Record and play sample script in Selenium IDE

Record and play sample script in Selenium IDE 

DAY 1

Creating First Selenium IDE Script

The entire script creation process can be classified into 3 chunks:

Step #1: Recording – Selenium IDE aids the user to record user interactions with the browser and thus the recorded actions as a whole are termed as Selenium IDE script.

Step #2: Playing back – In this section, we execute the recorded script so as to verify and monitor its stability and success rate.

Step #3: Saving – Once we have recorded a stable script, we may want to save it for future runs and regressions.
