Getting Started with Selenium Grid

Running tests against the Grid

Now that we have set up the Grid with different instances, we should have a look at how we can write tests against these Remote Controls on the Grid. We can pass in the value of the target that we can see in the grid and then run the tests. So instead of passing in *firefox you can use "firefox on linux" and then run the tests as usual.

Let's see this in action.

Time for action – writing tests against the grid

• Create a new test file.
• Populate it with a test script that accesses an item on the grid and then works against http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk/. Your script should look similar to the following:
  1. import org.junit.*;
     
  2. import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
     
  3. 
     
  4. public class TestExamples2 {
     
  5. 
     
  6.    Selenium selenium;
     
  7. 
     
  8.    @Before
     
  9.    public void setUp(){
     
  10.      selenium = new DefaultSelenium("192.168.157.153",4444,
      
  11.       "Google Chrome on Linux",
      
  12.       "http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk");//
      
  13.      selenium.start();
      
  14. }
      
  15. 
      
  16. @After
      
  17. public void tearDown(){
      
  18.     selenium.stop();
      
  19. }
      
  20. 
      
  21. @Test
      
  22. public void ShouldRunTestsAgainstGoogleChromeOnLinux(){
      
  23.     selenium.open("/");
      
  24.     selenium.click("link=chapter2");
      
  25.   }
      
  26. }

What just happened?
We have just seen how we can write tests that can run against the Grid and then run them. When the tests are running the grid will show which Remote Control is currently in use and which grid items are currently free. We can see this in the following screenshot:

Summary

We learned a lot in this article about how to set up Selenium Grid and all the different arguments needed, as well as running our tests against the Grid.
Specifically, we covered:

• Starting Selenium Grid Hub: In this section we had a look at how we can start up Selenium Grid Hub that is the central point for Selenium Grid.
• Setting up Selenium Grid Remote Controls: We had a look at all the arguments that are needed to add a Remote Control to the Grid so that we can use it. This gives us a more manageable view of our grid so that we can work with it.

We also discussed how we can create tests that use the grid.

Selenium IDE  is a Firefox add-on that records clicks, typing, and other actions to make a test, which you can play back in the browser.

那是不是只能在FF上运行，其他浏览器呢？

这是指Selenium IDE，不是Selenium Grid

Selenium IDE是一个插件，而Selenium Grid是个测试工具，两者不要混淆了
