Software Testing

Assignment 6
Name: Samidha Gokul Unhale
Id: 211081076
Batch: D

Aim:
To use selenium and automate testing steps by manually entering the steps for testing

Theory:
Selenium is an open-source automation tool widely used for testing web applications across
different browsers and platforms. It allows testers and developers to automate browser actions,
such as clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating between pages, to verify that web
applications behave as expected. Selenium supports multiple programming languages like
Java, Python, C#, and JavaScript for writing test scripts and integrates easily with tools like
TestNG, JUnit, and Maven for test management. Its suite includes components like Selenium
WebDriver, Selenium IDE, and Selenium Grid, enabling both simple record-and-playback testing
and complex, distributed test execution. Selenium’s flexibility, community support, and
compatibility with modern web technologies make it a popular choice for automation in
continuous testing and DevOps pipelines.

Procedure:
Step 1: Install Selenium IDE
1. Open Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox (Selenium IDE supports both).
2. Search for Selenium IDE extension for your browser.
3. Click Add to Chrome (or Firefox) and install the extension.
4. Once installed, you should see the Selenium IDE icon in the browser toolbar.
Step 2: Launch Selenium IDE
1. Click on the Selenium IDE icon in your browser.
2. A new Selenium IDE window will open.

Step 3: Create a New Test


1. Click Create a New Project and provide a project name.
2. Click OK to proceed.
3. Enter the Base URL (the website you want to test).
4. Click Start Recording.

Step 4: Record Test Steps


1. Selenium IDE will open the website you entered as the Base URL.
2. Perform actions on the webpage, such as:
○ Clicking buttons
○ Filling out forms
○ Navigating to different pages
3. Selenium IDE will record all your actions as test steps.
Step 5: Stop and Save the Test
1. Click the Stop Recording button in Selenium IDE.
2. Click Save and provide a meaningful test name.
3. The recorded steps will now be saved in Selenium IDE.
Step 6: Play Back the Test
1. Click on the Play button to run the recorded test.
2. Selenium IDE will execute all the recorded actions automatically.
3. If the test passes, you’ll see a green checkmark; if it fails, you’ll get an error message.
Step 7: Analyze Test Results
● If a test fails, Selenium IDE highlights the failed step.
● Click on the failed step to debug and fix issues.
● Modify the test case as needed and re-run it.
We can also save this file:
Step 8: Export Test Cases (Optional)
● Selenium IDE allows exporting test cases in different programming languages like Java,
Python, or C#.
● Click on Export and choose the preferred format.
● This helps if you want to integrate the test into a Selenium WebDriver framework.

Step 8: Export Test Cases (Optional)


● Selenium IDE allows exporting test cases in different programming languages like Java,
Python, or C#.
● Click on Export and choose the preferred format.
● This helps if you want to integrate the test into a Selenium WebDriver framework.
Step 9: Run Multiple Test Cases
1. Add multiple test cases to create a test suite.
2. Click Run All Tests to execute the entire suite.
3. Monitor the results to see if all test cases pass.
Conclusion:
By completing these steps, we learned how to install and set up Selenium IDE, create a new
testing project, record user interactions with a web application, save the recorded test cases,
and replay them to validate web functionality. Selenium IDE makes it easy to automate browser
activities without needing to write complex code, making it an ideal tool for beginners in
automation testing. Through this exercise, we understood how Selenium captures each user
action as a command and how playback helps verify if the web application behaves as
expected. We also practiced analyzing test results, identifying errors, and making necessary
corrections, which is an essential part of maintaining reliable automated tests.
