Daily Verification with Selenium

Instructions: Daily Verification HAL Booking only.pdf

Resources: daily-automation.zip

Maurice, here are the files you need to run the Daily Verification test for HAL to get your daily booking.  If the OLCI or Secondary fails, don’t worry about it.  You only need the booking number, right?  I will fix anything else that goes wrong when I get back.

If you run into trouble, you can consult with Manuel, as he has trained a little bit on this.  I have attached the document he put together for himself for running Parts 1 and 2.

You will need to install Firefox add-ons Selenium IDE, File Logging (Selenium IDE) and ScreenShot on Error (Selenium IDE).  They can all be found by clicking on Add-ons in the Firefox hamburger menu.  You may have to search for them.

Selenium for browser based playback

Selenium automates browsers. That's it. What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.

Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors who have taken (or are taking) steps to make Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core technology in countless other browser automation tools, APIs and frameworks.
