Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi All,

I am planning to use Selenium (open source tool) to automate test cases
for web application (e-commerce) . Now, I am struggling which one will be
better to use among selenium ide, selenium core, and selenium RC. My
objective is to automate test cases so that I can do regression testing
after each build? Can any one advise me which one will be better (out of
these three) to use for this purpose?

Thanks,
kirshana

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi friends,
Since selenium is Open-Source, its getting pretty popular these days. It
would be great if someone already working on Selenium can throw some light
on:
[moderator's note: My comments below are in-line. They all, relate
back to one issue: you didn't bother to look for your answers
before posting the questions to the group. For Selenium, look here:
http://selenium. openqa.org/ ]
a) Pre-requisites for learning Selenium.
[none. Knowing JavaScript would help.]

b) Selenium components(IDE/ Core/RC) and their usage and the order in which
to learn them.
[IDE allows you to record and playback tests. It's the test editor.
Core "is a simpler form of Selenium, and suitable for non-developers,
but it has some inherent limitations" . It's one way to use Selenium.
RC is remote control. A host tells others what to do. You don't learn
it, you use it.]

c) Some useful resource like tutorials and downloads on the net for
beginners
[http://selenium. openqa.org/
http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Selenium_ %28software% 29 ]

d) Your own experiences/ suggestions on learning Selenium.
It would help a lot of people to get started on this useful tool.
Thanks in advance,
sachin

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi,

Selenium IDE is used to record the test like normal recording operation in QTP, Winrunner etc.

And it is working only on FireFox. It is not supporiting to IE.

[moderator's note: This statement is a bit ambiguous. Selenium IDE
only works in Firefox. Selenium itself works with many browsers as
indicated below.]


Selenium Core and Selenium RC are used to execute the recorded script. But you can execute the recorded script on IE also.

So before start automation you should ensure that whether your application is working on firefox or not. If not its not possible to record your test.

[moderator's note: However, you can program them.]


Thanks,

hissan

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi ,

Selenium IDE is a plugin or call it an extension to Firefox, just like Firebug, Chatzilla
but with a different functionality and purpose altogether. The recording mode plugin is not available for IE.

Basically Selenium IDE records its tests in HTML and then uses those tests to execute through browser.

But when you need them to execute the tests altogether as a test suite then follow the link change the test according the requirements and also modify different execution mechanism as required.

http://wiki. openqa.org/ display/SIDE/ Automating+ Selenium+ IDE+tests

>>So before start automation you should ensure that whether your application is working on Firefoxor not. If not its not possible to record >>your test.
>>

Thats true, if you application does not work on Firefox or if it is not intended to work on Firefox according to the requirements then its better to use Selenium Core.

With regards,

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi,

I downloaded Selenium IDE and Selenium RC. I am able to use selenium IDE and also to invoke browser using Selenium RC (Command Line). Next, I am trying to test TestSuite using Selenium RC but I am not able to figure it out how to do it. Can you please advise on this?

Thanks,

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC

Hi All,

I was thinking to use Selenium Core and Selenium IDE to run my test cases in batch. Selenium IDE to create test cases and Selenium Core to run Test Cases. But due to write access problem I will not be able to use Selenium Core. Is there any way I can run automated Test Cases using Selenium IDE for both test creation and test execution in batch? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

adamadimos

Selenium IDE is a plug-in or Firefox extension called Firebug to the same, but different function and purpose than ChatZilla completely. Recording mode plug-in is not in IE. Selenium reinforced concrete and selenium core can be used to record the script execution.
