Selenium Grid & Jenkins Guide

This document discusses Selenium Grid and how it can be used with Jenkins to run automated UI tests across multiple browsers and environments in parallel. Selenium Grid allows distributing tests across a grid of remote control hubs and nodes to address limitations of a single remote control, like speed and number of concurrent tests. The Jenkins plugin for Selenium integrates a Selenium Grid into Jenkins automated test jobs so that grid nodes can be started and used to run tests as part of the build process. Examples are provided of setting up a grid hub, nodes, and designing tests to take advantage of the grid for parallel, distributed testing.

What is Selenium Grid

Usual Selenium Setup

Issues ?

RC (Remote Control) is quite slow.


Takes a lot of time to complete all your test
suits
Not suitable for large scale testing

Can run a limited number of concurrent


tests.

About six browsers On same RC

Work around ..

Work around

Multiple RCs to avoid the limitation on #


of parallel tests.

Issues:
Test needs to be aware of the RC being used.
Have to maintain a series of RCs.

Solution : Selenium Grid

All your components

All Can be in different machines..


All of them can communicate using selenese.

Selenium Grid

A Distributed grid of RCs.

Main two components


Grid Hub
Grid Nodes

Grid Hub
Allocates RCs for tests
Keeps an eye on test sessions
Entry point for all your tests
Load balances test requests to the RCs.

Grid Node
It is configured and started using a command.
Provide all your capabilities in the command.

browserType
Version
Platform i.e. Windows,linux,CentOS
applicationName a specific name for your
node.

Grid Node

Capabilities are the unique attributes for


a node.
Selenium Grid code uses
DesiredCapabilities

This capability object is passed into


RemoteWebDriver instance

Selenium Grid Console

It shows you all the connected grid


clients(nodes)

More features

Supports parallel execution


We need to write our test to execute in
parallel.
Use Junit4 ParallelComputer features.

Features..

Supports Selenium WebDriver / Remote


WebDriver

Grid 2.0 is the latest, more features with it.

Easy to start the Grid Hub as well as the node.

Why we thought of Using


Selenium

Our product has a GWT (Google web tool


kit) based front end.
Complex user scenarios involved.

Big , distributed team working on


features.

Usual scrum team, a single tester

No enough time to do end end UI tests.

Why we thought of Selenium


Grid

Different platforms to support


Windows/IE9
XP/IE8
CentOS/FF
64 bit/ 32 bit machine combinations.

Limited time and Need to execute all in one


shot.
Grid allows multiple environments and
parallel executions.

Selenium Grid in Jenkins

Jenkins is a CI server.

Why Jenkins ?

Our code base is huge.


Needs to ensure clean builds.
It has lot of plugins.
Its free and open

Jenkins has a plug-in for selenium grid

Easy installation.
Selenium grid is executed within the Jenkins server.
You can start grid node by pointing to this grid url.
With your desired capabilities.
