How to Install the Selenium IDE

Hi Webies, since excel automation has some limits in the web sites, Open Source tools like Selenium IDE has good exposure to web testing, so today I'm going to explain how to install the Selenium IDE (Integrated Developement Environment) in browser.

The Selenium-IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the tool you use to develop your Selenium test cases. It’s an easy-to-use Firefox plug-in and is generally the most efficient way to develop test cases. It also contains a context menu that allows you to first select a UI element from the browser’s currently displayed page and then select from a list of Selenium commands with parameters pre-defined according to the context of the selected UI element. This is not only a time-saver, but also an excellent way of learning Selenium script syntax.
Step 1: Download the IDE from the SeleniumHQ downloads page
Step 2: Click ‘Allow’ to proceed with the installation.
Step 3: Select Install Now. The Firefox Add-ons window pops up, first showing a progress bar, and when the download is complete. Restart Firefox. After Firefox reboots you will find the Selenium-IDE listed under the Firefox Tools menu.
