Abstract

Selenium is a very economic and effective tool for functional testing; all components of selenium have a number of limitations which restricts use of selenium as automation testing tool. Selenium automation does not support very basic features like file upload and download dialogs, executing test on modal dialogs .The file upload/download functionality is working fine in Selenium IDE during recording and replay, as it fires type event for entering file path recorded while recording but while executing tests with Selenium RC test execution is suspended when a file open/save dialog is opened. But when we want to run through selenium RC, it stops testing execution . For this limitation we had created some methods to support the file upload/download functionality. So that testing process continue .
