I am using IBM RFT scripts for automation testing. I am facing one performance issue in chrome. while doing playback in google chrome it is taking 4 min per each click. i am new to this. can any one please help me.
It's been quite some time this question was asked, however with RFT 8.6.0.6 and Chrome 46 and above, this problem should not be seen.

I'd like to know if this is feasible: I'm doing manual testing on a website but I'd like to test the website on Chrome and Firefox at the same time, so is there a way to mimic my mouse clicks and keyboard input on from Chrome to Firefox using webdriver or any other technology?
Edit:
More info as asked in the comment.
I work as a tester, and I've written some E2E tests using webdriver.io and I know that I can run my test on multiple browsers concurrently using multiremote.
I have tried tests recorders too since a long time ago and didn't find much luck, and what I'm trying to do can be partially accomplished with some tests recording services, by recording the tests and then running them on multiple environments.
However what I'm trying to find is a way to read the actions of the user from one browser say Chrome, and apply them on another, so I imagine this will involve finding the selector and the action applied and applying them in the other browser.
I know I can write the tests or record them, but it was just an idea, and it would be great to have it for exploratory testing on multiple browsers at the same time, when I googled it all I got was writing scripts or recording, so I wanted to ask experienced people about their experience, and I think I could have posted this in https://sqa.stackexchange.com/ however it's more related to programming than to QA, so I needed programmers.
P.S: I'll try editing the question more to make it more readable. Thank you.
Does anyone have a code example for a Selenium test (or some other browser testing environment) on a Google Maps API V3 map? Specifically, I want to interact with the markers and popup windows.
Solved. Not 100% elegant but it works. Set optimized : false on the markers. This makes them all appear on the map (docs). Then set the XPath selector in the Selenium test to '//div[#class="gmnoprint" and #title], this will select all the markers. You can then interact with the markers.

It's been a long time since this question has been answered, but I think it's nice to post here another solution that offers other possibilities that didn't exist at the time, for people that are interested in that topic
You can use SikuliFirefoxDriver to automate Google Maps with WebDriver, with the image recognition tooling of hte great Sikuli software
I'm trying to get started with Selenium, but it's extremely confusing for anyone who still doesn't know the project.
If I go to the Selenium download page I get 7 download links for things with different names, and no description of what is each one. And then the Selenium 2 download link points to a page with another 8 files.
What does all of that mean? Which ones are deprecated? Which files should I get?
What are the differences between version 1 and 2? Is the version 1 deprecated, or do we still need to mix some modules from version 1 together with version 2?
And then, after searching on Google, I find Which Selenium Tool Should I Use?, but it's a very outdated page (last edited in 2007). It also talks about a limitation of the JavaScript testing interface: Same Origin Policy. Does this limitation still apply nowadays?
What are "Selenium Core", "Selenium Remote Control", "Selenium IDE"?
How about "Selenium (standalone) Server"? Is it the same thing as the Remote Control, or something different? What is the difference between Selenium Remote Control and Selenium Server?
And then I reach an official FAQ that is also confusing, and talks about a WebDriver thing that was going to be part of Selenium. Is it already inside Selenium? Is that FAQ up-to-date? How does it relate with other Selenium parts?
After all, another way to understand this question is: "I've never used Selenium before, I'm completely lost, and the documentation doesn't help." What I need is an introduction of what are all the parts of the project, which ones are old and deprecated, which ones are needed, which ones are interchangeable, which ones work with different browsers...
(maybe it would be a nice idea to have a community wiki answer that tries to be as accurate and detailed as possible)
I'm not much experienced with Selenium, but recently I have started it to automate form submissions while unit testing. For starters, try Selenium IDE. It is a Firefox addon which will help you to record actions and modify/replay them.
Actually more than that. You can perform Accessor operations, which will perfom a series of recorded/configured actions and will store the end results for us to analyze later.
And then there is Assertions, which will actually check the end state of a series of actions with some pre-configured conditions.
One thing I can say you is that Selenium is very handy and easy to learn. You can write your own test cases using plain html!
Here is a great beginner video - http://wiki.openqa.org/download/attachments/400/Selenium+IDE.swf?version=1
After seeing that, read through this tutorial - http://jroller.com/selenium/
And after that, read this reference - http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0/reference.html
It explains everything you need to know. If you are first to Selenium, you will be amazZzed to see what all things selenium can do.
My project is compatible only with Internet Explorer. I want the test scripts to get generated automatically as it is done in Selenium IDE.
Can i use Selenium RC to test my application? I could not use Selenium IDE as it can be used only with Mozilla Firefox.
seleniumrc works with IE. You can specify the browser and the path to it within the config file.
It can be easily integrated into night builds via ant.
stick to writing the testcase in java.
Selenium RC and Selenium Grid are both really good at running tests against IE. You can see all the browsers that are supported by Selenium here and Selenium is Designed to write for one browser and work in the rest. THere are a few little quirks that wont work in every browser but 99% of the time it will.
Selenium RC works with IE, but is very buggy with IE 6 (to the point of being unusable). Generating the scripts is not trivial and there are many methods of doing it. We have created a Firefox extension that examines objects via introspection to make click recording easy. There are many options out there but your best bet is to write your tests with Firefox/Firebug (or Chrome). They will make object location much simpler and if you are careful the locator strings should still work in IE.
There could be two answer to you question:
Besides Selenium, though it has ample of advantages, I am reading about another tool which uses same API which Selenium use. The only changes in API I have seen so far is it reduces the complexity of functions thus making it more easier and simpler for user who is learning.
The tool is called 'Helium' and it has 50% (and more) less complex functions and code as Selenium has.
The only problem with this tool is it is paid tool for learning purpose and for implementing not-so-big scale project you can use it. But yeah after some time its gonna cost you.
I have implemented some code on Helium. Please let me know , if you face any issue initially or you are thinking to implement it.
Other being, you can use Selenium Builder(http://khyatisehgal.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/selenium-builder-exporting-and-execution/) which is an advanced form of Selenium IDE. It imports your command in different languages and does work more effectively and efficiently as Selenium IDE does(http://khyatisehgal.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/selenium-builder/)
Please let me know , if you have any doubt in any of the tool.
I know Watin is compatible with IE and Firefox. If you want to generate the test code you can use the Watin Test Recorder
This of course is implying that you are using .Net
... Or you could just use the .net bindings that comes along with the latest couple of versions, then you can just run 'em through nUnit.
For ex. Selenium IDE users Katalon Recorder might be a good match. Supports different browsers.
Good morning
I have been running a few tests over the past couple of weeks and I have come up against a bit of a wall.
I am testing in IE 7 and 8 and firefox.
Basically my problem is that IE 8 does not yet support a plug in and firefox does not support a referer in a frameset, so basically I want to do is detect which browser I am using and then if its ie 7 run the tests, else skip certain tests, is this possible?
Thanking everyone in advance for their help.
Cheers
Cameron
I might be missing something (probably!) but if all you're trying to do is target tests to IE then would conditional comments work?
<!--[if ie 7]>
The tests go here.
<![endif]-->
Just a note for anyone else who reads this: the question is around using Selenium Core and the solution is designed to edit the HTML-based test suite file. If you're using Selenium RC, you obviously know which browser you launched :)
Hmmm one solution that came up in my mind... maybe it's a little bit odd, but I think it should work: let your Web app. read the HTTP UserAgent and save it as a hidden HTML input field. Then you can access it from your Selenium tests and decide whether you want to continue running them or not.
Maybe there's a better solution, I don't know.
