So, let us start with the features of Selenium IDE.

Let us discuss about each feature of Selenium IDE in detail

Menu Bar:

The Menu bar has the following tabs as in below figure:

File:

The File menu contains options to create, open, save, and close tests.

“Export” option allows us to convert Selenium IDE test cases into file formats that can run on Selenium

“Export Test Case As” exports only the currently opened test case to source code.

“Export Test Suite As” exports all the test cases in the currently opened test suite to source code.

By Selenium IDE, test cases can be exported only to the following formats:

.rb (Ruby source code)
.cs (C# source code)
.java (Java source code)

.py (Python source code)

Now Selenium IDE supports Perl and PHP formats also.
