1. Selenium Automation Testing Suite of Tools

2. What is Selenium?
• Selenium is a robust set of tools that supports rapid development of test automation for web-based applications.
• Works anywhere JavaScript is supported
• Hooks for many other languages - Java, Ruby, Python
• Can simulate a user navigating through pages and then assert for specific marks on the pages
• All you need to really know is HTML to start
using it right away

3. Selenium You can use open source - Selenium tool
Selenium IDE is a plug-in to Firefox to record and playback tests (like WinRunner, QTP).
You can then export the recorded test in most language e.g. HTML, Java , .NET , Perl , Ruby etc.
The exported test can be run in any browser and any platform using "selenium remote control".

4. Where to get it? • You can use Selenium-Core and customize
everything – deprecated.
• But it is easier to just get a Firefox plug-in
“Selenium-IDE” that helps you “record” test
Cases.
• You can record how an app is being used and then playback those recordings followed by asserts.
• Get everything at:

5. Selenium-IDE
Integrated Development Environment for building Selenium test cases.
Operates as a Firefox add-on and provides an interface for developing and running individual test cases or entire test suites.
Selenium-IDE has a recording feature, which will keep account of user actions as they are performed and store them as a reusable script to play back.
It also has a context menu (right-click) integrated with the Firefox browser, which allows the user to pick from a list of assertions and verifications for the selected location.
Offers full editing of test cases.
Although it is a Firefox only add-on, tests created in it can also be run against other browsers by using Selenium-RC & specifying the name of the test suite on the command line.
