The document discusses Selenium, an open source tool for automating web application testing. It provides an overview of Selenium and its components, including Selenium IDE for recording and playing back tests in a browser, Selenium RC for distributing tests across multiple machines, and Selenium Grid for running tests in parallel across different browsers and platforms. The document also covers setting up and writing basic tests using Selenium's Ruby client driver and frameworks like Test::Unit.

8. Why choose Selenium?

Open source

Backed by Industry Players

Stable and Well Tested

Platform-independent

Uses a real browser

Allows you to use your favorite programming language

9. Types of Functional Test Tools

13. Locators

id
• id=gbar

name
• name=q

dom
• dom=document.links[0]

xpath
• xpath=//html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[2]

link
• link=English

14. Actions

open(url)

click(locator)

type(locator, value)

select(locator, optionLocator)

15. Accessors
• storeText(locator, variableName)
• from getText(locator) command
• storeLocation(variableName)
• from getLocation() command

16. Assertions
• assertText(locator, pattern)
• from getText(locator) command
• assertLocation(pattern)
• from getLocation() command
OTHER ASSERTIONS:
• verifyText
• waitForText
• verifyLocation
• waitForLocation

17. Patterns

exact
• exact:Google.com in English

glob
• glob:*in English

regexp


Selenium RC Server

Selenium RC Ruby Client Driver

Testing Frameworks for Ruby

Prototyping tests in IRB


20. Selenium RC Architecture

21. Selenium Server: Interactive Mode

is a way of rapidly prototyping tests.

requires no coding whatsoever.

allows you to immediately see the results.
Starting the server in interactive mode:
java -jar selenium-server.jar -interactive [otherOptions]

22. Selenium RC (Ruby Client Driver)
• requires ruby
• requires rubygems
• requires selenium-client gem
• gem install selenium-client

23. Testing Frameworks (Ruby)
• Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• Test::Unit
• Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD)
• Rspec
• TDD + BDD
• Shoulda
• test/spec

24. Interactive Ruby Shell
• is a shell for programming in the Ruby language
• allows the programmer to experiment with codes

25. Writing tests (Ruby / Test::Unit)

Require the following in the test script
• 'rubygems'
• 'selenium/client'
• 'test/unit'

Create a class that subclasses Test::Unit::TestCase.

Define “setup” method to set up the common test fixture.
• create a new Selenium::Client::Driver object
• run the “start” method on the selenium driver object

Add a method that begins with quot;testquot; to the class.
• make assertions in the test method.

Define “teardown” method to tear down the test fixture.
• run to “stop” method on the selenium driver object
