www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING Let’s See The Similarities Between Selenium RC & Selenium WebDriver

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING RC & WebDriver Similarities Both RC and WebDriver support the use of different programming languages to design test scripts Programming Language Both RC and WebDriver support running tests in different browsers Web Browser Development Environment Neither RC and WebDriver support use of IDE; only support for programming interface Web Element Locator Both RC and WebDriver make use of Elements/ Object locators/ WebDriver methods

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING WebDriver Was Founded To Overcome the Drawbacks Of RC

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING Selenium RC vs. Selenium WebDriver FASTER

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING Advantages Of WebDriver Over RC SELENIUM WEBDRIVER Simple Architecture Slower because it uses a Javascript program called Selenium Core RC Server is the middleman in the interactions between browser & user No support for HTMLUnit browser Faster because it interacts with browser directly Direct Interaction with user Support for HTMLUnit browser SELENIUM RC Complex Architecture

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING But, Selenium WebDriver Cannot Do All On Its Own

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING I can use WebDriver for testing on local machine But, what about testing on a remote machine Testing Times For WebDriver

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING I can use WebDriver for testing on local machine But, what about testing on a remote machine NOTE: While testing on a remote machine, commands from WebDriver go to Selenium RC Server which is then interpreted on remote machine to automate the browser I can use both RC server and WebDriver while testing on remote machine RC To The Rescue For WebDriver

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING Now Let’s Concentrate More On Selenium WebDriver

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING What Is Selenium WebDriver? Selenium WebDriver is a programming interface to create and execute test cases Test cases are created and executed using Elements locators/ Object locators/ WebDriver methods Selenium WebDriver has only a programming interface; not IDE Fast as it interacts with browser directly; RC needs RC server to interact with browser •Each browser has its own driver on which the application runs. Selenium WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING WebDriver Features & Drawbacks • Supports most Programming languages, Browsers & Operating systems • Overcomes limitations of Selenium 1 like file upload, download, pop-ups & dialogs barrier • WebDriver's API is simpler than RC's API. It does not contain redundant & confusing commands • Supports Batch testing, Cross browser testing & Data driven testing Selenium WebDriver Limitations Selenium WebDriver Features • Detailed test reports cannot be generated; RC generates detailed reports • It doesn’t have IDE; difficult to create test cases

www.edureka.co/testing-with-selenium-webdriverEDUREKA’S SELENIUM CERTIFICATION TRAINING Now, Let’s See How Selenium WebDriver Works
