Full summary

The new Selenium IDE is designed to record your interactions with websites to help you generate and maintain site automation, tests, and remove the need to manually step through repetitive takes. Features include:

  • Recording and playing back tests on Firefox and Chrome.
  • Organizing tests into suites for easy management.
  • Saving and loading scripts, for later playback.
  • Support for Selenium 3.

Selenium Page Object Generator is an essential tool to improve your workflow. It will generate Page Object Model on active Chrome tab with a single click, provided that all the options and template are configured. The generated Page Object Model will be saved to pre-configured Chrome download folder. It strives to reduce manual involvement, but manual tweak still recommended.

The template is using Handlebars.js expression, a clean logic-less semantic templating language.

This is an early BETA release, it expected to have rough edges, and limited functionality. It currently support 3 different targets: Java, C#, and Robot Framework.
