###PREREQUISITES

####Selenium

This testsuite is based on Selenium http://seleniumhq.org/, and requires a Selenium RC server. Selenium RC requires Java but is otherwise easy to install and run on your local machine, see http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/. By default the test scripts expect Selenium RC to be running on localhost port 4444, but this can be configured.

####Perl

This test suite requires Perl with the following modules:

• Class::Inspector
• Getopt::Long
• LWP::UserAgent
• Test::Exception
• Test::More
• Test::WWW::Selenium
• Time::HiRes

###RUNNING TESTS

The test modules are located in /modules/EnsEMBL/Selenium/Test/

The script to run tests is /utils/run_tests.pl

To run all tests for a site using the default settings you must specify the name of the test module and the url of the site to test, e.g. $ run_tests.pl --module Fungi --url http://fungi.ensembl.org

The following options are also supported:

--species_name 
  specify  which species should be tested, e.g.
  $ run_selenium_tests.pl --module Fungi --url http://fungi.ensembl.org --species_name "Aspergillus nidulans"

--timeout

--test  
  specify one or more tests to run (only these test will be run), e.g.

  $ run_selenium_tests.pl --module Fungi --url http://fungi.ensembl.org --skip attach_das --skip upload_data

--verbose
