How to write a test case in Selenium IDE?

Answer 1

Hey Sam, to write a test case in Selenium IDE, the entire test script creation process can be classified into three steps:

1. Recording:
   • Launch Firefox browser.
   • Click on the Selenium icon present on the top right corner on your browser.
   • It will launch the default interface of Selenium IDE. Create a new project as DemoProject.
     
     
      
   • Click on the Start Recording Button present on the top right corner on the IDE to start recording the test case.
     
     
      
   • Go to your Firefox browser and open URL: www.google.com . It will redirect you to the Google search engine page.
   • Type Edureka in the Google search box. Hit enter to get search results.
   • Click on first Edureka link to go Edureka's home page.
     
     
      
   • Now, go the IDE and click on the Stop Recording button to stop recording your actions further.
   • The Test Editor box now contains the list of all of your interactions with the browser.
     
     
2. Playing back (executing the recorded script):
   • Click on the Run Current Test button present on the tool bar menu of the IDE. It will execute all of your interactions with the browser and gives you an overall summary of the executed test script.
     
     
      
   • The Log pane displays the overall summary of the executed test scripts.
      
3. Saving the test suite: 
   • Click on the Save button present on the extreme right corner of the menu bar.
   • Save the entire test suite as Demo Test.
     
     
      
   • The test suite can be found at the location provided in the above steps. Notice that the test script is saved in .side format.
