We created our first automated test script What did we accomplish? Test-Case Objective Ensure Valid User Login Steps In the login textbox type demo. In the password textbox type demo. Click Submit button Verify that a correct user name is displayed Logout Expected Result OrangeHRM index page is loaded Correct username is displayed as part of the greeting. “Welcome demo” We created our first automated test script Manual Test-Case Automated Test-Case

Running Selenium Automated Test Make sure the Firefox browser is still open Go to Selenium IDE and click “Play current test case” button Make the test case playback in slow mode Click to play the Test Case

Interpreting Colors If you see all the command line rows turn Green color, then the test has passed. Light Green means the code executed without problems. Dark Green means the test result of the command evaluated to true. If any part of the test failed it will be shown with Red color.

Debugging Examine the result of the script. What went WRONG??? Time is needed to validate the login information… The test must WAIT for the next web page to load before proceeding.

Select clickAndWait command Editing Click the 3rd to last row Modify the command field Replace “click” with “clickAndWait” command Re-play the test… Click this row Select clickAndWait command

Helpful Notes: At least one Firefox browser window must be open Play back every automated test to ensure expected behavior. Keep playback in slow mode when you begin debugging. Then playback in fast mode to finish debugging. Placing Browser window and Selenium IDE windows side by side is a convenient way of tracking test execution step by step.
