Selenium-Java

Hi,
I work in the R&D department of a software firm and my area is enhancing automation testing.
Currently my work revolves around building a framework around selenium(Open source test automation tool) and subsequently I intend to build an IDE for it.
The framework is for selenium(java) and the IDE is built using c#.

Selenium has great potential primarily because it supports a variety of languages from Java,C#,php,etc.And the best part is its open source. I am learning a lot of new things and I plan to post a lot in here on selenium and test automation in general.

Hope this would help others get started. As I see it there is good scope for automation testing.

Hope I am not violating any rules by creating a new thread here!

Regards,
Kamal

Hi Kamal,

Nice to see people interested in Selenium 😀

So I too work on Selenium using Hava and I use Eclipse as an IDE.

I didnt get developing one more IDE for selenium?

Why is that required? Cant we use Eclipse?

Hi Sacred English,

Yep,Eclipse IDE would suffice to develop selenium scripts. But unlike QTP selenium does not come with ready features to do data-driven or key word driven testing.
We would have to write our custom code to fetch test datas. So we have build a custom keyword-driven and data-driven framework around selenium. This IDE is like an user interface for this framework.

Hope I made some sense.

Btw,English-sacred,have you had a chance to work with selenium 2.0? Heard that it addresses most of the current drawbacks of selenium. How different it is to the current version?
