  3. Installation of SIDE • Point browser at Selenium IDE installation page on OpenQA web site. • Select the download link for 1.0 Beta 1. • If nothing happens, then select the Edit Options button just above the page.

  6. Example: Link-Checking • Point Firefox browser at SUT, De Anza A-Z Directory. • Select File=>New Test Case. • Click on the red Record button to start recording if needed (it is already on by default when Selenium IDE is first brought up).

  7. Example: Link-Checking • Click on browser window to give it focus. • Click on letter T from alphabetical horizontal navigation bar. • Select Technical Writing link, and wait for new page to load.

  9. Example: Link-Checking • Repeat the last four steps for the Transcripts link. • Click the red Record button to stop recording. • At this point, all of the user actions except the clicks on the Back button have recorded. To take care of these clicks, we will add calls to the goBackAndWait function.
