Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a web based Plugin tool that can be used to automate your test scripts for web testing. It is installed through the Firefox browser and once installed, it can be opened from the Tools menu (Tools -> Selenium IDE) or use shortcut ‘Ctrl+Alt+S’.

I would say it’s a very powerful tool to quickly showcase the automation value additions in your company. Selenium Automation is perfect for the beginners who want to get into the Automation and then gradually developing their skills with other full-fledged tools like Selenium WebDriver, HP QTP, Selenium Test Complete. Initially, It was designed for the Firefox browser only but now its test scripts can be executed in other browsers also which is a very important addition to this tool.
Let’s go through the different components and their functionality.
Base URL: It tells you about the website or web page you are going to test. It can be set to an absolute path and then add relative paths in your test scripts.
Toolbar gives various options to run test scripts. The Execution speed, Running entire test suite, Running current test case, Pause/Resume the execution, Step through a test case (one command at a time) for debugging, Rollup to group multiple repetitive test steps into one step.
Test Case Pane is used to view the test steps in the test script. Whether you are recording or writing your test steps in the ‘Command’, ‘Target’, or ‘Value’ fields, they will be displayed here in a sequential order.
Log presents the execution log along with the reasons for the failure of a test case.
Reference explains the different commands and their usage.
