About Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is an easy-to-use and integrated development environment used by web app developers to record, edit, and debug tests. Originally implemented as a Firefox add-on, it is a recording tool which permits developers to automatically capture their interactions with the browser or website so they can generate, develop, and maintain test cases.As an ideal environment for developing Selenium tests, Selenium IDE comes with a rich set of commands that are used to test the existence of UI elements, specific content, selection list options, submission of forms, and the features of a web application.With Selenium IDE, users will be able to set breakpoints and startpoints as they find and fix errors in their test cases. Last but not least, the tool can support saving of tests as HTML, Ruby scripts, and other formats.

Benefits

Automatic Recording Of Test Cases

Selenium IDE has the capability to automatically record test cases based on interactions with a website. This automatic recording feature, however, can be disabled. As the tool records a test case, commands are automatically inserted into the test case depending on the actions performed by the test developer; such as clicking a link, entering values, selecting options from drop-down list boxes, and clicking radio buttons.

Add Verifications And Asserts

Building test cases through Selenium IDE includes the ability to add assert and verify commands to test cases. These are commands used to check the properties of web pages. When users right-click a specific UI element like a text block which is currently displayed on the web page, the context menu shows a list of assert and verify commands, along with pre-defined parameters based on the context of the selected UI element. This list of commands will expand as test developers continue to use Selenium IDE. Thus, the IDE can predict the possible commands and parameters they can apply for selected UI elements on web pages.

Flexible Execution Of Test Cases

In terms of running test cases, Selenium IDE provides test developers with different options. They will be able to run all the test cases contained within the currently loaded test suite (a collection of test cases) or pause and resume a test case. They can also allow Selenium IDE to start running a test case from a specific command in the middle of the test case or stop it from running on a particular command. In addition, the IDE permits them to run a single command, which is very useful if they are not sure if the command they created is correct.

Debug Test Cases And Set Breakpoints

Selenium IDE lets test developers set breakpoints when it comes to debugging their test cases. As previously mentioned, the IDE enables a test case to be started or stopped on a particular command. Thus, developers can keep a test case running until a specific command in the middle of the test case, and they can check the errors that occurred up to the point. To do this, they need to set a breakpoint by selecting a command, right-clicking it, and selecting the Toggle Breakpoint.
