Most testing frameworks have the concept of grouping a set of text fixtures into a ’suite’ so that you can execute a number of related tests together.

Creating test suites with Selenium doesn’t appear to be obvious at first. Here’s a simple guide on how to create and execute suites of functional tests:

Here i am using Junit scripts and Test suite()


First create two scripts....Ex:Google1 and Google2

Google1.java

------------------------------------------------------------
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google1 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}

@Test
public void testText1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------


Google2.java

------------------------------------------------------------
package defaultpackage;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google2 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;


public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}


public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}


public void testText2() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------


Here is the test suite....TestSuite1.java
------------------------------------------------------------

import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;
import junit.textui.TestRunner;

public class TestSuite1 extends TestCase {

public static Test suite()
{
TestSuite nag = new TestSuite();

nag.addTestSuite( Google1.class);
nag.addTestSuite( Google2.class);
return nag;
}

public static void main(String arg[])
{
TestRunner.run(suite());

}
}
------------------------------------------------------------



Run the TestSuite1.java script ...it will automatically run the Google1 and Google2....

Even though first test case is failed it will run the second one....we can change the order of the test cases...

Here is the sample script which will open a page...

This script was written using JUnit...


import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class Google1 extends SeleneseTestCase{

private Selenium selenium;
private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iehta", "http://");
seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
seleniumServer.start();
selenium.start();
}



@Test
public void testText1() throws Exception {
selenium.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
}
@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumServer.stop();
}
}

This is the script ...which will count number of check boxes in a page and number of checked check boxes and unchecked check boxes




package test;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class Checkboxcount {
public Selenium selenium;
public SeleniumServer seleniumserver;

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
seleniumserver = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox","http://");
seleniumserver.start();
selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testDefaultTNG() throws Exception {

selenium.open("http://browsershots.org/");
selenium.windowMaximize();

//Count of check boxes
Number c  =selenium.getXpathCount("//input[@type['checkbox']]");
System.out.println("Count of check boxes " +c);
//Number of check boxes checked
Number d = selenium.getXpathCount("//input[@type='checkbox' and @checked]");
System.out.println("Count of Checked check boxes " +d);
//Number of check boxes unchecked
Number e = selenium.getXpathCount("//input[@type='checkbox' and not(@checked)]");
System.out.println("Count of Checked check boxes " +e);
}

@AfterClass
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumserver.stop();

}
}

How to verify value in drop down list.


Its difficult to find element with some specific attributes.
Take an example How to find some value is in drop down list or not? 
To find element drop down is easy but to find a drop down having some specific value in their list is difficult.


Go to www.google.com  and click Advanced Search, you will see there are some drop down boxes.

How to verify a specific value "50 results" is in drop down list.




Here is the script for finding the value is in drop down or not





package test;


import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;


import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;




public class Dropdownall {
public Selenium selenium;
public SeleniumServer seleniumserver;


  @BeforeClass
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
seleniumserver = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://");
seleniumserver.start();
selenium.start();
}


@Test
public void testDropdownall()throws Exception {

selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.click("link=Advanced Search");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("50000");

//Verifying Element is Present or not here i used xpath to find that

if(selenium.isElementPresent("//select[@name='num']/option[contains(text(),'50 results')]"))
{
System.out.println("ys");
}


}
   
 @AfterClass
 public void tearDown()throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumserver.stop();
 
 }
 }



//select[@name='num']/option[contains(text(),'50 results')]





Here name=num is the name of the dropdown u can see it in HTML code...
We used contains (text(),50 results') .....

Here is the post which will explain you 

How to select a value from drop down
Identify the selected value in drop down.
Display the values in drop down
Verifying Element is Present or not here i used xpath to find that


package test;


import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;


import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;




public class Dropdownselectvalue {
public Selenium selenium;
public SeleniumServer seleniumserver;


  @BeforeClass
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
seleniumserver = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://");
seleniumserver.start();
selenium.start();
}


@Test
public void testDropdownselectvalue()throws Exception {

selenium.open("http://www.google.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.click("link=Advanced Search");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("50000");
// Print all the available options from the results dropdown in the
String[] options = selenium.getSelectOptions("name=num");
// The above command returns a array of strings(options)
    for (int i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Option: " + i + " is " + options[i]);
}
//select value from dropdown
    selenium.select("num", "label=30 results");
    //Print the selected value from dropdown
String s=selenium.getSelectedValue("name=num");
System.out.println("selected value is "+s);

//Verifying Element is Present or not here i used xpath to find that if(selenium.isElementPresent("//select[@name='num']/option[contains(text(),'50 results')]")) { System.out.println("ys"); }


}
   
 @AfterClass
 public void tearDown()throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumserver.stop();
 
 }
 }

Tools for identifying the element names and IDs


We have to use some tools to identify the element locators.

1. Debugbar
2. Firebug

Below sample bug/defect report will give you exact idea of how to report a bug in bug tracking tool.
Here is the example scenario that caused a bug:
Lets assume in your application under test you want to create a new user with user information, for that you need to logon into the application and navigate to USERS menu > New User, then enter all the details in the ‘User form’ like, First Name, Last Name, Age, Address, Phone etc. Once you enter all these information, you need to click on ‘SAVE’ button in order to save the user. Now you can see a success message saying, “New User has been created successfully”.
But when you entered into your application by logging in and navigated to USERS menu > New user, entered all the required information to create new user and clicked on SAVE button. BANG! The application crashed and you got one error page on screen. (Capture this error message window and save as a Microsoft paint file)
Now this is the bug scenario and you would like to report this as a BUG in your bug-tracking tool.
How will you report this bug effectively?
Here is the sample bug report for above mentioned example:
(Note that some ‘bug report’ fields might differ depending on your bug tracking system)
SAMPLE BUG REPORT:
Bug Name: Application crash on clicking the SAVE button while creating a new user.
Bug ID: (It will be automatically created by the BUG Tracking tool once you save this bug)
Area Path: USERS menu > New Users
Build Number: Version Number 5.0.1
Severity: HIGH (High/Medium/Low) or 1
Priority: HIGH (High/Medium/Low) or 1
Assigned to: Developer-X
Reported By: Your Name
Reported On: Date
Reason: Defect
Status: New/Open/Active (Depends on the Tool you are using)
Environment: Windows 2003/SQL Server 2005
Description:
Application crash on clicking the SAVE button while creating a new
user, hence unable to create a new user in the application.
Steps To Reproduce:
1) Logon into the application
2) Navigate to the Users Menu > New User
3) Filled all the user information fields
4) Clicked on ‘Save’ button
5) Seen an error page “ORA1090 Exception: Insert values Error…”
6) See the attached logs for more information (Attach more logs related to bug..IF any)
7) And also see the attached screenshot of the error page.
Expected result: On clicking SAVE button, should be prompted to a success message “New User has been created successfully”.
(Attach ‘application crash’ screen shot.. IF any)
Save the defect/bug in the BUG TRACKING TOOL.  You will get a bug id, which you can use for further bug reference.
Default ‘New bug’ mail will go to respective developer and the default module owner (Team leader or manager) for further action.
