“SELENIUM” is an open-source automation testing tool which is used for automating tests carried out
on different web-browsers. Since Selenium is open-source, there is no licensing cost involved, which is a
major advantage over other testing tools. Selenium is not just a single tool but a suite of software's,
each catering to different testing needs of an organization.
It supports all major languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, and Perl programming languages
for software test automation. User can write your scripts in any of these programming languages and
Selenium converts it into Selenium compatible codes in no time.
2. Multi-Browser Support:-
As per manual Counter, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Edge browsers are the
most used browsers worldwide and Selenium script is compatible with all the mentioned browsers.
User don’t need to rewrite scripts for every browser, just one script for all browsers.
Selenium is yet a highly portable tool that supports and can work across different operating systems
like Windows, Linux, Mac OS, UNIX, etc.
4. Ease of Implementation:-
Selenium automation framework is very easy-to-use tool. Selenium provides a user-friendly interface
that helps create and execute test scripts easily and effectively.
Selenium automation test suites are reusable and can be tested across multiple browsers and operating
systems.
6. Flexibility:-
Test management is what which is very important in testing lifecycle. It becomes easier and more
efficient with Selenium features like regrouping and refactoring of test cases. This helps developers and
testers in quick changes to the code, reducing duplication, minimizing complications and improving
maintainability. These features make Selenium more flexible and usable as compared to other
automation testing tools and hence helps Selenium to keep an edge.
The main aim of automated testing is to save time and efforts. With the help of Selenium Grid, user can
execute multiple tests in parallel, hence reducing the test execution time. With the help of cloud-grids
for cross-browser testing user can test across as many as hundreds of browsers in parallel using
Selenium hence saving user time in multiples of hundreds.
