As an automation tester, we spend a lot of time playing around the code, debugging it and reusing it. It’s important to have a good IDE (integrated development environment) where you can save a lot of time while writing code for your automation script.

Selenium Software Testing Tutorial Pdf

This introductory course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of testing web applications using Selenium. Testers can build, enhance, and maintain scripts using both the Katalon Recorder and the Selenium WebDriver. Hands-on instruction is provided for those who want to explore the power of using Selenium. Selenium is one of the vastly used browser automation tools, and testing teams extensively use this tool in DevOps pipelines. It is an open-source tool and brings cost benefits to the testing teams and functional testers, who own the UI testing. The use of Selenium is one of the effective ways to implement Web UI testing in DevOps. Selenium with IntelliJ. Ask Question Asked 4 years, 7 months ago. Active 4 years, 7 months ago. Viewed 432 times 2. I was confused with IntelliJ, but after watching.

Although the criteria for selecting the IDE is common for every language. It also depends on the personal preferences, and the kind of requirement one have in their project. In this blog post , I will talk about how to choose your JAVA IDE for Selenium WebDriver test. An IDE should have following capabilities

There, click on the green plus (+) icon, and choose Library. Then navigate to the extracted Selenium folder, and add ' selenium-java 2.4.0.jar '. After adding this, click on the green plus (+) icon again, and now choose 'Directory'. This time, locate the libs folder of Selenium, and click on ok, while selecting it.

Little configuration
Flexible
In-built plugin and build deployment support
Smart enough in code completion (most important)
Powerful, smart debugging

I have recently started working on a new selenium java project.For me it was not that hard to choose as I had most of experience using Eclipse from my previous projects and no experience using Netbeans and IntelliJ at all. This time I have thought of doing experiment by using some other IDE

I was a big fan of Eclipse until I figure out the capabilities of IntelliJ IDEA. I have used IntelliJ IDEA community edition and following are some awesome features I have identified which I didn’t notice in Eclipse-

It provides auto-suggestions while reusing variables, keywords and out of box method highlighting
If you have used some code for which reference is not added, it will suggest you to find maven info and add that in to pom.xml
There is no need to create work space, you can start using/building any project from anywhere
It has in-built support for identifying the possible plugin which can easy user’s work and will suggest you to install that (e.g. if you are using feature file in code , it will suggest to use cucumber plugin automatically)
It has inbuilt ANT, Maven and Gradle support, while creating a java project in IntelliJ it automatically create Gradle, Build.xml and Pom.xml files
It provides inbuilt Git, SVN, TFS support without installing any additional plugin

In a nutshell, conclusion is –

Eclispe – Very flexible, not very smart in code completion
IntelliJ IDEA – flexible, powerful, best code completion, smart,user-friendly
NetBeans – user-friendly, good for JAVA Enterprise beans projects

Current Market trend

According to a recent report by SoftSys the most used IDE by Java developers is Eclipse, which is open source and free to use. The next one is IntelliJ followed by Netbeans. Thus, more often than not cost can be one of the factors, specially if there is not much difference in features between different IDEs. From the perspective of a beginner almost all the IDEs seem identical in terms of their feature set, however, I am sure there are many differences in the details of how those features are exposed and how convenient it is to use them. So, is it just a matter of preference that some people like Eclipse and others like IntelliJ-

According to a recent survey, when people directly asked about choosing the IDE, here is what there response was –

So it’s very clear that as Agile is the new SDLC where all part of software development are aggressively done, so its better to have a powerful and smart IDE for development and save our time. 🙂

How did you choose your current IDE? What are the features that matter when deciding on an IDE? How much would you be willing to pay for it? Do let me know of your thoughts in the comments discussion.

Happy coding 🙂

Setting up PHPUnit and Selenium with IntelliJ IDEA/PhpStorm

Introduction ¶

This article intends to summarize the steps taken to set up PHPUnit and Selenium for a Yii project, with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate (the IDE). It was done on Mac OS X 10.6.

The article will most likely also be applicable for PhpStorm, since these two products share the same foundation (IDEA uses the same code for PHP support as PhpStorm has in its core). It should at most be a matter of slightly different menu items and stuff.

Prerequisites ¶

We assume that you have the following:

PEAR installed, which is used to install PHPUnit
Java installed, which is used to run the .jar file for Selenium
Created a Yii application (normally using the command yiic webapp ...). Note: In the examples below this app is in the folder /Users/rawtaz/Sites/yii/test in the filesystem, and the URL to it is http://localhost/~rawtaz/yii/test/
Have created a project for that Yii application in your IDE, be it IntelliJ IDEA or PhpStorm

Install PHPUnit ¶

This part will first upgrade PEAR so that it has the latest resources, then configure it so that the PEAR channels are discovered automatically, and finally install PHPUnit and its Selenium support.

Run the following commands in your Terminal (use Spotlight to find the Terminal application in case you haven't used it before):

Install Selenium ¶

Next we need to install the actual Selenium Server. Download the 'Selenium Server' .jar file, e.g. selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar, from the Selenium download page. Save the file wherever it makes sense to you; It is an application file that you will run directly.

Once the file is downloaded, start the Selenium Server by running the following commands in your terminal:

Note: For the sake of example, we assume that the file's name is selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar and that it was saved in the folder ~/jar – change these details as appropriate.

Selenium should now start and run in this Terminal window. The output should look like the following:

Configure IDEA/PhpStorm ¶

Note: These instructions might differ slightly if you are using PhpStorm, but in general it's the same.

Assuming that your project in IDEA/PhpStorm only knows about the Yii application's files, we need to add the Yii Framework files and PHPUnit's files to the so called 'include path'. The purpose of this is to make IDEA/PhpStorm aware of methods and properties on the various classes from Yii and PHPUnit, so that it can provide code completion and inspection for you.

Open [Preferences] -> Project Settings -> PHP -> Include path and click the + button to add the following two items to the Include path list:

The path to the Yii framework folder, for example ~/Sites/yii/yii/framework (this can of course be skipped if you already did this or you have added the Yii framework files as a Content Root in a module)
The path to the PHPUnit folder, for example /usr/pkg/lib/php/PHPUnit

*Note: Both of the filesystem paths above might very well be different on your system - you'll have to figure out where PHPUnit was installed and where you have the Yii Framework files (the folder named framework).

Configure WebTestCase ¶

We need to make an initial configuration of the class that is used for functional testing, so that it knows which URL to open using Selenium.

Open the file protected/tests/WebTestCase.php in your Yii projec and edit the TEST_BASE_URL constant so that it points to the URL of the index-test.php file in your Yii project

In this example my URL is http://localhost/~rawtaz/yii/test/index-test.php/, so I changed the constant like this:

Work around a PHP Warning issue with PHPUnit and Selenium ¶

A summary of this problem is in the Yii Forum thread at http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/30511-firefoxphp-faild-to-include-in-yiibase/. There will most likely be a fix for this on the future, but for now we work around the problem like suggested in the aforementioned forum thread.

Open the same file as in the previous step, the protected/tests/WebTestCase.php in your Yii project
Add $this->setBrowser('*firefox'); as the last thing in the setUp() method
Open the file protected/tests/phpunit.xml in your Yii project
Comment out all the <browser .../> tags you can find inside the <selenium>...</selenium> tags

Selenium will now use Firefox for the testing.

Run the the tests ¶

Finally, we try to run the default test for your Yii application (we assume it is still the default one generated by yiic webapp ...), to see that they work:

Run the following commands in a new Terminal window:

Note: In the example above, the path to the project is ~/Sites/yii/test, but yours might be different – adjust accordingly.
