selenium ide loop variables

Selenium IDE is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, allowing you to create and run automated tests for web applications. One useful feature in Selenium IDE is the ability to use loop variables to iterate over a set of data or perform repetitive actions. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use loop variables in Selenium IDE with a practical code example.
Install Selenium IDE: Make sure you have Selenium IDE installed in your preferred browser. You can install it as a browser extension.
Basic understanding of Selenium IDE: Familiarize yourself with the basic features of Selenium IDE. This tutorial assumes you have some knowledge of recording and playing back test cases.
Open your Selenium IDE in the browser where it's installed.
Create a new test case or open an existing one to which you want to add loop variables.
Record the actions you want to perform inside the loop. For example, let's say you want to search for different keywords on a search engine.
To insert a loop, right-click on the command where you want the loop to start and select "Insert New Command" "Control Flow" "storeEval." This command allows you to store a value in a variable.
In the "Target" field of the storeEval command, enter a JavaScript expression to set the loop variable. For instance, you can use the following code to create a loop that iterates three times:
In this example, a variable named counter is created or incremented in each iteration.
Right-click on the next command after the storeEval command and select "Insert New Command" "Control Flow" "if." Set the condition to check if the loop variable has reached a specific value, for example:
Within the "If" block, add the actions you want to repeat inside the loop.
Right-click on the command after the loop actions and select "Insert New Command" "Control Flow" "gotoIf." Set the target to the label of the storeEval command:
At the end of your test case, add a label to mark the end of the loop. Right-click on the last command and select "Insert New Command" "Control Flow" "label." Set the label name to match the target in the gotoIf command:
Run your test case and observe how it iterates over the specified actions based on the loop variables.
In this tutorial, you learned how to use loop variables in Selenium IDE to create repetitive actions within a test case. This feature is valuable for scenarios where you need to test multiple inputs or perform iterative tasks. Experiment with different loop conditions
