Selenium: Can I combine several commands into one command to be referenced by other tests without coding

Question

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating Selenium and it seems I'll have to perform certain steps in my tests over and over again. Is there any way to wrap several steps from a selenium test into one single step which can be referenced by other tests?

It seems that this can be done with with custom coding as mentioned at in the UI-Element documentation, but I'd prefer to use the IDE if possible.

Thanks,

Adrian

Answer 1

The only way to do this is to use Rollups (as mentioned in the UI-Element documentation) to combine several commands into a single command. Once rollups are written you can use them in Selenium IDE.

Actually there is a way. I added it to my blog article comparing Selenium to Coded UI
