Selenium IDE( Integrated development environment ) yes Selenium Suite Open source under Web Automated test tool .

Be careful ：Selenium IDE Just for Mozilla Firefox and Chrome Plug in provides , It can't be in Firefox and Chrome Record test cases on browsers other than . Recorded test scripts can also be exported to C#,Java,Ruby or Python Programming language .

Use selenium IDE

Click on selenium IDE Button , Enter the following page ：

 

Here we take creating a new project as an example , Click on ​create a new project​, After entering the project name , You can create a test project . As shown below ：

Here are seleniumIDE A brief introduction to the panel of ：

Selenium IDE Divided into different components , Each component has its own features and functions . Here to Selenium IDE Seven different components of are classified , These include :

menu bar
The toolbar
Address bar
Test case pane
Test script editor box
Start / Stop recording button
journal , Reference pane

 

The first step in the beginning of the project is to specify the goal url, Designated target url The next test is in this url On the （ You can see url Appears above the first command line in the above figure ）：

 

While recording ,seleniumIDE A new window will open （ Pictured , The first window has a recording flag at the bottom right ）：

 

  Be careful , The recording process is not the whole test process , The most important thing about testing is not just the execution of the steps , And the verification of the results . The verification of the results requires assertions , This can only be done by adding a command line .

selenium IDE There is a set of execute buttons on the panel of the to execute the written code , Click to execute （ You can also adjust the speed of execution ）.

export

Come here ,seleniumIDE Only a script recording tool , But this is not what it was meant to be , Remember , Our ultimate goal is to get python（ perhaps java） Object code of , At this point, you need to export ：

 

Test case options on the left , There is a button with three dots , Click to display such a drop-down menu , One of the buttons is ​Export​, Click this button to export the corresponding code .

 

Click on ​Export​ The options for language selection will appear , At this time, we can according to our requirements , Choose the corresponding language （ about selenium Come on , The best language should be python, The second is java, majority selenium These two languages will be selected for teaching in the course ）.

  notes ： about java for , Use Junit it , But for the python for , The exported code uses pytest, This is something to be aware of （python There are many test frameworks , Corresponding Junit The framework of such unit testing python The unit testing framework is unittest）,pytest Not a built-in test framework , Before using, you need to install the corresponding third-party library .

The exported code is as follows ：

 

You can see ,selenium IDE It does export an executable python Code （ I selected... When exporting python Code ）. But the quality of the code it exports is not good （ Have you seen the above article , A large useless package is introduced ）, Such code needs to be optimized , This is what we still need to learn selenium The reason for the code .

in addition , Use pycharm In this way IDE Executing the test framework is better than selenium IDE It is more convenient
