2 Day 4 Selenium Grid

 Cut execution time by distributing tests on several machines ( parallel execution )  Run the tests against a vast combination of browsers / OS  Selenium Grid is not tied to a specific application. ◦ Can be shared by multiple applications and projects

 Selenium Grid is designed for efficient web acceptance/functional testing.  Selenium Grid is NOT designed for performance and load testing ◦ performance/load testing with real browser is hard ◦ hard/expensive to scale the load ◦ actual load is very inconsistent

 For load/performance testing use tools like PushToTest, JMeter, Grinder or httperf. ◦ Reuse selenium tests for load testing 200 concurrent users =  200 concurrent browsers using Selenium Grid  At least 10 machines JMeter/Grinder/httperf can generate the same kind of load with a single machine.

 Open cmd  Go to the location of your selenium-server- standalone-*.jar  Execute command: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-*.jar -role hub Check that the hub was started:

 Open cmd  Go to the location of your selenium-server- standalone-*.jar  Execute command: java -jar selenium-server-standalone-*.jar -role node -hub Check that the node was registered:

Use the RemoteWebDriver and the DesiredCapabilities object to define which browser, version and platform you wish to use.  Create the target browser capabilities you want to run the tests against: DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();  Pass that into the RemoteWebDriver object:RemoteWebDriver WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(" capability);

A node matches if all the requested capabilities are met. To request specific capabilities on the grid, specify them before passing it into the WebDriver object. capability.setBrowserName(); capability.setPlatform(); capability.setVersion() capability.setCapability(); The capabilities that are not specified will be ignored.

By default, node starts with 11 browsers: 5 Firefox, 5 Chrome, 1 Internet Explorer To change browser settings, you can pass in parameters to each -browser switch -browser browserName=, version=, firefox_binary= OR chrome_binary=, maxInstances=, platform=
