Selenium RC and Proxy Chaining (Double Proxies)

Selenium core vs Selenium IDE vs Selenium RC
2008-03-19 13:21:00 I got a chance to use this valuable tool which is light weighted and user friendly. It can be used by any technical or non-technical users as well. I really love this tool. Selenium IDE is a plugin or call it an extension to Firefox, just like Firebug, Chatzilla but with a different functionality and purpose altogether. The recording mode plugin is not available for IE.Basically Selenium IDE records its tests in HTML and then uses those tests to execute through browser. But users can covert HTML script to ruby,php,phython,C# or java by Options->Format.But when you need them to execute the tests altogether as a test suite then follow the link change the test according the requirements and also modify different execution mechanism as required.http://wiki. openqa.org/ display/SIDE/ Automating+ Selenium+ IDE+tests Selenium Core and Selenium RC are used to execute the recorded script. If you application does not work on Firefox or if it is not intended to work on Firefox according to t...

The Latest on Selenium Supplements
2007-07-10 19:24:00 If a little is good, more must be better, right? Unfortunately too many people believe this when it comes to taking dietary supplements. Some vitamins and minerals are actually harmful when taken at high dosages. Take selenium for example. Selenium functions as an antioxidant in the body, working with vitamin E and thyroid hormone. The daily requirement for adults is 55ug per day, however toxicity can develop with intakes over 400ug per day. Toxicity symptoms include loss and brittleness of nails and hair, irritability, fatigue, nervous system disorders and garlic breath odor. You can also add increasing the likelyhood of developing Type 2 diabetes to the list if results of a recently published study prove to be accurate. I'll spare you all the details of the study (however if you are interested, click here), but essentially what these researchers found was that long term doses of 200ug per day of selenium raised a person's chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. As in...

Selenium supplements boosts immune system in HIV patients
2007-01-27 18:02:01 The Journal News: Taking an inexpensive selenium supplement has shown to boost the immune systems of HIV/AIDS patients regardless of whether they are taking antiretroviral medications, according to a study published yesterday in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.The five-year study, conducted at the University of Miami and funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, found that taking 200 micrograms daily of a selenium supplement can suppress the progression of the disease and indirectly boost levels of CD4 white blood cells, which attack and destroy infections.The study involved 262 participants with HIV, some who were taking antiretroviral treatments and some who weren't."The results support the use of high selenium yeast as an inexpensive, safe nutritional therapy in HIV spectrum disease," lead study-investigator Barry Hurwitz said in a written statement.The study doesn't suggest that those who are on antiretroviral therapy can give up their expensive medic... |
