Green color, then the test has passed.
Light Green means the code executed

Dark Green means the test result of the
command evaluated to true.
If any part of the test failed it will be shown
with Red color.

At least one Firefox browser window must be
open
Play back every automated test to ensure
expected behavior.
Keep playback in slow mode when you begin
debugging.
Then playback in fast mode to finish
debugging.
Placing Browser window and Selenium IDE
windows side by side is a convenient way of
tracking test execution step by step.
