Automated Test Learning (i) Selenium IDE

For those of us who are testing, automated testing has always been a relatively advanced area, certainly relative to manual testing. Recently, an interest has been made in automated testing. No, the specific point should be an interest in the Selenium tool. Why not QTP, before, QTP also have to learn, and later bought the "QTP Automated Test Advanced Guide", see a few days, I do not know why I do not see. Well! I have always preferred open source technology and tools. First with LR performance test, later found jmeter that small tool, basically can use jmeter solve the problem, not with LR. There are many advantages to open source, of course, there are plenty of problems. There's no more chatter here. Oh.

Let's talk about selenium! Want to learn something, find relevant learning materials is the first step. Tell me what I think is better: "Selenium private Kitchen Series", selenium official documents, "Selenium 1.0 testing Tools". However, I still bought a book, I put the comments on the Dangdang posted over.

"Originally wanted to buy, then listen to a friend said, the content line spacing is very large, there are several pages of the meaning, the previous part is in the translation (selenium) official website of the document, including the back also?" There is really write the author company's actual combat experience. Open a look at the basic and friends said the same. Why buy later, have a bit helpless in inside. Selenium Chinese information is not much, online are scattered fur, I am very poor English, so the English information looks too hard. "Selenium 1.0 Testing Tools" is actually a very good book, but there is no Chinese, in fact, can slowly chew, but Selenium 2.0 have come out, selenium RC has been replaced by Selinum server, and added a lot of new technology, can't keep up. So, I can only choose this book, hope to help me. "My notes below are based on the 0 cost implementation Web Automation test---Based on seleinum and bromine."
