SELENIUM INTRODUCTION

What is Selenium?

• Selenium is a free (open source) automated test
  suite for web applications across different
  browsers and platforms. It's very similar to HP
  Quick Test Pro (now QTP UFT) only that Selenium
  focuses on web-based application automation.
  Testing with the Selenium tool is often referred
  to as a selenium test. Selenium is not just a
  unique tool, but a software suite, each meeting
  the different testing needs of an organization.

Components of Selenium

• It has four components
• Selenium Integrated Development Environment
  (IDE)
• Selenium Remote Control (RC)
• WebDriver
• Selenium grid

Components of Selenium

• Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• Selenium IDE is an integrated development
  environment for Selenium scripting. Selenium IDE
  includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you
  to quickly record and repeat tests in the real
  environment where you will be running.
• Selenium Remote Control (RC)
• Selenium Remote Control (RC) was the main
  Selenium project that was maintained by a long
  time before the appearance of Selenium WebDriver
  (Selenium 2.0). Selenium RC is not in use now, as
  WebDriver offers more powerful features, but
  users can continue to develop scripts with RC.

Components of Selenium

• Selenium WebDriver
• WebDriver is a web automation framework that
  lets you run your tests in different browsers,
  not just Firefox, Chrome (Unlike Selenium IDE).
  WebDriver also allows you to use a programming
  language when creating your test scripts (not
  Selenium IDE.)
• Selenium Grid
• Selenium grid Selenium Grid is part of Selenium
  Suite, which specializes in performing various
  tests on different browsers, operating systems.

Selenium Advantages

• Open source software, free software Easy
  installation
• Easy recording and playback
• Support multiple operating systems
• Support multiple browser tests
• Can convert scripts to other languages ??(Java, C
  , Python, Pearl, etc.)

7
Selenium Disadvantages

• Selenium IDE plays recordings as JavaScript
  within the browser. JavaScript within the browser
  is subject to the following restrictions
• JavaScript cannot read or write to files on the
  client machine
• JavaScript cannot close a window if it does not
  open it
• JavaScript cannot access pages hosted on another
  domain
• Selenium IDE is only available in Firefox browser

8
Conclusion

• The Selenium test tool has advantages and
  disadvantages compared to other web test tools
  automation. But selenium outperforms other test
  tools in cost areas
• Selenium comes at no cost as it is an open source
  test tool.
• Parallel Testing The tester can run test scripts
  on multiple machines simultaneously.
• Flexibility Selenium supports multi-language
  test scripts, multi-browser execution, and
  operating systems.
