I'm still exploring using Selenium with page objects. For webelements that have an id or name tag it is easy to define the locators, but I'm having some problems creating a locator for some links. The xpath reference to the link, nicely supplied by FirePath, results in a "Unable to locate element". The link I'm trying to locate is in the format:
<a href="xxx/yyy/" title="yyy">yyy</a>
I'll just keep trying to find how to locate it. Next to that I'm going to start working on FitNesse.
Recently a collegue, Daniël Gollings, showed me Selenium. As an enthusiastic about test automation I was interested directly. So I started to follow the step-by-step tutorial he made. I downloaded all the needed compenents and started with Selenium IDE. Since I have a background in programming, I quicly switched to Selenium RC to be able to apply better control of the automation. The ease of setting up tests amazed me.
Recent conversations with Roy de Kleijn and Martijn de Vrieze, reignited the Selenium-fire. After following a webinar about page objects, I understand the concept. Now only experience can help me with applying the concept. Hopefully I can use my knowledge in a couple of assignments and broaden my knowledge.
