Getting Started with Selenium Automation Testing

What is Selenium?

Selenium is a functional testing tool and harmonious with all the non-functional testing tools also. Selenium is free and does not require any licensing. Functional evaluations script implemented by selenium. Selenium is coupled with many automation testing tools like Maven, Jenkins, to achieve constant testing. Selenium can be linked with tools such as TestNG, & JUnit for managing test cases & producing reports.

Before going farther with Selenium Tutorial, let's understand some of the key concepts related to Automation testing of an application.Each software development team need to perform several tests before launch the final product to the market. Manual Test engineers seek to catch the bugs or fault before the product released in the market, yet delivered software always has flaws. And there is a chance that the final software product is left having a defect or unable to fulfill the client requirement, even the manual evaluation engineer do their very best.

Automation testing is the best way to raise the effectiveness, efficiency, and coverage of Software testing. Selenium Automation testing uses particular tools to automate manual layout test cases with no human interference. These testing tools can get the evaluation data, controls the execution of tests, and compares the actual result from the expected outcome.

It's both functional and non-functional evaluations on an program.

Functional Automation Testing To automate the functional test cases, test engineer use operational automation testing.

Non-functional Automation Testing E.g.-: Assessing the answer time of this application under considerable (say 100 users) load. Automation Testing ProcessIt is the procedure for converting any manual test cases into a test script with automation tools, and scripting or programming language is called automation testing process.

Generally, we proceed for automation testing whenever there are multiple releases or multiple regression cycle or repetitive job. The practice of analyzing the application by using some tools is known as automation testing. When the brand new release (Release #1) starts we do not go for automation testing procedure, because there's absolutely no concept of regression testing and regression test cases( test cases are new itself)once the brand new release and some enhancement are going on, we have the guide group as well automation team.

The guide teams go through the requirement and also identify the impact area and hands over the regression test package to the automation team. After given over the manual team, begin working on the brand new feature along with the automation team begins working on the new attribute, begins creating the test script and automating the test instances.

Prior to going to the further process, the automation staff begins automating the test cases and analyze the instances that can be automatic and that cannot be automated. Dependent on the inspection, they start the automation testing process, i.e., convert each regression situation into scripts.

In this process, they need regression case because they do not have product knowledge as well the instrument and the application. When the test script is prepared, they begin the execution of this script on the new application, but the older feature.

Since the script is written for regression feature or the old featurewhen the implementation complete, we get different standing like pass/fail. When the standing failed, that needs to be re-confirmed manually, and should the bugs exist, report to the developer, they will fix.

After the bug fixes done, the bug needs to be re-tested along with the impact area by the manual test engineer. Along with the test script has to be implemented from the automation test scientist. This process goes on until all the new features, and regression features status gets passed.
