Running Your First Selenium Test Using Agent Skills

Instead of manually setting up your Selenium project, you can use Agent Skills to let your AI coding assistant generate production-ready Selenium test automation for you.

The selenium-skill is part of TestMu AI Agent Skills - structured packages that teach AI coding assistants how to write production-grade test automation code.

What Are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills are self-contained packages of instructions, code patterns, debugging guides, and CI/CD configurations for specific testing frameworks. Once installed, your AI assistant works like a Senior QA automation architect with knowledge of:

• Proper project structure for each framework
• Correct dependency versions and configurations
• Both local and TestMu AI cloud execution patterns
• Common pitfalls and debugging approaches
• CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions

Prerequisites

• A TestMu AI account. If you don't have one, sign up for free.
• Your TestMu AI Username and Access Key from the Automation Dashboard.
• An AI coding assistant: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or any compatible tool.

Installing the Selenium Agent Skill

Clone the repository and copy the Selenium skill into your AI tool's skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills.git

# For Claude Code
cp -r agent-skills/selenium-skill .claude/skills/

# For Cursor
cp -r agent-skills/selenium-skill .cursor/skills/

# For GitHub Copilot
cp -r agent-skills/selenium-skill .github/skills/

# For Gemini CLI
cp -r agent-skills/selenium-skill .gemini/skills/

tip

If you prefer installing all available framework skills, clone the repository directly into your tool's skills directory (e.g., .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/).

Set Up Your Authentication

Configure your TestMu AI credentials as environment variables:

export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY"

Running Your First Test Using Agent Skills

Once installed, simply ask your AI assistant to write tests in natural language:

"Write Selenium tests for the login page and run them on TestMu AI cloud using Chrome and Firefox"

"Set up a Selenium Java project with TestNG, Page Object Model, and run tests on TestMu AI"

"Execute Selenium tests across 5 browsers in parallel on TestMu AI, tag the build as 'release-v1.0'"

The Agent Skill automatically handles:

1. Project setup - Creates the right folder structure, dependencies, and config files
2. Language detection - Maps your request to the correct language (Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, or PHP)
3. Execution target - Configures local or TestMu AI cloud execution based on your request
4. Best practices - Uses explicit waits, proper locator strategies, and Page Object Model patterns
