Tools for Automating Interactions:

1. Selenium IDE:

this is a Firefox add-on

Disadvantages: - it can only be used with FF

- also, all selenium tools don’t support RIA technologies such as: Silverlight, JavaFx, and Flex/Flash.

2. Selenium WebDriver: Is a programming interface for developing advanced

scripts using different programming languages.

We can run tests on multiple browsers that is so-called: Cross-Browser; And on multiple OS that is so-called: Cross-Platform (IOS, Android, Linux, Win, Mac, …).

Se.WebDriver offers many libraries for writing test scripts in various languages, including Java, C#, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, and JavaScript.

3. Selenium Standalone Server:

known as “Se.Grid” and that distributes test-scripts on machines

For Se.Grid, need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE); then:

1) nohup java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.jar > /root/milani/selenium.log &

2) java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.jar -host 10.1.10.14 -port 4444 -role hub

3. Selenium Standalone Server:

Hub: be understood as server which acts as the central point

Node: are Se.instances that are attached to the Hub which execute the tests.

Note «Se.Grid includes Hub, WebDriver, and Se.RC to execute the scripts in the Grid.
