Software Testing: Automation Testing

Selenium:
Selenium is a free (open source) automated testing suite for web applications across different browsers and platforms. It is quite similar to HP Quick Test Pro (QTP) only that Selenium focuses on automating web-based applications.

Selenium is not just a single tool but a suite of software's, each catering to different testing needs of an organization. It has four components.

Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Selenium Remote Control (RC)
WebDriver
Selenium Grid

Selenium (http://docs.seleniumhq.org/projects/webdriver/) is an Interface and it is designed to overcome some limitations of selenium RC software testing tool.

Selenium WebDriver is also known as Selenium 2 and used for web as well mobile applications testing

Selenium 2(WebDriver) controls browser directly from operating system level so it is interacting very fast and with more realistic way with browsers.

Example:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class myFirefoxclass {

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.in");

String i = driver.getCurrentUrl();

System.out.println(i);

driver.close();

}

Example:

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class chromebrowser {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver_win32_2.3\\chromedriver.exe");

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

if(driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).isEnabled()){

System.out.println("Google search text box Is enabled.");

driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("WebDriver Test successful.");

driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).click();

System.out.println("Google search completed.");

}

else{

System.out.println("Google search test box Is Not enabled.");

}

driver.close();

}

The way of locating element in webdriver like Locating Element

By ID
By Name,
By Class Name,
By Tag Name,
By Xpath
By Link Text Or Partial Link and
By CSS Selector

Creating New Instance Of Firefox Driver

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Command To Open URL In Browser

driver.get("http://only-testing-blog.blogspot.in/2013/11/new-test.html");

Clicking on any element or button of webpage

driver.findElement(By.id("submitButton")).click();

Store text of targeted element in variable

String dropdown = driver.findElement(By.tagName("select")).getText();

Typing text in text box or text area

driver.findElement(By.name("fname")).sendKeys("My First Name");

Applying Implicit wait in webdriver

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Applying Explicit wait in webdriver with WebDriver canned conditions

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.textToBePresentInElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@id='timeLeft']"), "Time left: 7 seconds"));

Get page title in selenium webdriver

driver.getTitle();

Get Current Page URL In Selenium WebDriver

driver.getCurrentUrl();

Get domain name using java script executor

JavascriptExecutor javascript = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

String CurrentURLUsingJS=(String)javascript.executeScript("return document.domain");

Generate alert using webdriver's java script executor interface

JavascriptExecutor javascript = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

javascript.executeScript("alert('Test Case Execution Is started Now..');");

Selecting or Deselecting value from drop down in selenium webdriver

Select By Visible Text

Select mydrpdwn = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("Carlist")));

mydrpdwn.selectByVisibleText("Audi");

It will select value from drop down list using visible text value = "Audi".

Select By Value
