Random Number Generator Using Selenium IDE

Step 1 :- If the user want to generate random number or word use the following code and save in "Test.js" and save it in on the disk

Selenium.prototype.doRandomString = function( options, varName ) {

    var length = 8;
    var type   = 'alphanumeric';

    var o = options.split( '|' );

    for ( var i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i ++ ) {
        if ( o[i] && o[i].match( /^\d+$/ ) )
            length = o[i];

        if ( o[i] && o[i].match( /^(?:alpha)?(?:numeric)?$/ ) )
            type = o[i];
    }

    switch( type ) {
        case 'alpha'        : storedVars[ varName ] = randomAlpha( length ); break;
        case 'numeric'      : storedVars[ varName ] = randomNumeric( length ); break;
        case 'alphanumeric' : storedVars[ varName ] = randomAlphaNumeric( length ); break;
        default             : storedVars[ varName ] = randomAlphaNumeric( length );
    };
};

function randomNumeric ( length ) {
    return generateRandomString( length, '0123456789'.split( '' ) );
}

function randomAlpha ( length ) {
    var alpha = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.split( '' );
    return generateRandomString( length, alpha );
}

function randomAlphaNumeric ( length ) {
    var alphanumeric = '01234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.split( '' );
    return generateRandomString( length, alphanumeric );
}

function generateRandomString( length, chars ) {
    var string = '';
    for ( var i = 0 ; i < length ; i++ )
        string += chars[ Math.floor( Math.random() * chars.length ) ];
    return string;
}

Step 2 :- Open Selenium IDE from mozilla Firefox

Step 3 :- Goto Option and click on options and add your javascript path in user-extension section and submit it

Step 4 :- Close the Selenium IDE and restart the selenium IDE

Step 5 :- Now use the following code
              RandomString||8|alphanumeric||Variable_name

Step 6 :- if you want to write in text box that value use the following code
              Type||element_name||${Variable_name}

note: if you modify javascript while selenium IDE is open please close and restart the IDE to get the effect
