Selenium or Badboy

This is my first blog and first thing which comes on my mind is test automation. So far I have worked with two test automation tools Badboy and Selenium. Out of these Badboy was the first tool I used and then migrated to Selenium for various reasons like -
  • One can code in multiple languages in Selenium (i.e. Java, C#, Perl, Python etc)
  • Though there is no out of box support for data base testing but it can be achieved using client language like - java, c#
There are many more such reasons which prompted me to use Selenium.
I will describe them in detail when at leisure.
With this I come to end for my first blog.

    Hi Tarun,

    I'm Swami, a QA engineer interested to learn Selenium. I'm currently having 400 or odd test cases for my application (web based). On few places QTP could not work on my application. so thought of trying Selenium. one info is i'm strong in VB (VB scripting, VBA..etc) but i have very less knowledge on the Java, C#or python. So will this selenium be helpful?
    I'd also appreciate if you can share any materials on the tool.

    Thanks,
    Swami

    Hello Swami,

    Knowledge of any language should help you in learning a new language... Apropos of material on Selenium, there is one document under preparation...have a look this might help you...

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

Selenium Tutorial: Ant Build for Selenium Java project

Ant is a build tool which could be used to have your tests running either from command line or from Hudson CI tool. There is detailed documentation available for ant here but probably you need to know only a little part of it for you selenium tests. The essentials which are needed to know are: Project Target (ant execution point and collection of tasks) Tasks (could be as simple as compilation) And there would usually be following targets for Selenium tools - setClassPath - so that ant knows where you jar files are loadTestNG - so that you could use testng task in ant and use it to execute testng tests from ant init - created the build file clean - delete the build file compile - compiles the selenium tests run - executes the selenium tests Here is my project set up for ant -
