How to run Selenium tests repeatedly in infinite loop

We have a series of tests and we need to run them repeatedly for an extended length of time but there is no settings in Selenium IDE that allows infinite loop test run. In this article, will show the workaround to achieve that.

• Open Selenium IDE and create a new project.

• Add new test named "infinite loop run".

• Enter the following commands:

  1. Command:
     execute script
     Target:
     return 0;
     Value:
     index
     

  2. Command:
     while
     Target:
     1
     Value:
     
     

  3. Command:
     execute script
     Target:
     

     window.seleniumTests = ['test 1', 'test 2', 'test 3'];
     return window.seleniumTests[${index}];
           

     Value:
     test
     

  4. Command:
     execute script
     Target:
     

     var count = ${index};
     count++;
     if (count >= window.seleniumTests.length) {
       count = 0;
     }
     return count;
           

     Value:
     index
     

  5. Command:
     run
     Target:
     ${test}
     Value:
     
     

  6. Command:
     end
     Target:
     
     Value:
     
     

  This is our Selenium IDE tests should look like:

  

• Add the tests that needs to run repeatedly for an extended length of time named "test 1", "test 2" and "test And supply the commands that you need to execute for "test 1", "test 2" and "test 3" tests.

• To run the "test 1", "test 2" and "test 3" tests infinitely, click the test named "infinite loop run" and click "Run current test" play button.
