selenium extention
From my first blog, oslutions.com (2005 to 2008), recovered from the Internet Archive and republished as it was. Links are from that time and many no longer work. Original: http://oslutions.com/blog/2005/06/19/selenium-extention/.
i’ve been playing with selenium those last days. a really nice open source functional testing framework(demo)! what i like about it, is that the tests are very simple to write. actually, it’s only plain html tables. besides, you can follow and see the tests, as the browser-bot executes them.
i need our business people to be able to write tests (i’ve given up the hope to see programmers write tests. maybe business people will…). and since i don’t expect them to know the the element-id they are testing, i wrote some extension to selenium.
now you can use “field=caption” to locate a field on a page, and enter the text that describes the field. also, “button=Login” lets you click on a button labeled “Login”.
| | | | | --- | --- | --- | | createNewUser | | | | open | http://someForm.html | | | type | field=Name | myName | | type | field=Password | 123456 | | clickAndWait | button=Login | |
download the extention here. i only tested it with firefox. any feedback welcome.
