A sequence of these commands is a test script. Here we explain those commands in detail, and we present the many choices you have in testing web applications when using Selenium.<\/p>\n<p>Selenium provides a rich set of commands for fully testing web-app in virtually any way you can imagine. The command set is often called <strong>selenese.<\/strong> These commands essentially create a testing language.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>selenese,<\/strong> one can test the existence of UI elements based on their HTML tags, test for specific content, test for broken links, input fields, selection list options, submitting forms, and table data among other things. In addition Selenium commands support testing of window size, mouse position, alerts, Ajax functionality, pop-up windows, event handling, and many other web-application features. The Command Reference lists all the available commands.<\/p>\n<p>A command tells Selenium what to do. It\u00a0come in three \u201cflavors\u201d: Actions, Accessors, and Assertions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Actions are commands that generally manipulate the state of the application. They do things like \u201cclick this link\u201d and \u201cselect that option\u201d. If an Action fails, or has an error, the execution of the current test is stopped. Many Actions can be called with the \u201cAndWait\u201d suffix, e.g. \u201cclickAndWait\u201d. This suffix tells Selenium that the action will cause the browser to make a call to the server, and that Selenium should wait for a new page to load.<\/li>\n<li>Accessors examine the state of the application and store the results in variables, e.g. \u201cstoreTitle\u201d. They are also used to automatically generate Assertions.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Assertions are like Accessors, but they verify that the state of the application conforms to what is expected. Examples include \u201cmake sure the page title is X\u201d and \u201cverify that this checkbox is checked\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"apply\">\n<div class=\"apply\">\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/practice\/selenium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93268 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Free-Practice-test.png\" alt=\"Selenium professional free practice test\" width=\"960\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Free-Practice-test.png 960w, https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Free-Practice-test-300x47.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/selenium-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Go back to Tutorial<\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/testing\/certified-selenium-professional\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Go to Home Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selenium IDE | Selenium Commands &#8211; Selenese Selenium commands for Selenium IDE, often called selenite, are the set of commands that run tests.
