Step 5 - Create a Workspace
Please follow below steps:

1. Create a ‘working directory’ for all of your projects.

*Note: Please make it sure to take backup of your work in MyDocument folder. Please check advise from
server tech support team regarding same:

Only data copied to your personal profile will “roam” with the user. Data stored in any other location
will only be accessible from the terminal server which you were on and it cannot ever guarantee what
system to which you will connect next time.

Page 11 of 40
 2. You may see the window like this, this is the Welcome window for Eclipse.

Step 6 - Create a new Project

In Eclipse, projects are the next-smallest functional unit after workspaces. You might have
only one workspace, you will usually have several projects inside one workspace.

1. Create new Java Project from File > New > Java Project.

2. Give your Project name ‘SeleniumProject‘ as shown in below given figures. Click on Finish
button.

Page 12 of 40
3. You may or may not see this message but if in case you get any, check Remember my
decision and click on Yes.

 Now your new created project ‘SeleniumProject‘ will display in eclipse project explorer.

Step 7 - Create a new Package

1. Select ‘SeleniumProject‘ and select File > New > Package.

2. Give your Package name ‘selenium‘ and click on Finish button.

Page 14 of 40
Now you can see a new package with name ‘selenium‘ under project name ‘SeleniumProject‘.

Step 7 - Create a new Class

Now that you have a project set up, you’re going to want start writing some new classes.

1. Right click on Package ‘selenium‘ and select New > Class.

2. Give your Class name ‘FirstTestCase‘, check the option ‘public static void main‘ and click on Finish
button. This will bring up totally a sweet class creation window.

Page 15 of 40
 Note: In case of not creating class for Main test case, please do not click ‘public static void main’. We
need to select it only in case of writing test cases which we are going to execute and from where we
call other classes. For functional classes, POM classes or any other classes we don’t need this to be
checked.
3. Now your Eclipse window will looks like below.

Page 20 of 40
5. Now you are ready to write your test script in eclipse and run it in WebDriver.

Page 21 of 40
Step 10 - Develop a sample script
Sample script is to do a google search to get more details on Selenium.

1. Install Selenium IDE from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/selenium-ide/

Click Add to Firefox.

If Selenium IDE icon is not displayed on the menu bar, open Firefox -> Tools menu, select Selenium
IDE and click on Customize

Now drag Selenium IDE from Additional Tools and Features window and drop it before Firebug icon
(last icon in below screenshot) in menu bar.

Page 22 of 40
Click on Exit Customize button at bottom of window

Page 23 of 40
Now Selenium IDE will be displayed in menu bar.

2. Using Selenium IDE

Open Firefox browser and type https://www.google.com in the address bar. Open Selenium IDE

recorder clicking on the .

Set the Base URL as https://www.google.com/ and click on Red circle to record. Select the empty area
under Command, Target, Value grid and start recording.

Page 24 of 40
Enter Selenium in search box and you will see commands getting recorded in IDE.

3. Using Java program

Capture the XPaths of different elements on which we have to perform automation.
Launch Firefox browser clicking on C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe and add Fire
Bug and FirePath Add-ons. These configurations are already done for SeleniumProject.

Page 25 of 40
  Search for Fire Bug in Add-ons Manager window and install it

 Similarly install FirePath searching FirePath in Add-ons Manager

Capture XPaths using FirePath
Open https://www.google.com/ in Firefox browser.

Page 26 of 40
Hover on the search box and right click. You will get an option to Inspect in FirePath. Capture the
xpath of search box and use for automation.

Now Inspect GoogleSearch button in FirePath.

XPath is listed in the text box next to Highlight in bottom section of screen.

Page 27 of 40
4. Using Java program
Capture the xpaths of required elements of web page and create a Java program to automate the
required scenario.
Go to Eclipse workspace and open the FirstTestCase class that we created in step 7.
For Firefox version <47,
Add following code in FirstTestCase between public class FirstTestCase {
}
Save file

private static WebDriver driver;

private static String baseUrl;
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//launch Firefox browser
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.out.println("Opened Firefox browser");
baseUrl = "https://www.google.com/";
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30,
TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//direct it to the Base URL

Page 28 of 40
 driver.get(baseUrl + "/?");
//open google.com
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).clear();
//search Selenium
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("Selenium");
System.out.println("Entered Selenium");
driver.findElement(By.name("btnG")).click();
System.out.println("Searched Selenium");
}
catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
//close browser
driver.close();
System.out.println("Closed Firefox browser");
}
}
Class should look like

For Firefox 47

driver = new FirefoxDriver();

should be replaced with

Page 29 of 40
String currentDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");

String marionetteDriverLocation = currentDir + "/wires.exe";

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", marionetteDriverLocation);

driver = new MarionetteDriver();

Step 11 - Execute a sample script

1. Using Selenium IDE
o Play the current test case selecting Actions -> Play current test case.

Page 30 of 40
o Export the test case as JUnit Test Case selecting File -> Export Test Case As -> Java /
JUnit4 / WebDriver. Save the file in C:\SeleniumWorkspace\SeleniumProject\src\
selenium.

Page 31 of 40
Refresh eclipse project and you should see GoogleSearch program

As we copied file from IDE, the package name is different and is displayed as an error in the 1 st line
of GoogleSearch program. Change package name as Selenium as Save.
