User Guide – Test Results (Selenium IDE)

My Test Results plugin for Selenium IDE is a plugin to save the results of any test execution for a test suite and its included test cases in a single click. It also allows you to export the test results for a single test case if desired.

This user guide is for version 2.0 of the Test Results plugin.

When start Selenium IDE you should find two new menu items viz., the Export test suite results… menu item and the Export test case results… menu item in the File menu of Selenium IDE.

Here is how it looks on a Mac OSX:

TestResultMenus

 

Exporting the results of a Test Suite

Play the test suite in Selenium IDE. Then select the Export test suite results… menu item from the File menu of the Selenium IDE. Specify a folder and file name of the results file in the Export test suite results dialog and click the Save button.

Exporting the results of a single Test Case

Run the test case or the test suite that the test case is a part of. Click on the test case you want to export the results of in the test case pane in Selenium IDE to select it. Then select the Export test case results… menu item from the File menu of the Selenium IDE. Specify a folder and file name of the results file in the Export test case results dialog and click on the Save button.

Don’t forget to Save the Test Case / Suite

Don’t forget to save the test cases as you usually do. The test results are not supposed to replace your saved test cases and trying to open them in Selenium IDE may have unexpected effects.

Using Test Results with other user extensions and plugins

Please keep in mind that when saving the test results of test cases that use extensions or plugins that do smart stuff may not always work as expected. It is simply not possible for me to add support for all wonderful plugins available out there.
