In this Selenium IDE Tutorial, learn Selenium IDE commands with examples on the Firefox browser:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial is by far one of the most important tutorials to get a hold of Selenium IDE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 3rd tutorial in our multi-part Selenium Tutorials series<\/strong>. We started this Selenium online training series from this tutorial <\/a>where you can find the list of all tutorials covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the introductory tutorials, we got a brief idea about Selenium IDE installation and its features<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n

Selenium IDE Commands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Selenium<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Going ahead, we will exercise and implement these features in real-time by creating our very first Selenium IDE script. Peek into the details of recording fundamentals and available types of commands in Selenium IDE. Apart from that, we will also have a glance at the modifications that can be incorporated into our Selenium scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before jumping on to the creation of the Selenium IDE script, let us take a moment to introduce elementary information about the application under test (AUT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a specimen, we will use \u201cGmail\u201d – an email service designed by Google. I believe because of its unbounded popularity, it needs no more introductions. The URL we will use is \u201chttps:\/\/accounts.google.com\u201d. I have also created dummy credentials to represent test data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating First Selenium IDE Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So let us now create our first script using Selenium IDE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can classify the entire script creation process into 3 chunks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Process #1:<\/strong> Recording<\/strong><\/span> – Selenium IDE aids the user in recording user interactions with the browser and thus the recorded actions are termed as Selenium IDE script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process #2:<\/strong> Playing back<\/strong><\/span> – In this section, we execute the recorded script to verify and monitor its stability and success rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process #3:<\/strong> Saving<\/strong><\/span> – Once we have recorded a stable script, we may want to save it for future runs and regressions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let us now see their implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
