I intend to test the Web application with Selenium. I think for the moment to carry out a test with remote not Selenium IDE or carrying out a test on the same server with Selenium RC.

Therefore please teach a commentary site and a blog article to serve as a reference when I use Selenium IDE, Selenium RC.

Thanking you in advance.

There is a lot of documentation on the selenium website about how to use selenium. I tend to use the IDE client to record actions and then port the code for those actions into NUnit so I can run tests automatically on Selenium RC. You can port the code from Selenium IDE into a number of different languages for use on different testing frameworks. You can also manually run commands by directly typing them into the Selenium RC server.

There is a great guide here for learning how to use the IDE: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_selenium_ide.html

And a great guide for using the remote control over here: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html

It looks like they've recently updated the documentation on the Selenium website since last I've looked, so there is now a lot more information available.

Also, as a final note, I've used Selenium IDE to automate repetative tasks while that come up while testing during development. If you have any long forms your always filling out, make yourself a short test case you that fills out the form for you.

I actually discovered Selenium this way oddly enough. We use it properly for integration testing too of course, but it's a very handy tool for automation while developing as you discovered :)
