Selenium Origin

Selenium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Se and atomic number 34

Selenium was developed by team of Programmers and testers at ThoughtWorks to test their web based time and expenses system.Javascript Functional Test Runner was written by Jason Huggins, Paul Gross and Jie Tina Wang, in 2004.

What is Selenium and whats it for?

4

Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just as real users do A java Script BasedOpen SourceWeb Testing ToolThat Support web 2.0 ApplicationOn Multiple BrowserAnd multiple OS

No other test tool covers such a wide array of

platforms


Contd..

Selenium is not meant for unit testingIts used for Functional or system TestingBut Not for Performance Testing


Platform and Browser compatibility

Supported Platforms: Windows:

Internet Explorer 6.0 Firefox 0.8 to 1.5 Mozilla Suite 1.6+, 1.7+ Seamonkey 1.0 Opera 8

Mac OS X: Safari 1.3+ Firefox 0.8 to 1.5 Camino 1.0a1 Mozilla Suite 1.6+, 1.7+ Seamonkey 1.0

Linux: Firefox 0.8 to 1.5 Mozilla Suite 1.6+, 1.7+ Konqueror

Introduction

Selenium

IDE CORE RC

Record Mode Bot Mode: HTML tables Driven Mode. Test Case in different Language


Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium testsIt is implemented as a Firefox extension. (Note no IE Extension Available)It allows us to record, edit, and debug testsSelenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run.Selenium IDE is not only recording tool: it is a complete IDEYou can choose to use its recording capability, or you may edit your scripts by hand


How to Start work with Selenium IDE?

Download from http://www.openqa.org/selenium-ide/download.action

When you will download selenium IDE with firefox, it should automatically ask you to install the plugin.

In case if we downloaded the file with Opera or IE. No problem:


Contd..

Open firefoxfrom the menu: Tools ->Add-ons--> Extensionsnow drag-n-drop the xpi file to the extensions windowrestart firefoxYou can see a 'Selenium IDE' entry from your tools menu

Note: First, Always we have to record test in IDE with Fire fox, then we could playback in IE using seleniumTest runner and also for Phpunit(RC)


IDE


Features:

Easy record and playbackDebug and set breakpointsAutocomplete for all common Selenium commands Save tests as HTML, PHP scripts, or any other formatSupport for Selenium user-extensions.js fileOption to automatically assert the title of every page


Selenium-CORE

Selenium core is a test tool for web

For Web application

Selenium core tests run directly

In a browserJust as real users do !!

Written in Pure JAVAScript

AndDHTML


How to Start work with Selenium CORE?

To use Selenium Core, you need to make it available from the same web server as the application you want to test

Normally, this is as simple as extracting the Selenium Core zip file into the Document Root, htdocs, or webroot of your webserver.

Then, try to open the TestRunner.html page on your website, which should be in the core/ directory.


Live Example

Testing Google/QMetry Application with IDE and Core


HTA Mode

Selenium Core provides an additional mechanism for running automated tests called "HTA mode.“An hta file is simply an html file but the extension “. hta” means that when we navigated to IE, it will apply same strict security measure

Window+Selenium core+IE

To run Selenium Core in HTA mode, just double-click on TestRunner.hta, in the /core directory of your Selenium installation.


Selenium RC

Allow us to write automated web application in any programming language (Java, .NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP)

Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which cans automatically start/stop/control, any supported browser

The Selenium Server communicates directly with browser using AJAX

Selenium Server acts as a client-configured HTTP proxy, to stand in between the browser and your website.


RC Architecture


How to Start Selenium Server

The Selenium Server is written in Java, and requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5.0 or higher in order to start. You may already have it installed. Try running this from the command line:

java –versionOnce you've got Java installed and ready to go, you can start the Selenium Server from the command line like this:

Go to /selenium directory/server/java -jar selenium-server.jar -interactive


Contd..

That will start the Selenium Server and allow you to type commands in the command window. After a number of log messages, you should see the following message:

Entering interactive mode... type Selenium commands here (e.g: cmd=open&1=http://www.yahoo.com)

Let's begin by using Selenium Server to open up a browser. If you're on Windows and want to run your Selenium commands using Internet Explorer, try typing this:

cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*iexplore&2=http://www.google.com


Contd..

If all goes well, you should see a new browser window starting with the browser of your choice. Back in the Selenium Server command window, you should see the following message:

Got result: OK, 260113 on session 260113


How I Solved this Error??

When I Test Remote Site through PHPUnit then I was getting following error

Error: Testing_Selenium_Exception: could not get response form RC

I have started My server through following command

Java –jar selenium-server.jar -proxyInjectionMode


ProxyInjectionMode

"Proxy injection" mode is a new highly experimental feature for 0.9.0

Normal Mode ProxyInjectionMode Mode

They Keep two automated test windows 1.Selenium

2.Your Application


ProxyInjectionMode

They eliminate the separate Selenium window, in favor of "injecting" Selenium into every HTML page

By injecting ourselves into the HTML, They have increased control over our application

To use PI mode, you need to start the Selenium Server with a special command line argument, like this

java -jar selenium-server.jar –proxyInjectionModecmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*pifirefox&2=http://www.google.com


Test Application in IE

Two way to Test Application in IEDirectly click on .hta fileThrough PHPUnit

Elevated Security PrivilegeThe two experimental "elevated security privilege" browser launchers are:*iehta: Launches Internet Explorer as an HTML Application (HTA). *chrome: Launches Firefox using a chrome URL.


Test IE Application with PHPUnit

CASE I: If Selenium Server is in Proxy InjectionMode Start server in Proxy Injection ModeRun Selenium IDE and record step with firefoxGo to OptionsFormatPHP-selenium RCCopy that PHP code and paste in PHPUnit FolderPHPUnit will be in C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\PHPUnitMake xyz.php file (you could give different Name)Open that PHP file and change following line from $this-Selenium= new Testing_Selenium (“*firefox”,http://localhost:4444/);to $this-Selenium= new Testing_Selenium(“*iexplore”,http://localhost:4444/); Now type command phpunit xyz.php It will open IE browser for you and Test the application


CASE II: If Selenium Server isn’t in Proxy InjectionMode

Start server in Proxy Injection ModeRun Selenium IDE and record step with firefoxGo to OptionsFormatPHP-selenium RCCopy that PHP code and paste in PHPUnit FolderPHPUnit will be in C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\PHPUnitMake xyz.php file (you could give different Name)Open that PHP file and change following line from $this-Selenium= new Testing_Selenium (“*firefox”,http://localhost:4444/);to $this-Selenium= new Testing_Selenium(“*iehta”,http://localhost:4444/);


DATA-Driven

Code to Fetch Data from Excel Sheet//code added by Niranjan $arr=array(1=>'a','b','c','d','e');$filename = "c:\Info1.xls";$sheet1 = "sheet1";$excel_app = new COM("Excel.application") or Die ("Did not connect");$Workbook = $excel_app->Workbooks->Open($filename) or Die("Did not open $filename $Workbook");$Worksheet = $Workbook->Worksheets($sheet1);$Worksheet->activate;//$excel_cell = $Worksheet->Range("A1");$excel_cell->activate;

for($i=1; $i<5;$i++) { for($j=1; $j<5;$j++) {

$excel_cell = $Worksheet->Range($arr[$i].$j); print "The value is $arr[$i].$j => \n" .$excel_cell->value;}}
