regular ways:->

or else small script that runs them automatically

import os

running time faster than before

second approach:->

from subprocess import Popen

You can see execution time is much much faster than earlier.

Download

http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar

start the selenium server.

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

browser = webdriver.Firefox() # Get local session of firefox
browser.get("http://www.yahoo.com") # Load page
assert "Yahoo!" in browser.title
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("p") # Find the query box
elem.send_keys("seleniumhq" + Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(0.2) # Let the page load, will be added to the API
try:
    browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'http://seleniumhq.org')]")
except NoSuchElementException:
    assert 0, "can't find seleniumhq"
browser.close()

As i have already explain in my previous post to setup Setuptools and Virtualenv on window machine in replacement of PIP.

Go to the ‘C:\Selenium\Python27\Scripts and install python client.

C:\Selenium\Python27\Scripts>easy_install -U selenium

You will see, it will read process,installed and finish processing.

Installation

download the latest version of Python visiting http://www.python.org/

Once installed, you must modify the PATH environment variable.

Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System. Under the Advanced tab, find the Environment Variables button. Under System Variables, find Path or PATH, click Edit and add this to your PATH (assuming that your Python installation is in C:\..\python27\)

make sure to add below path to the env variable.

;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages;C:\Python27\Scripts\

Next go to window terminal

c:\>python

you should get python version number details and your python is installed.

Setuptools and Virtualenv for python application development.

To install setuptools visit http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

(Download ez_setup.py for 64bits window machine )

go  to the Download path on window prompt and run:c:\..>ez_setup.py

For Virtualenv simply easy_install it with the following command

C:\..\Python27\Scripts>ez_setup.py

Eclipse plugin for Python:

URLs for Aptana Studio 3 (with PyDev preinstalled):

1. Download ANT 1.7.1 from ant.apache.org, unzip it to a directory
2. Make sure JAVA_HOME is set on your windows PC c:\>echo %JAVA_HOME%
3. Set ANT_HOME in windows environment variables
4. Set PATH for ANT, C:\ant.1.7.1\bin
5. Go to command prompt test your ant installation by typing c:\> ant

Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

this error is because , by default ant try to find a build.xml file in current working dir.

6. Create a build.xml and place it on current dir. and run ant again.
7. All set
8. try this ant -f build1.xml createTables_MySQL.

build.xml:->

BDD focuses on obtaining a clear understanding of desired software behavior through discussion with stakeholders. It extends TDD by writing test cases in a natural language that non-programmers can read.

Cucumber is a framework for writing and executing high level descriptions of your software’s functionality. Call these tests, examples, specifications, whatever… it doesn’t matter too much. The advantage of this is that these feature descriptions can be written and/or understood by non-technical people involved in the project.

Cucumber plays a central role in a development approach called Behaviour Driven Development (BDD).

More Details on Cucumber and how to use,integrate with Selenium, please go through the below link.

Selenium is an automation tool that can be used to test the functionality in a web based project, automation is an integral part of Agile based environment. Always keeps in mind our code should be robust and reusable so that other teams or developer can reused the automated script whenever they need it when there is a changes to the requirement.

Here is different opinion and comment regarding how selenium is implemented on Agile based environment.
