Importance of Selenium Testing

Many, perhaps most, software applications today are written as web-based applications to be run in an Internet browser. The effectiveness of testing these applications varies widely among companies and organizations. In an era of highly interactive and responsive software processes where many organizations are using some form of Agile methodology, test automation is frequently becoming a requirement for software projects. Test automation is often the answer. Test automation means using a software tool to run repeatable tests against the application to be tested. For regression testing this provides that responsiveness.

There are many advantages to test automation. Most are related to the repeatability of the tests and the speed at which the tests can be executed. There are a number of commercial and open source tools available for assisting with the development of test automation. Selenium is possibly the most widely-used open source solution. Here Mindfire Solutions the offshore software development company experienced Selenium Testers implementing effective techniques in building test automation for web applications.

Selenium is a set of different software tools each with a different approach to supporting test automation. Most Selenium QA Engineers focus on the one or two tools that most meet the needs of their project, however learning all the tools will give you many different options for approaching different test automation problems. The entire suite of tools results in a rich set of testing functions specifically geared to the needs of testing of web applications of all types. These operations are highly flexible, allowing many options for locating UI elements and comparing expected test results against actual application behavior. One of Selenium’s key features is the support for executing one’s tests on multiple browser platforms.

Selenium, a javascript based, Opensource web testing tool, supports Web 2.0 applications on Multiple browsers and multiple applications.Javascript framework that runs in your webbrowser, 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.

You can use Selenium-Core and customize everything, 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 play back those recordings followed by asserts.

Mindfire Solutions believes in Automation and has many certified Testers running various projects on Selenium testing service . Selenium is highly flexible. There are many ways you can add functionality to both Selenium test scripts and Selenium’s framework to customize your test automation. This is perhaps Selenium’s greatest strength when compared with other automation tools. These customizations are described in various places throughout this document. In addition, since Selenium is Open Source, the sourcecode can always be downloaded and modified.
