Selenium IDE test script is a collection of Selenese commands. Selenium IDE tool records the Selenese test commands on behalf of the tester. Testing team can record repetitive tests using this tool and later playback to test the application.

Selenese Commands

Selenese Commands Selenium IDE

 

Command is the name of the command and refers to the action that Selenium has to perform. For example, type to type text into a text box HTML element, click to click a HTML button, etc.

Target is the web element locator. This helps to identify the web element/ elements on the HTML page. There are many locating strategies. For example, using attributes like id, name or using DOM based locating methods like XPath, CSS, etc.

Value is the data parameter for the command. This is an optional parameter.
