- 43. Key features of Selenium IDE
- 44. Key features Re-usability of test scripts Many of the test scripts have test steps that involve signing into an application or creating an account or signing out of an app It is redundant and a waste of time to recreate these test steps over and over The new Selenium IDE allows one script to run another
- 45. Key features Debugging in IDE The Selenium IDE facilitates debugging of test scripts It allows the user to provide breakpoints where the execution of the test script halts, thus allowing the user to inspect the browser’s state
- 46. Key features Control flow statements Various pop-ups, notifications, subscription windows, etc can be handled easily using control flow statements If “X” appears, do “this” to handle it Conditional logic(control flow) statements can be added to the IDE test script
- 47. Key features Selenium Side Runner The new Selenium IDE allows the users to run all Selenium IDE tests on any browser, in parallel, and on a Grid without needing to write any code This ensures that the test suite executes faster Prerequisites— • Node version 8 or 10 • npm package that typically gets installed with Node • Selenium-side-runner • Browser driver
