Selenium Tester Job Responsibilities
Job Responsibilities may vary from one company to another and one project to another, but I am covering this topic by considering several companies approaches.
Selenium Knowledge for Fresher or below 1 Year Experienced
• Basic Understanding of Functional and Regression Test Automation.
• Good knowledge on Selenium suite of Tools (Selenium IDE, Selenium RC, Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid).
• Knowledge of Java Programming (Data Types, Variables, Operators, Flow Control Statements, Methods (Built-in as well as User defined), Exception handling, File Handling, Excel file Operations, Database Operations and OOPS concepts).
• Good knowledge on Element Locators, Selenese Commands, WebDriver methods.
• Idea on Test Automation Framework implementation
• Ability to create and execute Test cases using Selenium IDE and Selenium Webdriver.
I) 1+ Years Experience in Test Automation using Selenium
• Understanding Test Requirements and analyzing the Application under Test(AUT).
• Generating Test Cases (Test Scripts) using Selenium Element locators and WebDriver Methods.
• Enhancing Test cases using Java programming.
• Debugging Test Cases and Fixing errors.
• Executing/Running Test Cases
• Defect Reporting & Tracking
• Test Reporting
--------------------------------------------------
II) 2+ years of Experience in Test Automation using Selenium
• Creating Test Automation Resources (Function Libraries etc...).
• Handling duplicate objects and dynamic objects using index property and Regular expressions.
• Collecting Test Data for Data Driven Testing.
• Creating Test Cases (Test Scripts) using Selenium Webdriver, Java and TestNG Annotations.
• Parameterization, Synchronization and define Test results.
• Debugging and Running Tests
• Analyzing Test Results
• Defect Reporting and Tracking using any Defect Management Tool.
• Test Reporting
• Modifying Tests and performing Re & Regression Testing.
--------------------------------------------------
III) 3+ years of Experience in Test Automation using Selenium
• Understanding and Analyzing the Application Under Test in terms of Object Identification.
• Creating Test scenarios and Collecting Test Data.
• Identifying end to end scenarios and code modularity.
• Implementing JUnit or TestNG Test Automation framework and developing automation infrastructure.
• Creating reusable components.
• Creating and enhancing Test Cases (Test Scripts) using Element locators, WebDriver methods, Java programming concepts and TestNG Annotations.
• Error Handling, Adding comments.
• Creating Data driven Tests and Running through framework.
• Cross Browser Testing (Executing test cases against various browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google chrome, IE and Safari etc...).
• Parallel Test Execution.
• Defining and exporting Test Results.
• Analyzing Test Results and Reporting Defects.
• Tracking Defects and Select Test cases for Re & Regression Testing.
• Modifying Test Automation Resources and Maintenance of Resources.
--------------------------------------------------
IV) 4+ years of Experience in Test Automation using Selenium
• Selecting or Identifying areas/test cases for Automation.
• Designing & Implementing Test Automation Strategy.
• Creating Automation Test Plan and getting approvals.
• Choose selenium tools and Configuring Selenium Test Environment (Ex: Eclipse IDE, Java, Selenium WebDriver and TestNG etc...).
• Creating, Organizing, and managing Test Automation Resources.
• Creating, Enhancing, debugging and Running Test Cases.
• Organizing, monitoring defect management process.
• Handling changes and conducting Regression Testing.
• Finding solutions for Object Identification issues and error handling issues.
• Co-coordinating Test team members and Development team in order to resolve the issues.
• Interacting with client side people to solve issues and update status.
--------------------------------------------------
Focus on:
> Test Automation Life Cycle.
> Verify Web Elements(Objects) using Firebug and Firepath Plug ins in Mozilla Firefox browser, if it IE or Google Chrome use built-in developer tools(Shortcut key F12).
> Create Test Cases using Element locators and Selenium WebDriver Methods.
> Enhance Test cases using Java Programming and JUnit / TestNG Annotations.
