Shulou(Shulou.com)06/03 Report--

Accidentally engaged in testing for nearly 4 years, looking back on the road is really quite "comedy". In the summer of 2010, I, majoring in software engineering, chose software testing training in the surprised eyes of many students. I gave up the "high-end" software development at that time, and went black from then on, insisting silently in questioning and mocking, thanking those who once guided me, encouraged me, and ridiculed me. Even once hurt me, you let me become strong, let me quickly become an "old Youtiao". Thanks to Lao Yang, who trained me at that time, thank you for teaching me all the great tricks to climb the tree, but I'm sorry, there are few "gray" performance tests after work, but if I want to use them, I won't embarrass you. I would like to thank Benny,Dean,Bryan,Neal, the dignitaries in my career. I have learned a lot from your advice, promotion and guidance. I have been with the great gods for a long time, even fumigation can give you some way. There is not such a saying, "with good living, such as entering the room of Zhilan, do not hear its fragrance for a long time"!

After that, let's get back to the point. Officially using Selenium started two years ago. Due to changes in automated testing requirements, we had to give up my loyal QTP to use Selenium, an open source cross-browser automated testing tool. At that time, we were very reluctant to think that QTP was king. I'm glad I didn't refuse to do it all the time, otherwise I wouldn't have learned new technology, and I wouldn't know that Selenium can do a great job in automated testing. It also made me understand that a tool is just a tool, and it only makes sense when you use it. If you can't use it or don't use it at all, it can only be a gavel to you. I am not an automated testing Daniel, just a rookie, I often laugh at myself as "unreliable first", often said is "serious, in fact, I do not know, you guess!" Damn, bullshit again!

I will not introduce the history of selenium here. Listening to my nonsense is not as accurate as Google. Let's go to popular science and introduce several major products of Selenium directly.

1. The legendary recording artifact Selenium IDE (currently a plug-in under Firefox) can record the actions of most users on website, and unexpectedly can export code in various formats. You can choose the programming language style you are good at, and then it will gorgeously help you automatically convert your behavior into code. But it is still not recommended to use the artifact, it is a good tool, you can learn a lot from it, but the "road ahead" is really a little narrow, you want to ask me why? Guess what!

2. Selenium Remote Control, or RC, can literally guess what it can do. It not only allows you to operate local browsers, but also gives you the opportunity to manipulate browsers on other machines.

3. Selenium WebDriver commonly known as selenium 2.0 WebDriver can also be done by RC. What we want to share is the automated testing framework based on WebDriver.

4. Selenium Grid this is NB, it can make different browsers on different platforms execute together (at the same time), you don't need to be busy like a headless fly to vomit blood, it can make you feel that everything is organized and can be controlled, you can go deep into the depths to play its role!

This is the end of the preliminary study, it is finally difficult to take a small step to open ^ _ ^, please tap!

Next, we will share how to use webdriver for automated testing based on Java, and how to build a WebDriver automated testing framework.
