Selenium IDE is an Automation testing tool that provide Record/Playback tool for testing website. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It is a Firefox Add-On and allows recording, editing and debugging test. Usually Screen shot are taken for all type of application testing such as Web based, Product base etc. The reason for taking screen shot during testing is that, we can capture screen information easily when an error occurs in an application. Tester will manually take screen shot of the required page with the help of Plugin/Add-On in Manual testing.

Selenium IDE has a recording feature, that provides an easy-to-use interface for developing automated tests. Selenium IDE was developed by Shinya Kasatani. Selenium IDE became a part of Selenium Package in the year 2006. Then tool becomes a great value and potential to the community.

Suppose you have a site to test which has the following functionality. There is a text field and an editor. When we enter text on the text field, immediately it should be displayed on the editor. To be more clear, after entering the text on the field then focusing out from it, the values should be displayed in the CK editor. And our intention is to automate it using Selenium. Lets check how this can be automated.

Creating basic page is a general test must be done for all Drupal sites. And you are decided to do this through automated tool Selenium.The problem we face here is that you can't test inserting contents in the CK Editor by record and play. You have to insert Selenium commands for adding contents in the CK editor. Lets see how this can be handled.

Smoke testing, the preliminary level of testing is done to ensure whether the major functionalities of a build/software is functioning properly. In simpler words, we can say that it is an entry criteria for ensuring that a software is ready for further testing. Confidence testing, Build Verification Testing are other names for smoke testing. In this type of testing, testers execute test cases based upon the requirement mainly the positive cases. The main functionalities, work flows etc will be tested first.

E-Commerce testing is a very difficult task. E-commerce websites are very complex in nature. Simulating every possible action of the user is impossible because testers cannot predict the nature the of the customers. With quick change in technology, testers find it difficult to regulate tools or techniques for E-commerce testing. Some of the challenges of E-commerce testing are showing below.

Spike testing is usually done to estimate the weakness of an application and see the dramatic behavior of the system when a sudden increment or decrements in the load by a user. Spike testing is mainly done to see how the system reacts with unexpected rise and fall of the load. It is also called Data volume testing.

Waterfall model a process in software development, where all the development phases such as requirement gathering, designing, implementation, verification and maintenance were carried out separately and executed only after the completion of each phase. The major drawback of this model is that, the in between changes from the client cannot be included. Since the working model reaches the client only at the final stage of the development process, there can be chances of misinterpretation of requirements, which consumes more time in fixing. Here comes the advantages of agile model.

CSV the Comma-Separated Value or the Character-Separated Value is a highly useful format frequently used to save data from websites. Any spreadsheet program like MS Excel or even an ASCII text-editing application can be used to import the data. In one of my recent projects, there was a requirement to provide an Export link, which should export the report to a CSV file. The report had three fields ( product, quantity and amount). It also had a 'from date' and 'to date' field for sorting the report between a period. Following are the test cases I executed for this case.

As you know, in agile methodology, Developers, Testers and Business work closely. So before going to the topic "Roles and responsibilities of a tester", here I give a brief description about Agile method. In this method the entire application development activity will be divided into regular time frames called sprints. The sprint period may be one or two weeks, one month or 2 months based on the nature of the project. So the first phase is sprint planning.

Are you looking for a method to measure your test coverage? Are you finding it difficult to give an exact percentage of your testing? If so here is a simple template for you to calculate the test coverage. As we know, test coverage is the amount of testing performed. It could be calculated as below: (Number of test cases executed/Total number of test cases) X 100%

We all are familiar with the drop-downs on website. It is used to list a series of items under a box/menu. Suppose we have a page which lists apparels. And in apparels we have categories like shirts, t-shirts, trousers etc. We can sort these categories with the help of a drop-down (select tool). The working of drop-down is in such a way that, by default the drop-down will list only one item. When user clicks the down arrow which is displayed near to the menu, the drop-down will be dropped down and will list all the choices below. The drop-down may have pretty large list of items. So in order to select the down most items, there will option for users to scroll down. These are the primary things about a drop-down. Now lets see the test cases for testing the drop-down.
