6. WHAT IS SELENIUM?
“Selenium automates browsers. That's it.”

7. SELENIUM
SELENIUM IDE

Modify Your Targets.
Fill In the Gaps With Tests.
Store and Run Your Tests.

8. SELENIUM IDE
RECORD YOUR ACTIONS.
Live Demo Time!

9. STORE TESTS
WARNING: CONFLICTING INFORMATION!
If you plan to move on to more advanced testing:
Separate different features into different Test Suites.
If you plan to stick with what you got now:
Combine all features into the same Test Suite.

10. STORE TESTS
For both do:
Separate tests into logical test cases.
Share and reap the rewards!

11. RUN TESTS
Make a backup of the database.
(Check out backup and migrate )
Run the Tests!
Restore if needed.

12. <BLINK>
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU ARE READY TO MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
</BLINK>

13. WHERE DOES PHPUNIT COME IN?
PHPUnit allows you to make the process more automated!

14. PHPUNIT
SELENIUM FEATURE OVERVIEW
You can run your old tests! (with massaging)
You can now perform repetitive tasks!
You can now chain running your tests to events!

15. TRANSLATION OF SELENIUM TESTS
There are 2 ways!
PHP Export Addon
Throwing your selenese test cases into a directory and telling
PHPUnit to run em.

16. <IMPERSONATE CLASS='AUDIENCE'>
GREAT... BUT HOW TO DO I USE IT?
</IMPERSONATE>

17. Live Demo Time!

18. <BLINK>
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU'VE LEVELED UP TWICE IN AN HOUR!
</BLINK>
You should feel proud of yourself... No, Really!

19. THERE'S MORE?!? I THOUGHT I MADE THE TESTS
AUTOMATED?
But you can do more with continuous integration provided by a
platform such as Travis, Hudson, Jenkins.

20. CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION
OVERVIEW
Continuous Integration (CI) there to help your work's quality by:
Taking repetitive manual tasks and automating them
Doing these tasks more frequently
And doing these task faster!

21. THINGS THAT NOW BECOME EASIER AND POSSIBLE
Code standard checking
Processing Tasks on events such as commits!
More information in an already formatted report!
Running Tests

22. TO COMPLETE THIS LEVEL YOU MUST...
Install a CI system: Hudson, Jenkins, and Travis are all free with
great documentation.
Build a job: Usually tell it when to run. For instance, on git commit to
github, or every night at midnight.
Tell it what to do: Anything commandline will run. PHPUnit is
commandline. Hudson, Travis, have Selenium built in!

23. <BLINK>
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU'VE MADE IT TO THE END!
</BLINK>
But wait there's one more thing...

24. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT YOU NOW HAVE A
CHOICE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING...
How Automated do you want to go.
What works for your team?
How many resources do you have to dedicate to automation?
IN THE END, IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS BEST FOR YOUR PRODUCT TO GET TO THE LAST LEVEL.
