How do you go from manual test case to Selenium automated test?
Assume that you are the manual tester for Vancouver Public Library.
The site to be tested is https://www.vpl.ca.
For your testing, you created a regression testing suite that covers all pages and features of the website.
One of the most important pages of the site is the home page. This is where people come first to check information about the library and search for materials to rent, books, magazines, dvds or cds.
The most important test case for the home page is about the search feature.
It validates if the search feature works as expected so people can use it.
The manual test case for the search feature may be as follows:
- open the site in the browser
- search for keyword
- check that results are displayed
The test case is pretty simple, just 3 steps to follow to complete it.
If you want to automate this test case with an automation framework (such as Selenium WebDriver) and a programming language (such as Java), how do you do it?
Where do you start?
What are the steps to go through?
