches and kills browsers, and acts as a HTTP proxy for web requests from them. Client libraries for your favorite computer language. TestNG TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionality that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as: JDK 5 Annotations (JDK 1.4 is also supported with JavaDoc annotations). Flexible test configuration. Support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider). Support for parameters. Allows distribution of tests on slave machines. Powerful execution model (no more TestSuite). Supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins (Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, etc...). Embeds BeanShell for further flexibility. Default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies). Dependent methods for application server testing. TestNG is designed to cover all categories of tests: unit, functional, end-to-end, integration, etc..

19. Sakai Test Suite Kick off test_suite from the command line with two commands: ant launch-remote-control ant -Dsuite=sakai-suite-setup-27.xml
