Selenium+python Environment Construction

Selenium Introduction:

Selenium1, also known as SELENIUMRC or remote Control. is the original project of selenium. RC is the operation that uses JS to drive the browser after the browser is started. Why is it called RC? Because RC is designed to support the control of selenium server on the remote server to operate the remote side of the browser.

Selenium2, also known as Selenium webdriver. Webdriver turned out to be another automated test tool, and then merged with Selenium. Webdriver directly invokes the browser itself on automation-supported interfaces to drive browser operations. Hence the name, it will have different driver to drive different browsers on different systems

Simply put, the original tool for the Selenium project is an IDE, RC, grid, and then an integrated framework. It is also the most popular PC B/S Architecture Automation test framework at present.

First, install the Python link: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Based on your own familiar version of the download, roughly 2. X and 3.X two versions, novice advice directly to start Python3, syntax than python2 easy to learn; Install complete python installation directory add to environment variable, convenient later command window character debugging;

2.sumline Text 3 can also be used, a bit is open to write code faster, but need to install Python plugin to compile and run, and often encounter inexplicable problems;

Five, the environment after the success of the simple operation of the first program, test

Six, the success of the operation, you are done, start your performance ~ ~ ~ encountered problems do not panic, one by one to check, not who can succeed at once;
