In case you don’t have a X server running, I am also going to show you how to use xvfb and capture a screenshot with xwd to see if everything work as expected. In the following sections, I am going to show you how to install Selenium RC on Ubuntu and how to run the test suite. For using these tools you just need to know the IP address, user and password to access the Ubuntu Server.I am going to assume your local machine is Windows and that you are going to use these tools to work with the Ubuntu server: Let’s suppose you already have a test suite if not, check my previous post: How to create a test suite in Selenium, where I created a simple test suite composed of 2 test cases, one that checks the elements present in Google Sign up form and other that tests the error messages texts when you submit the sign up form with all fields empty.

In case you have a Ubuntu server running Hudson (software for Continuous Integration), you may want to make a first attempt to run a Selenium test suite in command line before setting up a Hudson job that automatically runs the test suite.
