Installing the Product

1. Unpack the tarball in a temporary location.
2. Copy or move the Zelenium directory to the Products directory of your INSTANCE_HOME.
3. Restart Zope.

Using Zelenium

You can add a Zuite object at any location within your Zope site. It behaves as a standard ordered folder, with a couple of differences:

• It's index_html is the "TestRunner.html" view familiar from Selenium.
• It derives the test suite (in the upper left corner iframe) from all OFS.Image.File objects whose names start with test. You can use the OrderedFolder support to modify the order in which the test case files are run.
• It provides a "Zip" action, which allows you to export the test suite, all test cases, and the supporting Selenium Javascript / CSS files as a single, self-contained zipfile.

Adding Tests

Tests are just File instances whose names begin with test. They should have a content type of text/html, and should contain a table which defines the steps which make up the test case.

See http://selenium.thoughtworks.com/testrunner.html for documentation on the table structure and the Selenese language.

Exporting an Archive

On the "Zip" tab, supply a filename and click the "Download" button. The Zuite object will construct a zip file with the following contents:

index.html

the "TestRunner.html" framework page

TestSuite.html

the list of test case files (rendered as static HTML)

'test*"

your test case files (appending .html if the IDs do not have extensions)

Each of the supporting .js and .css files which drive the browserbot.

Creating a Snapshot

On the "Zip" tab, supply a filename and click the "Download" button. The Zuite object will construct a zip file with the same contents described above, and then save it as a File object in its own contents.

Generating Testcases using tcpwatch

1. Download the tcpwatch product from Shane Hathaway's site
2. Unpack and run tcpwatch in its "HTTP proxy" mode, with recoring turned on. E.g., the following command runs the proxy on port 9999, recording the request / response data to the directory '/tmp/recorded_scenario':

         $ python /path/to/tcpwatch/ tcpwatch.py \
             -p 9999 -r /tmp/recorded_scenario 
   

3. Configure your browser to use an HTTP proxy on localhost, port 9999.
4. Click through your site, exercising the features you are testing.
5. Stop the proxy. Run the generator.py script, pointing to the directory where tcpwatch was recording:

         $ python /path/to/Zelenium/generator.py \
            --logfile-directory=/tmp/recorded_scenario \
            --output-file=test_case_name.html
   

6. Edit the generated test case, removing / correcting the various steps.
7. Upload the test case to a Zelenium Zuite and run it.
