program needs to run tests on each element in the result set, the programming languages
iteration support can be used to iterate through the result set, calling Selenium commands
to run tests on each item.

Selenium-Grid allows the Selenium-RC solution to sc ale for test suites or test suites to be
run in multiple environments.
With Selenium-Grid multiple instances of Selenium-RC are running on various operating
system and browser configurations, each of these when launc hing register with a hub.

test suite.

The icon of this button then changes to indicate the Resume button. To continue click

Stop in the Middle: Set a breakpoint in the test case to cause it to stop on a particular
command. This is useful for debugging your test case. To set a breakpoint, select a
command, right-click, and from the context menu select Toggle Breakpoint.
Start from the Middle: We can set the IDE to begin running from a specific command in
the middle of the test case. This also is used for debugging. To set a start point, select a
command, right-click, and from the context menu select Set/Clear Start Point.
