Why Automated Testing?

Automated Software Testing Saves Time and Money

Vastly Increases Your Test Coverage Testing Improves Accuracy Automation Does What Manual Testing Cannot Automated QA Testing Helps Developers and

Testers QA and Dev Team Morale Improves

Advantages and Disadvantages of Automated Testing

Reliable: eliminating human error

Reusable

Better Quality Software

Fast

Cost Reduction

High investment is needed in the tools and training

High man power requirement for test preparations

A lot of testing areas left uncovered

Advantages Disadvantages

Selecting an Automation Tool

Support for Various Operating Systems, Applications and Platforms Support for Mobile Devices Support for Various Software Testing Types Creating Automated Tests Without Programming Recording Automated Software Tests Creating Cross-Browser Web Tests Creating Cross-Platform Mobile Web Tests

Selenium Core

Selenium Core is a component core JavaScript Library developed by the Jason Huggins and ThoughtWorks Team.

Selenium Core is the foundation for other components Selenium IDE & Selenium RC

Selenium IDE

Can do Record and Playback Create & edit Test Cases & Test Suites Extensions for Firefox Run Selenese Commands Convert Test Case to different languages

Selenium IDE

General Selenese Commands

clicking a link - click or clickAndWait commands entering values - type command selecting options from a drop-down list-box - select command clicking checkboxes or radio buttons - click command

Selenium Remote Control (RC)

Selenium 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.1. A server which automatically launches and kills browsers, and acts as a

HTTP proxy for web requests from them.2. Client libraries for your favorite computer language.

Selenium Web Driver

Selenium Web Driver is in version 2.0

Selenium Web Driver APIs makes Native API calls to the browser. Native automation faster and a little less prone to error and browser

configuration Does not Requires Selenium-RC Server to be running Access to headless HTMLUnit can allow really fast tests

Selenium Grid

Selenium-Grid allows the Selenium-RC solution to scale for test suites or test suites to be run in multiple environments.

With Selenium-Grid multiple instances of Selenium-RC are running on various operating system and browser configurations, each of these when launching register with a hub. When tests are sent to the hub they are then redirected to an available Selenium-RC, which will launch the browser and run the test.

This allows for running tests in parallel, with the entire test suite theoretically taking only as long to run as the longest individual test.
