Selenium and C#: How to do mouse hover action in Selenium?

Today I wanted to verify the texts. The interesting part is that if I don’t do mouse hover action, Selenium WebDriver can’t return the texts. It returns empty string.

If I use the following code (Action-MoveToElement-Perform ) to do mouse hover action on the account menu in the site, I can verify the texts easily.  

Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

actions.MoveToElement(elementName);

actions.Perform();

Thread.Sleep(1000);

Fixed the issue in Selenium: An exception of type OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException occurred in WebDriver.dll but was not handled in user code

I am currently working on a new project where I need to write Selenium with C# to do the web automation in Visual Studio 2015.

Today after I rebooted my machine, I noticed that Firefox was removed. Therefore, I installed the new version of Firefox (45.0). After that, when running the tests, it caused the following Firefox Driver error, but it was working yesterday. 

I asked my test lead and he noticed that I installed the new version, but we still need to use Firefox 44.02.  After uninstalling Firefox 45.0 and installing Firefox 44.02, running the tests in Selenium passed.

Visual Studio 2015: Use the ordered test to run multiple coded web performance tests at a time.

This week, I installed Visual Studio 2015 update 1. After that, I notice that I can’t run selected tests including coded web performance tests in Test List Editor. I can’t run them in Test Explorer either.

However, In Visual Studio 2013, I can use Test List Editor to run selected tests without any issue (Please see The Feature Is Back- Visual Studio 2013 Can Run Selected Tests in Test List Editor).

In this situation, how do I run multiple coded web performance tests at a time in Visual Studio 2015 IDE directly?

• In coded web performance tests, I need to add IncludeWebTest in the source code. Right Click on this test and choose "Run Coded Web Performance Test". It will run multiple tests at a time. (Note: this is not what I want because it is not user-friendly and coded web performance tests are not supported in Test Explorer.)

•  Create a new Load Test that contains many coded web performance tests. (Note: This is not what I want because I don’t want to do the load test before coded web performance tests are working.)

•  Add a new ordered test that contains many coded web performance tests. This time, I can use Test Explorer to run this order test.(Note: Don’t try to put all tests in one ordered test. We can put several tests in one ordered tests.)

I would say Visual Studio 2015 IDE doesn’t provide good design to run multiple coded web performance tests at a time.
