Installing selenium IDE
Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the basic selenium tool used for recording, editing and debugging test cases for your web application. It comes as a Firefox plugin and hence not available for other browsers.
Let us begin by installing the selenium IDE plugin for Firefox.
Start the Firefox browser. Head over to the Selenium HQ download page. Download the latest version 2.5.0. This will display the allow add-on to be installed pop up.
Proceed by allowing the plugin to be installed. The user will be prompted with the following window while beginning the installation process. Click on install to being the process.
Once the installation is completed user will be asked to restart the browser. Restart the browser to see the newly installed selenium IDE plugin.
The selenium IDE plugin can be either viewed from the Firefox navigation toolbar or from Firefox Tools menu.
The selenium IDE plugin gets launched.
Installing firebug
Firebug is a useful add-on that will help us in inspecting the HTML elements of the web application under test. These HTML elements or locator objects can then be manipulated by the selenium test cases.
For installing firebug head over to the Firebug download page.Select the ‘Add to Firefox’ option on the page.
Like before user will be prompted with the add-o installation pop up. Install the add-on.
The firebug add-on can be enabled by either selecting the firebug button on the Firefox navigation toolbar or by pressing F12. This will launch the firebug add-on.
We have successfully installed the selenium IDE and firebug plugins.
