selenium学习

1. selenium可用于浏览器兼容测试及系统功能测试：

• Browser compatibility testing. Test your application to see if it works correctly on different browsers and operating systems. The same script can run on any Selenium platform.
  
• System functional testing. Create regression tests to verify application functionality and user acceptance.

2. 运行selenium core需要对服务器有写权限。Selenium Core uses a unique mechanism which allows it to run on so many platforms. Written in pure JavaScript/DHTML, you copy Selenium Core tests directly into your your application webserver, allowing the tests to run in any supported browser on the client-side. Thus, you must have write access to the machine your web application server is running on to install Selenium Core.

 Selenium is designed specifically for the acceptance testing requirements of Agile teams. However, teams using more traditional development will also find it useful.

 

 

难题（不能解决的问题）

1. 保存文件，保存密码等对话框无法处理。

You can, but only if the dialog is an alert or confirmation dialog. Other special dialogs can't be dismissed by javascript, and thus currently cannot be interacted with. These include the "Save File", "Remember this Password" (Firefox), and modal (IE) dialogs. When they appear, Selenium can only wring its hands in despair.

To solve this issue, you may use a workaround (if one exists); otherwise you may have to exclude the test from your automated corpus. For the "Save File" dialog in Firefox, a custom template may be specified when running via the RC that will always cause the file to be downloaded to a specified location, without querying the user (see http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?messageID=31350 ). The "Remember this Password" dialog should not appear again after you've chosen to remember it. Currently there is not much that can be done about IE modal dialogs.

2.下载文件处理

Currently it is only possible to do this by configuring Firefox with a profile template, telling it to save a file to a specified location without prompting the user with a file chooser dialog. See here: http://clearspace.openqa.org/message/31350 . There do not appear to be workarounds for other browsers yet.
