Selenium IDE - A Mozilla firefox Add-ons

Given the topic, I feel a need to acknowledge that I have to thank adel shehadeh the owner of testSQUAD blog at http://www.testsquad.org for finding this software testing tools. The owner’s post (Selenium - a Mozilla firefox Add-ons at http://www.testsquad.org/2007/05/selenium-ide.html last May 02, 2007) influences my thinking to share more details about the topic.

Moreover, Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It was made by the folks over at http://OpenQA.org; it is implemented as a Firefox extension and a very easy to use and powerful tool for controlling, automating or testing web sites that allows you to record, edit, and debug tests; and it includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run.

The following are the features:

* Easy record and playback
* Intelligent field selection will use IDs, names, or XPath as needed
* Auto-complete for all common Selenium commands
* Walk through tests
* Debug and set breakpoints
* Save tests as HTML, Ruby scripts, or any other format
* Support for Selenium user-extensions.js file
* Option to automatically assert the title of every page

Further, some people say that Selenium IDE is awesome and a handy way to test web applications in Firefox. They recommended it.
