Selenium IDE Recipe-RollUp Rules

RollUp rules are nothing but set of commands which are used to reduces repeatation of few set of commands.

For Eg: -

There are 2  testcases : -

1. Login to IRCTC and Check seat availability and Logout
2. Login to IRCTC and Check refund status of cancelled ticket and Logout

In the above two testcases, "LOGIN TO IRCTC" is common which is a combination of following steps : -

-Navigate to IRCTC url
-Type Login user name
-Type Login password
-Hit Login

Hence this set of teststeps/commands can ben grouped in to a single rollup rule.


Lets Start The Recipe

Here i have recorded the whole script of logging into to irctc and logging out of irctc.it looks something like below : -





 Now Till the 4th command i.e clickAndWait,a roll up can be formed.




 In order to form a rollup we have to import an userextension file which is available for download here.

Now once it has been downloaded we have edit the file to put command.I have did the same job and you can see the modified version of it here : -
 
 Now  Once it has been created, you can import it into IDE from Options>Options > Selenium Core Extensions

Now lets look at out modified IDE script below : -




 Again, If we want to explore what commands it has, We can highlight the rollup command and look at rollup tab.
