- 20. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava Selenium IDE : Controls and Commands Selenium IDE UI Menu Bar File menu New/Open/Save Test Suite and Test Case Edit menu Copy, paste, delete, undo, and select all operations for editing the test cases Options menu Changing of settings e.g. set the timeout value, add user-defined user extensions and specify the format (language) Help menu Base URL Allows test scripts to be run across different domains
- 21. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava Selenium IDE : Controls and Commands Selenium IDE UI Toolbar - Buttons in the tool bar are used to control the test scripts Speed Control: controls how fast test case runs Run All: Runs the entire test suite when a test suite with multiple test cases is loaded Run: Runs the currently selected test. When only a single test is loaded this button and the Run All button have the same effect Pause/Resume: Allows stopping and re-starting of a running test case
- 22. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava Selenium IDE : Controls and Commands Selenium IDE UI Toolbar - Buttons in the tool bar are used to control the test scripts Allows to “step” through a test case by running it one command at a time. Use for debugging test cases Apply Rollup Rules: Allows repetitive sequences of Selenium commands to be grouped into a single action Record: Records the user’s browser actions Reload test case
- 23. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava Selenium IDE : Controls and Commands Test Suite Vs Test Case Test Case: A single step or collection of steps to test a condition/path or feature. It contains steps and expected result for each step or test case. Test Suite: Collection of test cases to test function/feature. A test case can be path of multiple test suites.
- 24. Copyright @ 2016 Disha Srivastava Selenium IDE : Controls and Commands Create a test suite The optional fields are a test case ID, test step or order of execution number, related requirement(s), depth, test category, author, and check boxes for whether the test is automatable and has been automated. It may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions of the following tests. It can have any combination of Test Cases which are required for the corresponding Testing phase. So 2 Test Suites can actually have the same or widely different Test Cases.

SelBench Provides utilities for testing, validating, and benchmarking Selenium IDE scripts Stored Variables Viewer Stored variables are created using the store, storeText, storeExpression and other similar store* commands. This plugin allows you to view these variables when the test is running Test Results This plugin saves the results of the test execution for the test suite and included test cases with a single click. It also allows you to export the test results for individual test cases.
