Selenium

What is Selenium?

Selenium is an open-source test automation framework primarily used for automating web applications. It supports multiple programming languages, including Java, Python, C#, Ruby, and JavaScript. Selenium provides a suite of tools for automating browsers, enabling testers to simulate user interactions with web pages such as clicking, typing, and navigating. It is widely used for functional testing and regression testing of web applications and supports multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Test automation with Selenium is primarily used for:

  • Web UI automation: Automating interactions with web applications, such as clicking buttons, filling out forms, and verifying page content.

  • Cross-browser testing: Ensuring that web applications perform consistently across different browsers and operating systems.

  • Regression testing: Running automated tests to check that new code changes don’t introduce bugs into existing functionality.

  • Integration into CI/CD pipelines: Selenium tests are commonly integrated into continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) pipelines to ensure software quality with each update.
