Getting Started With Selenium Automation Testing using LambdaTest

---

LambdaTest Selenium Automation Grid enables you to perform end-to-end automation tests on a secure, reliable, and scalable Selenium infrastructure. You can perform automated cross browser testing with Selenium scripts on 2000+ browsers and operating systems environments, giving you higher test coverage and at significantly less built times. LambdaTest will help you evaluate how well your web application renders when accessed through a variety of different browsers. You can perform automated cross-browser testing of your locally hosted web pages using LambdaTest Tunnel. You could also run a single test across multiple browser/OS configurations simultaneously. This post will help you to quickly get started with running your automation test scripts on LambdaTest Selenium automation grid.

Selenium Version Requirement

---

LambdaTest recommends you to always use the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver for your particular scripting language.

Default Selenium Version

---

LambdaTest Capabilities Generator will by default make use of latest compatible Selenium version based on the selections of browser/OS configurations. However, you are also allowed to test across other Selenium versions, in case if you want to run your automation script through a specific, legacy Selenium version. Below is the representation of the default Selenium versions used depending upon your browser selection.

Browser Name	Default Selenium Version
Microsoft Edge	2.52.0
Chrome	Latest Chromedriver
Firefox	Dev: 3.4.0 Beta: 3.4.0 53+: 3.4.0 39+: 2.53.1
Safari	11.0: 3.4.0 < 11.0: 2.48.0
Internet Explorer	2.53.1

Note:‘selenium_version’ is the desire capability responsible for selecting a Selenium version at LambdaTest. For instance,

Product Access

To run your Selenium tests on the LambdaTest requires a username and an access key. You can always get your username and access key from the Desired Capabilities Generator, as shown in the below image:

Starting With Automation Testing On LambdaTest

---

When you start with automation testing for the first time, we understand it might not be that easy to run your project in the first go (it might be due to an environment problem, project setup, or something else). But don’t worry! We got you covered.

We will help you get started with automation testing on LambdaTest in a flash speed. This document will provide a step by step guide to get started and run your first automation test. Let’s get you started.

When you open the Automation dashboard for the first time, you can see the two options to get started with automation testing on LambdaTest:

• Get started by running automation tests on your local machine
• Run your automation on Gitpod

Let’s see both of these features one by one.

Getting Started By Running Your Automation Tests On Gitpod

• You need to press the Run your test at the bottom to go on to the next step.
  
• Select the Local OS: Now the next step is to select the local machine OS on which you are expecting the tests to run.
  
• Install the necessary plugins and packages: Now go to the directory where the file is saved and open the command terminal. It will be showing something like this:
  cd /path/to/the/test/directory

  1	cd /path/to/the/test/directory

  You would also need the latest Selenium client and its WebDriver Bindings. Selenium can be downloaded using the code given below. You should always run the latest version of Selenium Client and WebDriver on LambdaTest Selenium cloud grid to avoid any errors.

  pip install pytest && pip install selenium>2.5

  1	pip install pytest && pip install selenium>2.5

• Run your test locally: Then you need to run the test file, using the below command:
  python lambdatest.py

  1	python lambdatest.py

That’s all. This will run your tests and you can see the output in your console.

4. Ruby

---

Similarly, if you choose Ruby as your preferred language to get started, the steps will remain the same as above Java language, except the internal code and syntax details. You will see a window like below to configure your test script and environment based on your choice.

So to run your Ruby test on the local machine:

• Verify your test script: To help you get started, we have already covered a test scenario which:
  – Open the LambdaTest Sample ToDo app
  – Check the first item in the list
  – Check the second item in the list
  – Add a new item to the list with custom text
  driver.navigate.to "https://lambdatest.github.io/sample-todo-app/" driver.find_element(:name, 'li1') driver.find_element(:name, 'li2') driver.find_element(:id, 'sampletodotext').send_keys("Yey, Let's add it to list") driver.find_element(:id, 'addbutton').click enteredText = driver.find_element(:xpath, '/html/body/div/div/div/ul/li[6]/span').text status = true if enteredText == "Yey, Let's add it to list"

  driver.navigate.to "https://lambdatest.github.io/sample-todo-app/" driver.find_element(:name, 'li1') driver.find_element(:name, 'li2') driver.find_element(:id, 'sampletodotext').send_keys("Yey, Let's add it to list") driver.find_element(:id, 'addbutton').click enteredText = driver.find_element(:xpath, '/html/body/div/div/div/ul/li[6]/span').text status = true if enteredText == "Yey, Let's add it to list"

• Select OS: Next you need to generate the desired capabilties. Select the desired operating system from the given list, on which you want to run your tests.

  

• Select Resolution: Select the desired resolution from the given list, on which you want to run your tests.
  
• Select Browser: Select the desired browser from the given list, on which you want to run your tests.
  
• Select Browser Version: Select the desired version of the browser from the given list, on which you want to run your tests.
  
• Save the code: Once the desired capabilities are set, copy the code from the editor and save them in your local Ruby project. Below is the complete code of the selected desired capabilities, as shown in the image.
