copied!<p>If you are using <a href="http://selenium-ide.openqa.org/" rel="noreferrer">Selenium IDE</a> to generates code, then you just get a list of every action that selenium will executes. To me, Selenium IDE is a good way to start or do a fast "try and see" test. But, when you think about maintainability and more readable code, you must write your own code.</p> <p>A good way to achieve good selenium code is use the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/webdriver/wiki/PageObjects" rel="noreferrer">Page Object Pattern</a> in a way that the code represents your navigation flow. Here is a good example that I see in <a href="http://dojofloripa.wordpress.com/2008/04/20/como-usar-tdd-e-page-objects-para-construir-interfaces-web/" rel="noreferrer">Coding Dojo Floripa</a> (from Brazil):</p> <pre><code>public class GoogleTest { private Selenium selenium; @Before public void setUp() throws Exception { selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en"); selenium.start(); } @Test public void codingDojoShouldBeInFirstPageOfResults() { GoogleHomePage home = new GoogleHomePage(selenium); GoogleSearchResults searchResults = home.searchFor("coding dojo"); String firstEntry = searchResults.getResult(0); assertEquals("Coding Dojo Wiki: FrontPage", firstEntry); } @After public void tearDown() throws Exception { selenium.stop(); } } public class GoogleHomePage { private final Selenium selenium; public GoogleHomePage(Selenium selenium) { this.selenium = selenium; this.selenium.open("http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en"); if (!"Google".equals(selenium.getTitle())) { throw new IllegalStateException("Not the Google Home Page"); } } public GoogleSearchResults searchFor(String string) { selenium.type("q", string); selenium.click("btnG"); selenium.waitForPageToLoad("5000"); return new GoogleSearchResults(string, selenium); } } public class GoogleSearchResults { private final Selenium selenium; public GoogleSearchResults(String string, Selenium selenium) { this.selenium = selenium; if (!(string + " - Google Search").equals(selenium.getTitle())) { throw new IllegalStateException( "This is not the Google Results Page"); } } public String getResult(int i) { String nameXPath = "xpath=id('res')/div[1]/div[" + (i + 1) + "]/h2/a"; return selenium.getText(nameXPath); } } </code></pre> <p>Hope that Helps</p>
