Verify that a correct user name is displayed
Logout
Expected Result

“Welcome demo”
We created our first automated test script
Manual Test-Case
Automated Test-Case

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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

12. 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.
