Selenium IDE (Browser Acceptance Tool)

While browsing Google London Test Automation Conference 2006 topics, a cool tool drew my attention. It's a collaborative open source project of Jason Huggins, a test engineer at Google.

The tool offers:

  • Easy record and playback
  • Intelligent field selection will use IDs, names, or XPath as needed
  • Autocomplete for all common Selenium commands
  • Walk through tests
  • Debug and set breakpoints
  • Save tests as HTML, Ruby scripts, or any other format
  • Support for Selenium user-extensions.js file
  • Option to automatically assert the title of every page

I tried the Firefox extension and it was just awesome. What i really liked the most is its light weight and its support of many scripting languages. So why don't you get your hands dirty and try it out. :)

Jason Huggins did a dedicated presentation on the tool back in 2006:




Independent Thoughts:
This is like a credit crunch cause, where you will be needing loans. Instead of giving up your homes for sale, think of your credit card as an insurance. If you can use it to get a car insurance, you can definitely use it to get loans too.
