Perform the test

Selenium Server To perform tests on, you need to use RemoteWebDriver, The Remote Class will interact with as a client selenium Server Interact , To run the test on a remote machine .

in addition , We also need to set up desired_capabilities, That is, the configuration of the browser and operating system , And some other related configurations needed to run the test .

desired_caps = {
    }
desired_caps['platform'] = 'WINDOWS'
desired_caps['browserName'] = 'firefox'

Then create Remote Class instance passed to desired_capabilities, When the script executes ,Remote Class will connect and request Selenium Server start-up Windows On the platform Firefox The browser performs tests .

self.driver = webdriver.Remote('http://192.168.1.103:4444/wd/hub', desired_caps)

To configure Chrome Support ：

chrome.driver="C:\SeDrivers\chromedriver.exe" -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar

Selenium Grid

Selenium Grid Tests can be distributed across several physical or virtual machines , So as to realize distributed or parallel test execution , To achieve the purpose of less test execution cycle and cross browser testing .
