2. Abstract
Selenium is an open source automation tool that supports almost all browsers, languages and Operating Systems. But there are certain limitations that stops us to achieve Continuous Integration using Selenium.
Handling desktop applications
Locating elements when values are dynamic
Publishing reports

3. Other Open source Tools
What is the solution?
AutoIT – Handling desktop application
SikuliX – Locating Random elements
ExtentReports – Report generation
Jenkins – Continuous Integration
Jenkins Se
Other Open source Tools

4. Solution Architecture
Start the Hub and Node bat files in the Hub and Node Machines respectively.
The execution will begin in the Chosen Node with a chosen browser.
Results will be stored in Hub machine(Reports and screens)
Failed Screen will be stored in separate folder

12. Why Jenkins?
Components
Jenkins
Open Source
Yes
Selenium Plugins
Online Support
Mail trigger
Scheduled Build
HTML Report Generation

13. Scheduled Execution - CI
Builds can be scheduled using Cron pattern
Status mail sent for each build for specified stakeholders
Useful for weekend execution

14. Cron Expression

15. Test Results from Jenkins

16. Advantages of CI Benefits Nightly execution Test data preparation
1.Identifying issues at earliest
2.Increase in Quality of application
3.Nightly and weekend execution,
Test data preparation
4. Swift execution
AutoIt
