Introduction To Selenium

Selenium is an open source(free) automation testing suite for web applications crosswise over various platform and browser. It is very like HP Quick Test Pro (QTP now UFT but only the main difference is that selenium is used for web application. Testing using selenium framework is called selenium testing. Selenium is not just a tool it is set of tool called a suit. It helps the testers to perform the testing of web application efficiently.

It has four parts:

a)Selenium IDE

b)Selenium RC

c) Selenium webdriver

d)Selenium grid

a)Selenium IDE: It is Selenium integrated environment. It is a Firefox plugin. It helps the testers to record their action which they perform to test the certain flow.

b)Selenium Remote Control (RC) was the lead testing framework that permitted more than straightforward program activities and direct execution. It makes full utilization of all programming language.

c)Selenium web driver: It is at the top of selenium grid which sends the command directly to the browser and retrieves the result.

d)Selenium grid: It is a tool which helps in running parallel test over different machine and browser which help in reducing execution speed.

Advantages of selenium:
