Introduction to Selenium:

Selenium is most popular open-source automation testing tool. It allows testers to create automated tests in different programming languages to check the functionality of web applications because it offers compatibility with a variety of programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, and more. Various operating systems and browsers are compatible with Selenium.

On multiple browsers and operating systems, it may be used to test how well web applications work. The Selenium framework helps testers to provide test cycles more rapidly by automating repetitious test cases. Selenium integrates well with CI/CD pipelines and can help with a dependable, bug-free release deployment workflow.
 

What is Automation testing?

Automation test is an important approach that executes a test case suite using unique automated testing tools. A tester writes the testing scripts and runs it on a tool to execute the testcases. Manual testing, on the other hand, is carried out by a human sitting in front of a computer, carefully carrying out the test processes. Many software companies will have a QA (quality assurance) automation tester on staff. In the early phases, they develop and write the test scripts.

Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an open source automation testing tool that is used to test web based applications. Selenium IDE mainly works on ‘record and play‘ based functionality where we can record the test script and play it. Selenium IDE is used to made up automated test cases. Selenium IDE is an open source Mozilla Firefox Add-On .
