What is Selenium ?
An open source automation testing tool to test web application across different platforms and browsers such as chrome, micosoft edge, firefox, safari etc. Using selenium one can create test scripts written in different languages such as Python, Java, C# etc. QE developers or automation testers can use these scripts to test web applications which is called Selenium Automation Testing.
Why Selenium widely used for automation testing ?
Imagine testing a web-based application having number of web pages. Using Manual testing might take lots of time where a user manually check each page and validate number of things such as textboxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, labels, hyperlinks, submission forms etc.which could lead to number of challenges such as time consuming, tedious, boring, delay in completion of the stories, and human error and mistakes.On the other hand, using selenium automated testing scripts one can frequently test the same web page numerous times without spending a little human effort where all the testing is done by the automated scripts. This results in faster delivery of the products and is less prone to the human errors.
Python & Selenium
Automation developers can write Python Selenium scripts to carry out automation testing for web applications and browsers. One can simulate tests such as filling web forms, clicking buttons, clicking hyperlinks etc. According to Software a survey by Stack Overflow developer 2021, Python is the third most popular language. It is widely used language in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and more.
