Selenium Tutorial: Selenium Grid 1.0 configuration

I must say I did not have an easy time trying to set up Selenium Grid 1.0 locally. Since I did not have access to multiple machines I was trying to setup hub as well as slave remote control and was following the doc available here. Though documentation is detailed it is tough to have it replicated with your set up. of late I posted about ant build file here and we need to add couple of target to it to be able to work with Selenium grid. I have taken these extra target from the Selenium Grid distribution, these are -












Target - "launch-hub" is used to launch grid hub while target "launch-remote-control" is used to launch remote controls along with set of parameters like - host, hubURL etc, which would be serving to hub.

Also notice that from previous post on ant build I have "pathelement" defined in "setclasspath" target.
This is to make sure that while starting the hub "grid_configuration.yml" is picked up from your project root folder and not the one available in selenium-grid jar files -






And now to start the Selenium RC server - the hub. Go to your project root folder on console and execute task - "ant launch-hub" and hub is launched with the configuration you specify in "grid_configuration.yml" file -

and Now is the turn of launching RC servers with configurations defined in "grid_configuration.yml" file. We would launch two RC servers one - "Firefox on Window" and "IE on Windows" on ports 5555 and 6666 respectively -

  and another RC server -



And now you have to specify configuration of browser environment in you testng.xml file along with the hub port - 4444


And now to run your selenium tests you need to execute target "run" from another console. You would see two browsers launched locally running your tests one on IE and other on Firefox

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
