Repeating a test in Selenium IDE

markst33

Hi there, I use Selenium IDE plug in got FF in work and I am self taught. Does anyone know if it is possible to "loop back" and repeat a test case and increase a variable by 1.

For example I use it to register test accounts and at the moment if I want to create 20 new users I have to run it and then increase my test username eg from test101 to test 102 and run it again.

is it possible to set it up to loop through 20 time each time increasing the username variable by +1 or something similar.

Cheers,

Mark.

I don't think that is possible with the IDE, there are plugins that will do this but I've never used them.

Easiest would be to implement the tests in PHP, Ruby, Python, C#, Java, etc and run them against a local standalone selenium server. I use Java with TestNG and it is very straight forward to get up and running. You could use a DataProvider for setting up your test users.

here is a simple loop in selenium IDE

<tr>
<td>store</td>
<td>0</td>
<td>index</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>while</td>
<td>index <20</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>index</td>
<td>value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>${value}</td>
<td></td>
</tr><tr>
<td>getEval</td>
<td>index++;</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>endWhile</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
