Selenium IDE :
Controls and Commands
Selenium IDE UI
 Menu Bar
 File menu
 New/Open/Save Test Suite and Test Case
 Edit menu
 Copy, paste, delete, undo, and select all operations for editing the test cases
 Options menu
 Changing of settings e.g. set the timeout value, add user-defined user
extensions and specify the format (language)

 Base URL
 Allows test scripts to be run across different domains

21. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava
Selenium IDE :
Controls and Commands
Selenium IDE UI
 Toolbar - Buttons in the tool bar are used to control the test scripts
Speed Control: controls how fast test case runs
Run All: Runs the entire test suite when a test suite with multiple test cases is loaded
Run: Runs the currently selected test. When only a single test is loaded this button and
the Run All button have the same effect
Pause/Resume: Allows stopping and re-starting of a running test case

Selenium IDE :
Controls and Commands
Selenium IDE UI
 Toolbar - Buttons in the tool bar are used to control the test scripts
Allows to “step” through a test case by running it one command at a time. Use for
debugging test cases
Apply Rollup Rules: Allows repetitive sequences of Selenium commands to be grouped
into a single action
Record: Records the user’s browser actions
Reload test case

Selenium IDE :
Controls and Commands
Test Suite Vs Test Case
Test Case: A single step or collection of steps to test
a condition/path or feature. It contains steps and
expected result for each step or test case.
Test Suite: Collection of test cases to test
function/feature.
A test case can be path of multiple test suites.

24. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava
Selenium IDE :
Controls and Commands
Create a test suite
The optional fields are a test case ID, test step or order of execution
number, related requirement(s), depth, test category, author, and check
boxes for whether the test is automatable and has been automated.
It may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions of the
following tests.
It can have any combination of Test Cases which are required for the
corresponding Testing phase.
So 2 Test Suites can actually have the same or widely different Test
Cases.
