Execute java script from selenium

getEval method can be used to evaluate java script from selenium.
Remember to use window object in case of dom expressions as by default selenium
window is referred and not the test window. Hence a sample code will look as
following -

selenium.getEval("window.document.images.length;");

This will return total number of images in a web page. Same result can be
retrieved using only "document.images.length;" string IF selenium is run in
proxy injection mode. (As selenium runner will not appear in the test window).
BUT To be on safer side irrespective of mode selenium is run always use
'window' object of java script.

If evaluated expression is to return multiple values then use it as following -


This will return all the image links available on a page. This can be collected
in a string and individual links can be found by using split method.

Now to execute java script using Selenium IDE. lets type a random number on a text box -


    type
    objectLocator
    javascript{Math.random()}



or in java -

selenium.type("objectLocator", selenium.getEval("Math.random()"));

Distributed Load Testing with JMeter

Distributed Testing with JMeter When one JMeter client is not able to offer amount of threads required for load testing then distributed testing is used. In distributed testing - One instance of JMeter client can control number of JMeter instances and collect data from them Test plan does not need to be copied to each server, the client sends it to all servers note - JMeter will run all the threads on all the servers, hence 100 threads on 5 JMeter server would pump 500 threads in total. If many server instances are used, the client JMeter can become overloaded and so the client network connection. This has been improved in latest versions of JMeter by switching to Stripped modes, but you should always check that your client is not overloaded When Client (master) and Server (slave) nodes are on same network (no SSH required) Configure Client Node Herein client is referred as the machine controlling test execution on other JMeter nodes. This is also referred

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can
