Selenium is a functional testing framework for software
applications, presented by Apache Software Foundation. This free or open to use
functional testing service is deployed to examine the performance
and functionalities of web based software applications. The framework is used in
web applications for testing purposes. The scaffold makes the entire testing
pretty easy and unproblematic. Here are some of the best advantages of selenium
automation testing -
No requirement for learning the scripting language – When
performing the test under Selenium, the tester need not excel in the scripting
language Selenium IDE. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment.
Interestingly, the framework also entitles a particular, easily understandable
test domain specific language, namely – Selenese. With the help of the
straightforward interface, testers can inscribe test scripts in JAVA, C#, PHP,
Python, RUBY, or whichever programming language they want.
No Specific Browser or Operating System –
The framework can efficiently work and be installed on any modern web browser
on Windows, Linux, and MAC, etc.
Greater Flexibility – Another enormous advantage
from the developers’ point of view is that selenium come with a great
flexibility which makes it (including all updates and versions) one of the best
frameworks released till date. There is a customization option in the interface
that allows you to add to test series and framework, both.
