Overview of this book

Selenium WebDriver is a global leader in automated web testing. It empowers users to perform complex testing scenarios with its simple and powerful interface. This guide will provide you with all the skills you need to successfully create a functional Selenium test suite. Starting from the very beginning of the Selenium IDE, this book will show you how to transition into a real programing language such as Ruby or Java. You will quickly learn how to improve your code quality with refactoring and the skills needed to plan for the future development of your website to future-proof your test suite. With ample test examples running against a life-like e-commerce store and detailed step-by-step code review and explanations, you will be ready to test any challenge web developers might throw your way. This book is intended for anyone who wants to create a test suite that is easy to maintain by expanding your knowledge until you feel truly confident and comfortable with Selenium.

Test data is a crucial part of automated tests; the old truism garbage in, garbage out applies especially well in this case. Tests will feed some data into our Turing machine and compare the output with the expectations. In a manner of speaking, a perfect test is a little insane; it will keep doing the same things over and over while expecting a different result.

As automated test developers, our goal is to make the tests fulfill their destiny of endlessly repeating identical steps, forever. The only way to accomplish this goal is to have as much control as possible over every single piece of data our application consumes. Test data is not just the text our test will type into the purchase form; test data is the complete state of the whole environment we are testing.
