Advantages of Selenium Core

• Run No. Of test scripts at a time or we can run individual Test scripts.
• It shows the result of every command and test in terms of Passed or Failed.
• Easy to debug the failed test Scripts
• It allows to run tests in different browsers Ex: Fire Fox, I.E..

Creating Core Tests

• Use Selenium IDE to create all your tests.
• Modify the scripts where ever required as you cannot always depend on scripts generated by IDE.
• Separate data from test and keep them in separate file.
• Add code to read data and environment parameters.
• Save test as .html file.

Creating Test Suite
Add all the created tests to your test suite.

<tr>
     <td><a href=“CreateEntity.html">Create Entity</a>
     </td>
</tr>

<tr>
     <td><a href="testWorkflow.html">Verifying Default Workflow </a>
     </td>
</tr>

Selenium Core Execution Modes

1. Step
2. Pause/Continue
3. Run the Selected Test
4. Run All Tests

 

Overview Of Execution Modes

• Run All Tests: Run every test in the test suite.
• Run Selected Test: Click on one test in the test suite, then click here to run just that one test.
• Pause/Continue: While a test is running, press the Pause button to temporarily stop running commands. After you press Pause, you can press Continue to resume the test.
• Step: Click on a test in the test suite, then click on just one line of the test to set a "breakpoint." When the Test Runner reaches a breakpoint, it will automatically pause execution on that line. You may then press the Step button to run the next line of the test and pause again. You can also click on a breakpoint line to remove the breakpoint.
