Why Extending Selenium?
• The goal:– Make Selenium tests usable
by non-programmers
– Broader adoption of Selenium within organization beyond the initial high-skill QA team
– Reuse Selenium scripts in wider variety of tools
Selenium as a QA Platform: Pros and Cons
• What Selenium has:– A powerful API-based QA platform– De-facto Automated QA standard
• What Selenium needs:– High skill set (e.g., programming)– Full cycle test management– Custom coding for non-native features
Reducing the Skill Requirement
• Plain Selenium:– Based on API– Requires a “driver program” to implement conditions,
loops, flow control– Build another program to test the original program
• Extending Selenium:– Provide “programming” GUI with high level of abstraction– Import Selenium script into higher level of abstraction IDE– Mix and match Selenium and native 3-rd party commands

Implementing Full Cycle Test Management
• Plain Selenium:– Based on API– Does not have built-in test management features
• Extended Selenium:– Requirements management– Test cases management, versioning, export/import– Environment management– Notifications– Advanced reporting and analytics– Issue tracking, task assignment

Adding Non-Native Features
• Plain Selenium:– Browser API – simulates keyboard and mouse– Requires programming to implement advanced
features
• Enhanced Selenium:– Database access, SQL queries– Data-driven tests– XML parsing– Other non-native functions otherwise requiring
programming
