The Selenium Guidebook
Dave Haeffner
Elemental Selenium
The book ‘The Selenium Guidebook‘ is not a full and comprehensive treatise that outlines every possible permutation of Selenium (the open-source software test automation tool for web applications). There are other books that already do this. Instead, the goal of the book is to teach you the necessary pieces to use Selenium successfully for your circumstance.
This eBook looks at chapters 1-6:
- Selenium fundamentals (what it is and is not good at)
- How to figure what to test with 4 simple questions
- How to pick the best programming language for you and your team
- All the programming concepts you need to know in order to use Selenium successfully
- The anatomy of a good acceptance test
- How to write your first Selenium test
