Selenium IDE | Running Test Cases

The Selenium IDE allows many options for running your test case. You can run a test case all at once, stop and start it, run it one line at a time, run a single command you are currently developing, and you can do a batch run of an entire test suite. The execution of test cases is very flexible in the IDE. It is important to run the cases you have build. Let’s learn how to do it. Follow the steps mentioned below:

• Run a Test Case: Click the Run button to run the currently displayed test case.
• Run a Test Suite: Click the Run All button to run all the test cases in the currently loaded test suite.
• Stop and Start: The Pause button can be used to stop the test case while it is running. The icon of this button then changes to indicate the Resume button. To continue click Resume.
• Stop in the Middle: You can set a breakpoint in the test case to cause it to stop on a particular command. This is useful for debugging test case. To set a breakpoint, select a command, right-click, and from the context menu select Toggle Breakpoint.
• Start from the Middle: You can tell the IDE to begin running from a specific command in the middle of the test case. This also is used for debugging. To set a start point, select a command, right-click, and from the context menu select Set/Clear Start Point.
• Run Any Single Command: Double-click any single command to run it by itself. This is useful when writing a single command. It lets you immediately test a command you are constructing when you are not sure if it is correct. You can double-click it to see if it runs correctly. This is also available from the context menu.
