Selenium 2, webdriver for .net c#

Webdriver tests that are fast to write and fast to run are essential for BDD. I was really supprised at how fast your tests can actually run, even the setup is quick IE opens instantly, providing a very quick test code loop.

1. Download selenium 2 from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list i got selenium-dotnet-2.0a6.zip for this exmple

2. Add project references to nunit.framework, webdriver.common and webdriver.IE or webdriver.firefox

3. Using NUnit (No tutorial for that here, google it) create a test class that uses webdriver

using System;

using NUnit.Framework;

using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;

namespace AcceptanceTests

{

    [TestFixture]

    public class Class1

    {

        private InternetExplorerDriver _driver;

        [TestFixtureSetUp]

        public void FixtureSetUp()

        {

            _driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

            _driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30));

        }

        [TestFixtureTearDown]

        public void FixtureTearDown()

        {

            if (_driver != null) _driver.Close();

        }

        [Test]

        public void GoogleShouldBeInTheTitleWhenNavigatingToGoogleHomePage()

        {

            //Given

            _driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://google.co.uk");

            //When

            //Then

            Assert.AreEqual("Google", _driver.Title);

        }

    }

}

4. Run your tests
5. Done
