Supported Browsers * Tests developed on Firefox via Selenium-IDE can be executed on any other supported browser via a simple Selenium-RC command line.

Selenium Core Selenium Core was developed for an internal application at ThoughtWorks The Core is written in JavaScript, so it runs directly in the browser Tests run directly on the application web server Selenese is a command language written into HTML tables Problems: –cannot switch between http and https protocols. –cannot go from one domain to another CommandTargetValue

Selenium IDE Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) The IDE is a record and playback tool with built-in debugger and editor The IDE is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox only The IDE automatically creates test scripts in the Selenese HTML table format The IDE can generate code into a wide variety of languages and test frameworks –HTML Selenese, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby –Bromine, JUnit, NUnit, RSpec, Test::Unit, TestNG, unittest

Selenium RC Selenium RC (Remote Control) The RC is a server that launches and kills browsers, and acts as an HTTP proxy for web requests from them The RC contains client libraries for several popular languages –C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby The RC can be used by any testing framework that supports the languages in the client libraries The RC is written in Java for portability and is executed from the command line

Selenium RC

Selenium Grid The Grid distributes your tests on multiple machines so that you can run your tests in parallel –Tests can be ran in parallel for reduced execution time –Test can be ran on various browser and operating system combinations –Generates a collated report from all test machines The Grid can be run on a server farm or in the Cloud –The tests are distributed by the Hub server to multiple Selenium RC machines –The tests can be ran by various Cloud computing services such as Amazon EC2, Sauce Labs, BrowserMob, and PushToTest –The Grid is written in Java for portability and is executed from the command line
