Customer was facing challenges with manual Web UI testing. This process was time-consuming, prone to human error, and limited the effectiveness of bug reporting. The client sought a solution to improve efficiency and accuracy in their testing process.

Benison implemented a Selenium-based framework to automate Web UI testing. Selenium is a popular open-source tool that allows developers to control web browsers through scripts.

Here’s how the solution worked:

• Emulating User Actions: Selenium commands were used to simulate user interactions with the web application. These commands identified web elements (like buttons, text fields) and then performed actions on them (like clicking, typing).
• Automated End-to-End Tests: The developed scripts acted as automated testers, navigating through the entire web application. This ensured comprehensive testing of various functionalities.
• Cross-Platform and Browser Compatibility: The tests could be executed on different platforms (operating systems) and browsers simultaneously. This identified potential issues related to browser or platform discrepancies.

• Increased Efficiency: Automating tests significantly reduced the time required for manual testing, freeing up resources for other tasks.
• Improved Bug Reporting: By automating repetitive tasks, testers could focus on identifying and reporting critical bugs.
• Reduced Errors: Automated tests ensured consistency and minimized the risk of errors introduced during manual testing.
• Enhanced Cross-Compatibility: Testing across multiple platforms and browsers helped identify and address compatibility issues early in the development process.
• Verification of User Experience: Scripts could be designed to verify navigation flow, screen layout, and theme consistency, ensuring a smooth user experience.

The Selenium-based Web UI automation framework implemented by Benison proved to be a successful solution. It streamlined the testing process, improved efficiency and accuracy, and ensured comprehensive testing across platforms and browsers. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of Selenium for automating Web UI testing and the associated benefits for businesses.
