And Solutions..
• Mozilla Extension – “Driftwood” by Andrew McCormick from Thoughtworks. Worked, but it was firefox only solution.
• Paul Gross and Jasson Huggin set out to implement Fit for JS.
• Which eventually became Selenium Core or Java Script Test Runner

In search of treasure
The journey begins..•Want to automate ? •What are the common problems faced by people when using selenium IDE?

Found my first Gem….UI Element
How can this precious gem help me?
@testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com
UI Element is...
• • ...a mapping between semantically meaningful names of elements on webpages, and the elements.
...defined using JSON
@testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com
Abstraction With UI-Element selenium.type("q", “TestingGeek"); selenium.click("btnG");
LOGIN_BUTTON = "css=input[value='Log in']"DELETE_CONFIRMATION = "css=input[value='\"Yes, I'm sure\"']"
myMap.addPageset({ name: 'allPages', description: 'All WLL Pages', pathRegexp: '.*'});
myMap.addElement ('allPages', { name: 'register' , description: 'Register link on all the pages' , locator: "xpath=//*[@id='user']/dd/a[1]" })
sel.click("ui=allPages::register()")

I want to extend Selenium with some new assertions,actions
No problem User-extension.js is here for that.
@testinggeek www.TestingGeek.com
Extending Slenium...
Selenium Object PrototypePagebot Object Prototype.On startup, Selenium will automatically look
through methods on these prototypes, using name patterns to recognize which ones are actions, assertions and locators.

Integrate with CI tools
Mavenise your automation... And integrate them with Hudson...
