2. 2 Day 2 Overview of Selenese Commonly Used Commands

3.  Action: Performs an operation on the GUI, or retrieves values from the GUI  click, type, check, keyDown, etc.  Verification: performs validation of an expected result, and returns true/false  verifyTextPresent, verifyTitle, verifyElementPresent, etc.  Assertion: performs validation of a required precondition, and terminates the test if false is returned.  assertTitle, assertValue, assertVisible, etc. 3

4. There are three types of action commands:  Simple actions: perform an operation  “Wait” actions: perform an operation and pause the test execution until a condition is met or an event occurs  clickAndWait, clickAtAndWait, waitForElementPresent, waitForVisable  “Store” actions: retrieve and store output in variables  storeText, storeValue, storeEval 4

5. Efficient way to manage failures  If you’re not on the correct page, you’ll probably want to abort your test case so that you can investigate the cause and fix the issue(s) promptly. Best use of this feature is to logically group test commands  Start each group with an “assert” followed by one or more “verify” test commands 5

6. During recording…  Right-click an element to open the context menu  Scroll to the bottom of the context menu and select the “Show All Available Commands” menu item. 6 Items will vary depending on the element clicked

7. When Debugging…  Click the row to edit  In the command field, begin typing text. 7 ALL existing commands (beginning from entered text) are displayed in alphabetical order.

8. 8 All commands can be split in to 12 command groups:  Selenium Control  Browser Operations  Cookie Operations  Popup Box Operations  Checkbox & Radio Buttons  Lists & Dropdowns  Edit Fields  Keyboard Operations  Mouse Operations  Form Operations  Windows/Element Selection  Selenium Accessors
