Enhancing your Selenium test case strategies for better performance

I've created a test case that compares two arrays, removing matching elements and throwing an exception for non-matching ones.

Although it's functional, the test is quite long and messy. Can anyone suggest ways to optimize or improve it?

System.out.println(globalArray);
String[] array = selenium.getAllFields();
System.out.println(array);
String length = selenium.getEval("storedVars.array.length");
System.out.println(length);
String  = selenium.getEval("storedVars.length--");
System.out.println(length);
String index1 = "-1";
// Better comments needed here
// selenium.label("loop1");
System.out.println(selenium.getEval("storedVars.index1<storedVars.array.length"));
// selenium.while("storedVars.index1<${length}");
String  = selenium.getEval("storedVars.index1++");
System.out.println("FORM ARRAY INDEX: " + index1);
String id = selenium.getEval("storedVars.array[storedVars.index1]");
System.out.println("MATCH: " + id);
// More structured comments required
// selenium.label("loop2");
String index2 = "-1";
// selenium.while("storedVars.index2<storedVars.globalArray.length");
String  = selenium.getEval("storedVars.index2++");
System.out.println("GLOBAL ARRAY INDEX: " + index2);
String size = selenium.getEval("storedVars.globalArray.length");
String  = selenium.getEval("if (storedVars.id == storedVars.globalArray[storedVars.index2]){storedVars.globalArray.splice (storedVars.index2,1); }");
System.out.println("SIZE: " + globalArray);
// Clean-up comments would be helpful
// selenium.endWhile();
// Further updates in comments needed
// selenium.goto("loop1");
// selenium.endWhile();
// Enhance comments for better clarity
String length = selenium.getEval("storedVars.globalArray.length");
String  = selenium.getEval("storedVars.length--");
System.out.println(length);
String index3 = "-1";
// Emphasize on clearer comments
// selenium.while("storedVars.index3<${length}");
String  = selenium.getEval("storedVars.index3++");
System.out.println(index3);
verifyEquals("All Fields Present", selenium.getExpression(selenium.getEval("if(storedVars.length == 0){storedVars.outcome='All Fields Present';} else {storedVars.outcome='Missing Field: ' + storedVars.globalArray[storedVars.index3];}")));
// Enhanced comments are crucial for readability
// selenium.endWhile();

If the code structure is difficult to understand, please let me know so I can add more detailed comments.

Answer №1

In my experience with Java, I believe Selenium is best suited for automating browser testing and end-user regression testing. It seems like you are trying to use it as a unit testing framework. Have you considered using a dedicated unit testing framework instead?

Based on your question, it appears that qunit could be a good starting point:
