Selenium Automation
Selenium is a widely used open-source tool for automating web applications. It allows users to perform tasks such as testing and web scraping more efficiently than manual methods. Despite its advantages, Selenium has limitations, including slower test execution and limited support for mobile applications.
- ▪Selenium supports multiple operating systems, browsers, and programming languages.
- ▪It is particularly useful for automated web application testing and continuous integration.
- ▪Selenium has components like Selenium IDE, Selenium RC, and Selenium WebDriver.
