and the PageObject Design Model
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
1
 How Selenium Remote Control works
 You launch a server on your test machine.
 Your tests connect to that server via IP.
 The server launches a browser, with selenium CORE
embedded as javascript into the page.
 Selenium CORE simulates user actions with javascript.
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
2
THE GOOD THE BAD
 Doesn’t steal your
mouse/keyboard.
 Works with any browser that
uses javascript
 Works for any OS that
supports java.
 Very fast page interactions.
 Large API
 Supports a variety of
programming languages.
 Can be run on remote
machines
 Can’t see anything outside
the page object.
 Not all browsers support all
functionality.
 Some pages aren’t
automatable.
 Can’t see inside third party
apps
 XSS Limitations
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
3
 A different way of automating the browser.
 Create a browser-specific driver to control the browser
directly.
 Have to do this for each browser!
 Object oriented API
 Doesn’t need a real browser
 No javascript limitations
 No need for a server.
 Isn’t as delicate as selenium.

 Went into Beta Dec 24th
.
 WebDriver + Selenium
 The two projects have merged (literally) into
Selenium 2.0
 Large browser support and no javascript limitations.
 No server
 The old API’s are still available.
 New API’s are becoming available.
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
5
 You have 2 options:
 IWebDriver
 This is just the WebDriver api
 Doesn’t support a lot of browsers.
 Will need to change all your tests.
 WebDriverBackedSelenium
 Uses the old Selenium 1 API
 But uses WebDriver to run things if possible
 Can use selenium 1 if the browser isn’t supported.
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
6
 Object Oriented
 Doesn’t break nearly as often
 Handles pageloads automatically
 Fewer problems automating
 Somewhat more complicated API
 selenium.type(“password”,”thisIsMyPassword”);
 driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(“thisIsMyPassword");
 By.Id, By.Xpath, By.Name, By.ClassName, By.PartialLinkText
 All the supported browsers work really well
 Can extend the API to add custom functionality.
 Works well with a Page Object design model.
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
7
 Adds a layer of abstraction into your code.
 Helps to organize your code once it grows large.
 All automation is automatically reusable and shareable.
 A way to separate tests from re-usable functions.
 A way to store information about how the system works.
 A way to specify what page functions start on, and what page they end on.
 A way to programmatically break your tests when functionality changes.
 Makes code maintenance easier.
 There is even a PageFactory class available to automatically create them.
www.Seleniumonlinetraining.info
8
 Each page is defined as it’s own class.
 Actions (including navigation) are represented as functions for a class.
 Each function returns a new Page object, signifying what page the actions stops
on.
 Your tests “know” what page you are on, and will only give you access to
functions available to that class.
 Tests only talk to the page objects.
 Page objects only talk to the driver.
 Elements on the page are stored as variables for the page object.
 Automatic page validations can be stored in the constructor for each page
object.
 Tests become a string of well defined functions, not meaningless gibberish.
 Tests can be grouped by namespace.
 Class Inheritance can be used to define functionality to a set of pages.
 We can make functional logic transparent to the tests by returning different
inherited classes.
