  • Test cases sharing between multiple suites groups
  • Takes care of waiting for you
  • Smart and stable selectors
  • Recording on Chrome and Firefox
  • All of your project is portable within a single file
  • Selenium code export

WHAT’S NEW IN SELENIUM IDE?

slide-37
SLIDE 37

35

  • WebDriver compatibility
  • Export to additional languages (C#, JavaScript, etc...)
  • Data driven testing
  • Improved UI/UX
  • Moving to a native app
  • Make it work for wonky websites 💰
  • Internationalization (i18n)

WHAT’S NEXT IN SELENIUM IDE?

Ca Can Cod Codel eles ess Sc Scale ale???

Testers should write

  • code. Record playback

tools are bad because they encourage the exact opposite.

slide-40

Yeah, whatever, when will Selenium IDE be supported again?

  • No need to develop a complex automation framework
  • Quickly author automated tests
  • Require no programming effort or language specific skills
  • Multiple stakeholders can contribute to the automation effort

PROS OF CODELESS TOOLS

slide-42
SLIDE 42

40

  • Flaky tests / unstable selectors
  • No test reuse
  • Dependency in specific tool
  • Linear test flow
  • Hard to do highly conditional automation
  • Difficult to handle complex validation logic

CONS OF CODELESS TOOLS

slide-43
SLIDE 43

41

  • Code is still my first recommendation
  • Not a knockout victory
  • Codeless can win some rounds
  • Codeless Visual Testing can change the equation for some apps

SO…WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SPOT THE DIFFERENCES

45

  • Visual Testing is the process of

validating all the visual aspects of an application’s UI on all platforms

  • Goes beyond functional testing

tools like Selenium to ensure things like colors, fonts, buttons appear correctly

WHAT IS VISUAL TESTING?

Something for everyone

JUST GETTING STARTED

Step 1. Author tests Step 2. Run them (in parallel, cross- browser, on CI)

  • Using code for automation is still a good choice
  • Record playback tools are becoming smarter and innovative (and in some

cases open source!)

  • Visual Testing super charges your tests
  • Codeless Visual Testing diminishes the impact of not using code and can

actually scale!

  • Selenium IDE is back!
