Selenium WebDriver is the most used tool for browser automation. This book shows developers and testers how to create automated tests using a browser. You will learn how to be able to use Selenium IDE for quick throwaway tests. Or if you want to create tests to last, learn to use Selenium WebDriver.
You will learn to use Selenium WebDriver with both desktop browsers and mobile browsers, and learn good design patterns to make sure your tests will be extremely maintainable.
, Getting Started with Selenium IDE , explains how to install Selenium IDE and record our first tests. We will see what is needed to work against AJAX applications.
, Locators , shows how we can find elements on the page to be used in our tests. We will use XPath, CSS, Link Text, and ID to find elements on the page so that we can interact with them.
, Overview of Selenium WebDriver , discusses all the history and architectural designs for Selenium WebDriver. You will also go through the necessary items for setting up a development environment.
, Design Patterns , introduces the different design patterns that can be used with Selenium WebDriver. The design patterns will show you how to make your tests more maintainable and allow more people to work on your code.
, Locators .
, Working with WebDriver , introduces all the different aspects of getting different browsers that Selenium WebDriver supports on desktop operating systems.
, Mobil e Devices , explains how Selenium WebDriver works on mobile devices to test mobile websites or sites built with responsive web design.
, Getting Started with Selenium Grid , shows us how we can set up our Selenium Grid. We will also take a look at running tests in parallel to try bringing down the time it takes to run tests.
, Advanced User Interactions , explains how to build chains of actions together to help when you need to drag-and-drop or have key combinations working. We will also look at how we can press a mouse button and hold it down while we move the mouse.
, Working with HTML5 , explains working with some of the HTML5 technologies that are becoming available to browsers. The Selenium WebDriver APIs are very similar to the JavaScript APIs in the browser to try make use of them easier.
, Advanced Topics , explains how to capture network traffic between the browser and the web server. We finish off by capturing screenshots.
, Migrating from Remote Control to WebDriver , introduces how the interaction with the browser has changed and how we can convert our Selenium 1 tests to Selenium 2 to take advantage of the changes in Selenium WebDriver.
