Selenium IDE is very useful and flexible when the tester writes test case automation scripts. The Selenium IDE’s record function is a more important feature in this tool. It allows the developer or tester to record the business processes that need to be tested and save the user’s actions into a script during the test. Thus the script can fully simulate the manual testing process when it runs.
In addition, it also provides a verification interface, which is convenient for testers to verify whether the expected value of the test is consistent with the actual value. This article will tell you how to install Selenium IDE in both Firefox and Google Chrome.
