Selenium As An Automation Testing Tool
Selenium is a suite of software tools to automate web browsers.
It is open source and mainly used for functional testing and regression testing.
 Supports different PL  Java, Python, C#, PHP, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript
 Supports different OS  Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android
 Supports different Browsers  IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera

Selenium Suite Of Tools
• Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin which is used to create and execute test cases
• It records and plays back the interactions which the user had with the web browser
• Using IDE, you can export the programming code in different languages: Java, Ruby, Python etc.

Selenium Suite Of Tools
• Selenium Remote Control (RC) is used to write web
application tests in different PL
• It interacts with browsers with the help of Selenium
RC Server
• RC Server communicates using simple HTTP GET/
POST requests
• Drawback is that every communication with RC
server is timing consuming and hence RC is slow
• From Selenium v3 onwards, RC has been
depreciated and moved to legacy package

Selenium WebDriver is a programming interface to create and execute test cases
Test cases are created and executed using Elements/ Object locators/ WebDriver
methods
Selenium WebDriver has programming interface; not IDE
Selenium IDE supports only IDE; doesn’t have programming interface
•Fast as it interacts with browser directly; RC needs RC server to interact with browser

Selenium Suite Of Tools
• Selenium Grid is used to run multiple test scripts at the same time on multiple machines
• Parallel execution is achieved with the help of Hub-Node architecture
• Hub can control different test scripts on various browsers, OS and PL in various nodes
• Hub and nodes are started using jar files
• Supports RC test as well as WebDriver test

Radha Muthian says, “I learned Selenium WebDriver and the course
was very helpful to automate the Web Applications. The lifetime
access of classes helps a lot to refer back and download the codes.”
Vijay Krishnan says, “I have attended Selenium Web driver Certification with
Edureka. The trainer has explained all the concepts of the course in detail
manner which was very easy to understand. Worth for the money spent!!!!”
Tom Tully says, “I wanted to learn Selenium Webdriver in a live, real
course, not self paced, so there would be pressure on me to finish.
Edureka accomplished this at a price far lower than an in-person class,
and as far as I know they are the only internet class that has live lectures
on this subject. Teacher was very knowledgeable. I learned basic use of
Selenium. No problem with me being in US and teacher in India. They
have US 800 number.”
Suhas Kashyap says, “The online Course(Selenium Webdriver), which
I took from Edureka was interactive and also helped me to improve
my knowledge on selenium. Further helped me in changing the job as
well. Thanks Edureka Team... :).”
