Why Selenium?
The current industry trends have shown that there is a mass movement towards automation testing. Hence a cluster of repetitive manual testing scenarios has raised a demand to bring in the practice of automating these manual scenarios.- It’s an open-source
- It has a large user base and helping communities
- It has multi-browser and platform compatibility
- It has active repository developments
- It supports multiple language implementations.
What does Selenium software do?
1. Automated Testing: Automated Testing comes in handy in larger projects where if not for Selenium, the tester would have to manually test each and every created functionality. With Selenium, all of the manual tasks are automated, thereby reducing the burden and stress on the testers.2. Cross Browsers Compatibility: Selenium supports a wide range of browsers such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera.
3. Increases Test Coverage: With the automation of tests, the overall testing time gets reduced which results in freeing up time for the tester to perform more testing on different test scenarios in the same time.
.4 Reduces Test Execution Time: Since Selenium supports parallel test execution, it greatly helps in reducing parallel test execution time.
5. Multiple OS Support: Selenium WebDriver provides support across multiple Operating Systems like Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac, etc. With Selenium WebDriver you can create a test case on Windows OS and execute it on Mac OS.
