Of course this works fine, but only if the subject of is not changed. It is available in WebElements property “Text”: Dim Expected As String = " | Tips for vb.net,…" Assert.AreEqual(Expected, FirstResult.Text, "Subject is not correct")
New we now have a handle to the first link in the Resultlist. html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/ul/li/div/div/div/h3/a Using XPath this is rather easy (If you are not familiar with Xpath you might start with the Wikipedia Article). So the better approach would be to start at list “sb_results” instead of the beginning of the document.

Having a closer look at the source code shows that Bing returns the search result in an unordered list of class “sb_results”. Anyway, it would be fine if you use this command: FirstResult = GetWebElement(driver, By.XPath("/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/ul/li/div/div/div/h3/a"), 10)īut let’s try to make it work regardless of their ads. See the difference? So using the proposed XPath might work now but will fail if Microsoft starts displaying ads for the search term. html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/ul/li/div/div/div/h3/a.
For example when we use Bing to search for “Microsoft” we will get this XPath: So we get the web element as usual but we will see that the XPath depends on whether Bing e.g. So get a reference to it as already described above using Firebugs “Inspect” icon and get the XPath for the first link. So got to, enter “” and start the search.įor the test we want to check the first result returned by Bing. Now we do the same manually in our Firefox instance. So after calling one of these 2 methods Bing should display a result page. So we click again the “Inspect” button in Firebug (as described above) and get the XPath for the button: SearchButton = GetWebElement(driver, By.Id("sb_form_go"), 10) SearchButton.Click() Or we could grab the “Search”-Button and click it. press enter: SearchBox.SendKeys(Keys.Enter) Now we want to enter some text: SearchBox.SendKeys("") Start the searchĪs the text is inserted we now want to start the search. First we need to get a handle to it: Dim SearchBox As IWebElement SearchBox = GetWebElement(driver, By.Id("sb_form_q"), 10) Now we need to click in this field from Selenium. Now the following value is copied: So in current case we got an ID, in other cases you get an Xpath like this: /html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/div/div/div/form/divīoth is fine, but if you have an ID I’d prefer to use the ID rather than the XPath because XPath changes if the design of the page changes but ID will still be the same until the field is renamed (which might appear only in rare cases). On the right-click menu select “Copy XPath”. In the second line of Firebug use your right mouse-button and click on the leftmost element, in current case it’s “input#sb….sq_qbox” (when you move the mouse on the items you might notice that Firebug marks there position within the web page).
The corresponding HTML-Code is now marked in Firebug. Click on Firebugs “Inspect”-Icon and select the Searchbox. Therefore we start Firefox and manually go to “ ” and inspect the homepage within firebug. So we need to find out details about the searchbox. Now we want to enter “” into the searchbox. The first step is then to navigate to so first line of code is: (HomePageURL) Enter search text into textbox You could watch a video about the final result on Youtube at : Of course you could write the texts also without these tools but you will see that they will help you a lot, so I recommend to use them. Start search by pressing ENTER or clicking the Search-Button.So we have to write a webtest with these steps: We will write a test to check whether a link to our current domain is returned as first result from bing when we search for “”. We will do a rather simple test but it covers several aspects of web testing. Now it’s time to write our first unit test in Visual Studio using Visual and Selenium. So we have set up Selenium (as described here) and followed some general tips (as described here). (The code in this example is Visual but could of course be easily transferred into C#).
