• Need • Testing web application is a good way to ensure that

new versions don't introduce bugs and regressions• Allows development team to make changes and

refactor code with more confidence as functionalities can be quickly verified

• Automated testing saves time and money• Tools

• Selenium• Watir• HP UFT ( for non-browser based applications as well)• Windmill etc..

• Developed by Jason Huggins in 2004 at ThoughtWorks

• Many ThoughtWorks programmers and testers joined together and developed the set of tools in the Selenium Suite

• Why the name Selenium??!

• Collection of numerous software tools each with an alternative strategy for promoting test automation

• Automates browsers• It is an open-source (free) tool• Test domain specific language – Selenese• Selenium IDE – no need to know test scripting

language• Supports the following

• Languages : Java , JavaScript, C#, Python, PHP, Ruby etc.,

• Browsers : Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari etc.,

• Selenium IDE• Selenium Core• Selenium RC (Remote Control), Also known as

Selenium 1• Selenium Webdriver or Selenium 2• Selenium Grid

• IDE – Integrated Development Environment• Firefox plug-in• Record and play back• Programming knowledge not required• Can be downloaded from

http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/• Can be used with Firefox alone - hence Selenium

RC and Web Driver came into picture

• Was developed after Selenium RC• Selenium 1 + Web Driver = Selenium 2• Piece of code• Controls browser by programming• Accepts command and send to browser • Supports all browsers unlike IDE

• Generally, the word “vote” means an official choice which people take in an election or meeting by casting a ballot, raising their hand or by speaking their choice. The ultimate goal of voting is to elect a leader. Some of the problems involved in voting include rigging votes during election, inaccessible polling stations, and inadequate polling materials. Online voting will address the above mentioned issues.

• “Online Voting System” is an online voting portal through which people of age 18 or above have the right to cast their vote. Firstly, the person who has the right to vote is requested to register himself through the portal. The person has to add his username and password.

• Besides this, information such as age, address and pin code is to be updated and these details are stored in a database. After successful registration, the user is allotted a unique voter id using which his login is validated along with his username and password.

• If invalid/wrong details are Submitted, then the citizen is not registered to vote. User’s registration is authenticated by the system administrator and he will store the details of the users in a separate database.

• The Online voting system will have a candidate list i.e. it is the list of those people who are contesting in election. The user after login will be directed to the ballot paper page which has the list of candidates. The user will choose a candidate and cast his vote by selecting the radio button.

• After the user is done with the voting process, he will need to confirm his selection. There is counter value which is allotted for every candidate. For each vote the counter value is incremented. The counter value is initially zero.

• The primary purpose of conducting the test on Online Voting System is to ensure that the website works as expected i.e. we check for the availability of bugs or errors.

• The Online Voting System should be efficient in allowing a user to successfully login into his account. If the user needs to register in order to cast his vote, the portal should allow the user to register himself for voting. Lastly, the website should be highly responsive and must be available with no downtime.

PROS

• Open source and portal • Easy to use• Supports various Operating System – Windows, Macintosh, Linux

etc.• Supports programming languages – Java, Perl, Python etc.• Supports various browsers – Chrome, Firefox etc.• Can be integrated with other frameworks of ANT, Maven etc• Prompt test development – used in Agile projects• Different components available – Selenium IDE, Selenium Grid

CONS• Supports only web based application • Difficult to test image based application• Does not generate detailed results• Needs help of third party frameworks• Technical issue with browsers other than Firefox • No built in IDE for scripting• Selenium IDE is Firefox plugin, thus its support is limited to Firefox

only• IDE does not support database testing• Demands higher-level technical skills
