Introducing Selenium:- Selenium is an Open Source tool for automating browser-based applications. Selenium is a set of different software tools, each with a different approach to supporting test automation. The tests can be written as HTML tables or coded in a number of popular programming languages and can be run directly in most modern Web browsers. Selenium can be deployed on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh and many OS for mobile applications like iOS, Windows Mobile, and Android. It enables testers to write automated tests in various programming languages to test the functionality of web applications. Selenium tests can be run on many different browsers and operating systems.
Automate if: The cost of automation is lower than the manual execution of those scripts.
The key idea here is to plan for the cost of script maintenance. I have seen a lot of automation projects fail because project managers did not plan for the labor costs involved in script maintenance.
What is Selenium Used For?
Most programmers and developers who build website applications and wish to test them every now and then use Selenium. One of the biggest advantages of Selenium, which has made it so popular, is its flexibility. Any individual who creates web programs can use Selenium to test the code and applications. Further, professionals can debug and perform visual regression tests as per the requirements of the website or code.
What Is Selenium WebDriver? Selenium WebDriver allows you to interact directly with the browsers through your automation testing scripts. Java, PHP, C#, Python, Ruby, Perl, and Javascript are some programming languages it supports. The browsers Selenium WebDriver supports include Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome version 12.0.712.0 and above, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera version 11.5 and above, and HtmlUnit version 2.9 and above. As for operating systems, Selenium WebDriver supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Solaris.
Selenium WebDriver comprises 4 main components:
1. Selenium Client Libraries
2. JSON Wire Protocol Over HTTP Client
3. Browser Drivers
4. Real Browsers
The major and most widely used Selenium bindings provided by the Selenium Project are there to help you with:
1. Java Selenium Testing
2. Python Selenium Testing
3. JavaScript Selenium Testing
