Product Description
Product Description
Selenium is one of the most popular open-source automated testing tools available today. Understanding Selenium-RC and writing automated tests in a programming language are sought after skills on the job market and a great way of maximising the benefit from automated testing. Contrary to the beliefs of many testers, learning to code does not have to be complicated or hard. "Selenium Simplified" takes you through the process of installing and learning to use all the basic tools needed to write automated tests using Java as the programming language. Written in a tutorial style, this book helps you learn to code even if you haven't programmed before. No time is wasted on the theory of automation or padding about the tools. This book focuses on the practical knowledge needed to automate tests for production systems. After reading this book you will be able to: - Write tests in Java - even if you haven't coded before reading this book - Install and maintain all the free development and testing tools covered within: Eclipse, JUnit, Selenium, Hudson, Subversion, Xpather, Selenium-IDE - Write automated tests scripts using Java and Selenium-RC - Create abstraction layers to make your automated tests maintainable and readable - Run your automated tests under continuous integration - Use multiple browsers to execute your tests - Understand the most utilised commands in the Selenium API - Test Ajax based web applications - Use Xpath and CSS Selectors in your tests - Understand how to optimise and refactor your tests - Use JUnit for data driven testing

A thoroughly practical guide,
By
This review is from: Selenium Simplified (Paperback)
I read this book as an ebook under development, and now have a hard copy on order.This isn't one of those tutorial guides that skips merrily through a few toy examples, then plunges into the deep end leaving the gulf in between as "an exercise for the reader". Alan doesn't shy away from tackling the tricky stuff, but he makes the development from the your very first recorded Selenium IDE test, to using Selenium RC, Page Objects, and setting up a continuous integration server to run your tests automatically seem clear and logical. He'll start with a simple but clunky "beginner" level solution, and then show you how to refine it and make it more robust - exactly what you'd need to do in practice, but also exactly what many textbooks leave out. He gives you enough information along the way about various topics to follow along, but provides plenty of references to more detailed resources for when you want to go back and dig deeper. I'm tremendously glad this book came along when it did - I really needed to get to grips with Selenium, and finding a guide friendly enough for a novice, and in-depth enough for someone who needs to do real work with it, was almost as good as having a Selenium expert sat right next to me to help.

Simply Outstanding,

This review is from: Selenium Simplified (Paperback)
I followed Alans progress on this book after i purchased the ebook and found it to be a fantastic introductory and reference book for the beginner and experienced automation engineer looking to learn the Selenium open source tool.Great examples and tips which we have used in our implementation of our test cases in Selenium RC. I hope Alan follows this up with a Selenium 2.0 WebDriver version! Best regards to Alan, great book and best of luck.

Wish it was updated,
By QAQC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Selenium Simplified (Paperback)
I'm a COMPLETE Selenium newbie (and know very little about Java) so I got this book so I could learn Selenium step by step since lots of companies are asking for this tool.Although this book seems to be well written, I'm finding myself having trouble just with the few few chapters. The reason? In the book it takes you step by step through the installation of Selenium RC. However, when you go to the Selenium site to download 'Selenium RC' it appears that Selenium RC has been replaced with "Selenium Server". So the syntax in the book is outdated, it will tell the reader to enter a certain string in the Command Prompt Window and that doesn't work in this new "selenium-standalone-server" folder. With the old Selenium-RC it looks like folders for Java, Ruby, C# etc. are downloaded along with Selenium-RC.. not the case anymore. Learning new software is challenging enough, it gets really confusing when the book you're referencing is out of date. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Good book to learn the Selenium API,
By Burke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Selenium Simplified (Paperback)
Yes, Selenium 2.0 is now available, but everything you learn in this book carries forward.This is definitely a book for programming geeks. If you're going to get a lot out of this book, you probably need to know java and be familiar with Hudson/Jenkins. Other topics include Eclipse, SVN, and ANT. If you're not a developer, or want to use the Selenium IDE, check out "Selenium 1.0 Testing Tools: Beginner's Guide" |
