Chapter 1 - Introduction
Goals
• Introduce participants to each other
• Establish the goals of the program
• Do a “warm up” on selenium
• Setup Environment ( IDE, repo etc )
Architecture

Chapter 2: Selenium Core
Goals
User should be able to…
• Write a simple test case in Selenese
• Demonstrate understanding of core and core-less
• Demonstrate understanding of core profiles
• Familiarity with various JS files
• Demonstrate how to build and deploy core part to Maven
Agenda
• Building the Selenium Core
Outline
• Explain the source tree layout
• Create sample HTML page
• Create Selenese test case
• Include the test case in the actual suite ( conditions configure for
specific browser etc)
• Building the selenium core
• Describe conversion
• looking at pom.xml for selenese ant task
• Describe important JS files which are part of Selenium Core.
• Describe how Selenium coreless creates profile
• Firebug
• Windows Registry
• difference between PI mode and non PI mode ( diff between the JS
files being loaded )
Links
• Starting with Selenium
• Setting up Apache on OS X
• Ajax Testing with Selenium using waitForCondition
• Agile Testing with Selenium

Notes
browser launcher, launcher util, WindowsUtils, creation of firefox
profile and extension, ie registry modification, fire bug extension,
fire fox 3 patch, iedoc.xml geberation with rhino
selenium-api.js, selenium-browserbot.js, selenium-remoterunner.js,
selenium-testrunner.js, different between PI mode loading and non-pi
mode loading of js files

Chapter 3 – Selenium Server
Goals
User should be able to demonstrate understanding of
• the source structure of Selenium Server
• how selenium server and selenium core talk to each other (Incase of
selenese test case – selenium-testrunner.js and driver commands )
• diff context paths in the selenium server
• how selenium server handles requests
Outline
• Talk about source structure of SS ( talk about selenium server =
(SeleniumCore +SeleniumCoreLess ))
• Describe architecture of the Selenium Server
• Describes the commands Selenium Core sends to Selenium Server
( Excercise: Do this with FireBug; involve students )
• How selenium server handles selenese test cases
• How selenium server handles test cases driven by driver
• Talk about SSL certificates.
Notes
proxy handler
static content handler (classpath resources)
cache content handler
selenium driver handler

Chapter 4 – Selenium Driver
Goals
User should be able to demonstrate and understanding of ….
• How selenium converts iedoc.xml XML to Java/ruby/python driver
interface and implementation with iedocXXX.xml xslt & Converting
selenese test case to Java test case with XLateHTML2Java and handling
special conditions while test case conversion
• How to run test cases from Java driver end.
• Selenium Driver <—> Selenium Server interactions
Outline
• From the XML doc generated in Chapter one, we will talk about how
code is generated out of it.
• In case of Java binding , how they are creating Java test case from
selenese test case.
• What if we dont want them to generate the system automatically?
• getEval (“WaitUntilPresent”)
• how to get rid of getEval and extending the Selenium driver
( inheritance OR composition )
• patterns (do, get , is )

Chapter 5 – Selenium Driver
Goals
User should be able to demonstrate and understanding of ….
• Understanding hooks
• Understanding how to extend the selenium core objects
• How things would differ from PI and non PI mode
Outline
• Taking the click and the wait ; such that click implicitly calls a
wait

Chapter 6 – Selenium Modes
Goals
User should be able to demonstrate and understanding of ….
• IEHTA/chrome #Running a functional test case under different
browsers
• Page ranking algorithm
• Multi-domain issues
• How to exclude files from injection
Outline
• Talk about IEHTA and Chrome modes
• Demonstrate running the functional tests under different browsers
Facilitated Discussion – “What are the major cross-browser issues have
you faced in general and with Selenium in particular?”

Chapter 7 (part 1) XPath
Goals
User should be able to demonstrate and understanding of ….
• difference between XPath implementation in IE and firefox
• how to change the XPath library used for IE
Outline
• Talk about XPath Implementation in IE and firefox
• Attendees will be asked to find out how to change the XPath library
for IE
• Explain the difference between the two javascript implementations
• Talk about the pros/cons of the native IE XPath implementation
( Including issues with MSXML )
NotesChapter

MSXML cannot deal with malformed HTML documents. That is why a
JavaScript library is needed to deal with XPath.

Chapter 8

This Chapter is more of discussions regarding Selenium issues
• Running selenium test cases in parallel (Selenium Grid)
• Slow JS
• Flex Driver
• Selenium-Flash demo Topics to vary wrt to time. Participation from
audience encouraged
Outline
• Demonstrate the stuff mentioned in the goals and talk in detail

Chapter 9: Wrap Up
Facilitated discussions regarding
• Twist
