I have a case in our website than when you click on Email to Friend its then the desktop outlook application open the email template and i have to check the predefined content in this email, so how i can check the email content in selenium webdriver?
The same case when i do share from the web on Telegram application.
Usually, I don't automate such cases since automated tests are more about regression testing. You need to evaluate how often this functionality will change. If it is once a year, it doesn't make sense to automate it just for the sake of automating it.
You can read more about ROI of automated tests:
(a) Automated test script development time = (Hourly automation time per test * Number of automated test cases) / 8
(b) Automated test script execution time = (Automated test execution time per test * Number of automated test cases*Period of ROI) / 18
(c)Automated test analysis time = (Test Analysis time * Period of ROI) / 8
(d) Automated test maintenance time = (Maintenance time * Period of ROI) / 8
(e) Manual Execution Time = (Manual test execution time * Number of manual test cases * Period of ROI) / 8
You can find more in this article that I found on Google- https://dzone.com/articles/how-to-calculate-roi-for-test-automation
I had a similar situation but I was interacting with MS-Excel in my case.
I would suggest you use AutoIT and Sikuli to automate non-browser functionality in conjunction with Selenium.
Note:
By importing the autoitx4java and Sikuli jar files in eclipse project you can use them along with selenium code.
Below mentioned urls should help you get started with AutoIT and Sikuli.

My requirement is to test when four to six different users accessing the web application from different locations and doing the same functionality at the same time.In such scenario which testing tool i should use?To perform such testing can i use selenium webdriver using testNG(session handling)?For example if 6-10 users are creating gmail account from different locations at the same time(complete the functionality of account creation),then i want to see the performance of the web application wheather it has been performed smoothly without any delay or hiccups .
Selenium WebDriver with TestNG, you can write automated tests to simulate your scenario
JMeter or LoadRunner can provide metrics such as response times and resource utilization.
Is there a tool that can record user interactions with DOM elements for usage in creating automated tests (I'm using Codeception and Laravel Dusk but any tool with roots in Selenium is fine). I'm looking for something to record a sequence and get back a list that might include:
Browser navigate to /contact
Focus input "#name"
Enter text "Joe" in input #name
Focus textarea textarea[name=message]
Enter text "Hello world" in textarea textarea[name=message]
Click element input[type=submit]
Browser navigate to /contact?thanks
I see GhostInspector but that is tied directly into a cloud based company and I don't want that, I'd like some degree of control over what the plugin does and be able to record pages not on the public web.
I can see building a tool that recorded every action is non-trivial - mousemove events, focus, text selection, keyboard events, scroll events, etc. Ideally I can say "listen to every focus, click, and keyup event on an input or textarea or button or select or option" and also watch for url changes.
Does such a tool exist? Doesn't matter what browser stack it runs on really, just need the ability for a user, maybe a novice user, to go to a website, hit record, do some actions, and get back a list of what occurred.
The instantaneous downvotes that contend my question is "not about programming" prompt me to improve my question. I don't presume the nature of the tool - it might be programming methods? Ways to use the browser to listen for all events and log them in some manner? Might be a Chrome extension? Might be a framework? Might be a library? I'm looking for the experience of programmers to help me with the programming task I'm trying to accomplish.
Have you tried using the Chrome extension Laravel TestTools?

Katalon Recorder (Selenium IDE for FF55+)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/katalon-automation-record/
The straight answer to your question is: Yes there are a number of tools available that are on top of Selenium. I will briefly discuss the top ones that also support browser extensions
1. New Selenium ID(Open Source)- Selenium is possibly the most popular open-source test automation framework for Web applications. The new Selenium IDE is designed to record your interactions with websites to help you generate and maintain site automation, tests, and remove the need to manually step through repetitive takes.
Features:
Recording and playing back tests on Firefox and Chrome.
Organizing tests into suites for easy management.
Saving and loading scripts, for later playback.
Selenium has become a core framework for other open-source test automation tools such as Katalon Studio, Watir, Protractor, and Robot Framework.
FireFox Extension
Chrome Extension
2. Kantu(Open-source)- It is a record & replay tool for automated testing, web automation, automating file uploads and autofill form filling. The visual UI testing commands of Kantu help web designers and developers to verify and validate the layout of websites (and canvas elements).
Features:
Kantu provides with built-in flow control commands like if/else/endif, while/endWhile or GotoIf
FireFox Extension
Chrome Extension
3. Katalon Automation Recorder- Katalon have Katalon Studio which is a completely free desktop application. Recently they launched new Selenium IDE that helps you record actions, capture web elements on web applications, play automated test cases, and do reporting quickly and easily.This Extension was the champion project of Katalon Studio Hackathons contest.
Features:
Record, play, debug with speed control, pause/resume, breakpoints capabilities.
Enjoy fastest execution speed compared to other extensions with Selenium 3 core engine.
Import test data from CSV files for data-driven testing.
Report easily with logs, screenshots capturing, with historical data and analytics from Katalon Analytics.
FireFox Extension
Chrome Extension

I have a web application running on tomcat.My application has no GUI.It processes files on some locations and persists values into the database and produce some output files on some locations.
I need to Automate testing of this application using selenium.This includes file creations, file movements between folders..etc.
My question is
1.Is it possible to automate this non-GUI application using selenium?How?
2.Is it possible to include these file creations, movements and DB values checking using selenium web driver
If you look at the Home Page of Selenium it is clearly mentioned that :
Selenium is the most widely-used open source solution in building Test Automation for Web Applications. The suite of tools provided by Selenium results in a rich set of testing functions specifically catering to the needs of testing of web applications of all types. These operations are flexible and allows many options for locating UI elements and comparing expected test results against actual application behavior.
As your Automation Testing requirement is :
File Creation
File Movements between folders
It seems Selenium may not be the appropiate tool.
A framework built through Perl or Python may better cater to your requirement.
Selenium is created to automate test on UI. You can use on Page Object Model or directly on findelement(or findelements) but you have to give a locator attribute which it can be according to selenium documentation:
id
name
xpath
link_text
partial_link_text
tag_name
class_name
css_selector
So if you have these locators yes, but if you don't, Selenium is not suiting for this task. Maybe you looking for an API tester, Unit tester or what are you trying to accomplish?
I would like to know the difference between end-to-end and website test in java web application,If we are testing the features of an website then it could be stated as end-to-end test right?
My second question is if i want to do end-to-end test which the best tool ?
selenium or cucumber ?
I am not able to conclude my self which tool to use.My requirement is as follows
1)Test webapplication automatically by giving the required fields,and also it should interact with my service and database for retrieving information in my UI.
Please help me.I am sorry if its a stupid question !!!
Answering all of your questions one by one :
End-To-End Testing : End-to-End Testing is a testing methodology which is used to validate whether the flow of an application is performing as designed from start to finish.
Website Testing : Web Testing is the name given to the software testing methodology that focuses on web applications. Website Testing can be catagorized as Basic Functionality Testing of the site, Security Aspects of the Web Application, Accessibility to intended users and Performance Aspects as well.
Best Automation Tool for End-To-End Testing : Each and every automation tool have its advantages and disadvantages. Selenium-Cucumber is one of the widely used combination for Behavior Driven Development (BDD). But as a pure End-To-End Automation candidate Protractor is widely used.
Overall using Selenium you can perform Web Application Testing by giving the required fields and also interact with the services and data retrieved from database on your UI.
You're quesiton will probably be removed from here since it doesn't fit the standards stack overflow requires but here's an answer in case it sticks around.
End to end testing concerns program flow from start to finish. If you have a system that is solely a website then they could be considered equivalent. If your project has a website and runs batch processes in the background, sends emails, etc. based on data entered into the website or actions users of the site take, then they're not really equivalent because testing your website isn't going to test that the mail server is configured properly or that your nightly batch runs properly.
There is no single tool to handle end to end testing. At best you'll have an amalgamation of various tools to handle testing but more than likely there will be some manual testing involved - it's all going to depend on your application.
You could for example: script selenium to enter orders into a site, then have a scheduled console application run overnight that verifies the end of day accounting handles the orders properly, you would manually check outlook to verify you received your order confirmation, and then come up with a way to verify the orders get sent to the fulfillment system.
As you can see by the example for that use case you're unlikely to find a general purpose tool that can handle all of that out of the box.
Dear Selenium IDE Friends.
I test my webapplication via Firefox-Plugin Selenium IDE. I have to test: sending a newsletter and verify the newsletter-text. Selenium IDE cant´t break out of the browser to move to my outlook, so i have to use a webmailer. Some webmailer like 1und1 or freenet have frames in the layout. Selenium IDE doesn´t select elements in frames, even not by function "selectFrame".
MY Question: Which Webmailer has no frames and supports testing with Selenium IDE?
Best option: Let your developers build you some in-house web mail suitable for such testing.
If thats not an option, try 10minutemail
You get new inbox every time (new e-mail address)
No frames
Selenium IDE should be able to read it
Of course. As long as you are about to use 3rd party app for your testing, consider donating some money to them ;)
