Using Selenium and Practical Workshop

Course Description

Three day course on Selenium 3.0. The first two days are instructor led and the third day provides an opportunity for hands-on learning, putting into practice the learning from the course. Selenium allows both developers and testers to automate tests against applications and execute them against multiple browsers. This course aims at providing a solid foundation to the attendee in understanding automated testing using Selenium. The objectives of this course are not only to teach what the tool is capable of doing, but to focus on the practical steps required to make automation using Selenium work. The course provides a hands-on walkthrough to allow attendees to understand the steps in making Selenium function in the real world. The consumer is putting increasing demands on organisations to deliver applications across many devices, browsers and platforms. With Increasing pressure being put on test tool budgets, IT professionals are looking to the open source market for test automation tools.

Prerequisites

Although it is beneficial that attendees have a coding background (ideally in Java), this is not essential.
The code examples used during the course are available in the training environment for attendees to access.

Course Objectives

On completion of the course, attendees will understand how to configure Selenium and how to automate tests using the tool.

Introduction

Automation Overview
Core skills taught on the course

Selenium IDE

Overview of Selenium IDE and available add-ins
Recording and replay of a Selenium IDE Test
Object recognition tools ChroPath.
Assertions and Verifications
Exporting a Selenium IDE Test as Java

Creating Selenium Scripts in IntelliJ IDE

Configuring a new C# project in IntelliJ
Creating a basic automated test and a test suite
Executing a test and test suite through IntelliJ
Importing a test from Selenium IDE

Selenium WebDriver

Components of Selenium Webdriver in JUnit
Annotations in WebDriver
Interacting with the AUT: Object locators
Actions on WebElements

Data Driving Selenium Tests

Use of data sources (e.g. Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, databases) to provide increased maintainability flexibility.

Debugging and coding

Setting breakpoints
Retrieving values on-the-fly
Stepping through code
Observing the Application under Test
Making deductions
Building and testing a hypothesis

Page Object Model

Introducing the Page Object Model

Object Recognition

Object recognition is one of the commonest issues automation testers have to face. A number of techniques and approaches can be used, including:
Why it is difficult to identify an object.
Choice of element locator
Use of multiple locator properties
Use of Xpath or CSS syntax and patterns
Use of ordinal identifiers
Using ChroPath to write more stable locators
Descriptive programming for dynamic objects
How to navigate web iframes
