Often we have scenarios to send the reports after execution of scripts via scripting. Here is an example... Dim msg Set msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message") msg.From="abcd @gmail.com " msg.To="efgh @gmail.com " msg.Subject="Testing1 Sub" msg.TextBody="Testing1 Body" msg.AddAttachment("C:\\test.xls") msg.Send set msg=nothing msgbox "Finished" If you guys want to send with detailed things,  Refer CDO.Message Object reference... Below lines are optional. But sometimes we need to add these lines to pass.... msg.Configuration.Fields.Item( " http://schemas.microsoft.com/ cdo/configuration/smtpserver ") =" smtp.gmail.com " msg.Configuration.Fields.Item( " http://schemas.microsoft.com/ cdo/configuration/ smtpserverport ")=25 msg.Configuration.Fields.Item( " http://schemas.microsoft.com/ cdo/configuration/sendusing ")= 2 msg.Configuration.Fields.Item( " http://schemas.microsoft...

Open Visual Studio and Create a Project. 1. Create a CLass Library 2. Inside the .vb file, Create a Interface first. 3. Create class by inheriting from Interface. 4. Create Strong Name under "Signing" TAB of Properties. 5. Enable the "Register for Com Interop" under "compile" TAB of Properties 6. Enter the Assembly Information under "Application" TAB of Properties 7. Build the Solution. After this, 1. Goto "Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt" 2. Navigate to dll path 3. Register the dll using "regasm" like regasm test.dll /tlb:test.tlb Now Registry Entries will be done under CLSID and Interface. Then 4. Export to GAC(Global Assembly Cache ie. C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Assembly\) using "gacutil.exe" like gacutil /i test.dll That's all.... We can use the COM application....

Selenium Start.... - Have wrapper libraries to Selenium methods so that it is easy for testers to use them e.g. Launching browser etc. - Have separate library for methods specific for module which can be called by multiple TCs - Externalize locators in a separate file. If you don't have IDs, however preferred, you may use Xpaths - Externalize data on separate xmls and plan to have individual xml for each language which gets called based on locale set Hope it will guide the novice users to start with selenium...
