Selenium has been accepted by organizations worldwide as one of the most efficient test automation tools. The
reason for being so effective and dominant is because it supports multiple browsers, multiple platforms, multiple
languages, can be easily integrated, has a huge community and is an open-source tool. Regardless of the project
scope and complexity, selenium can be used as an optimal and feasible solution for carrying out software testing
activities rewardingly. Selenium is exclusively used for web application testing to address issues like performance,
compatibility, user interface, security and website functionality.
What is a Selenium testing tool?
What are the Advantages
of the selenium testing tool?
It is an open-source automation tool used exclusively for automating web applications across various browsers and
platforms. Selenium test scripts can be written in popular programming languages such as C#, Python, Perl, PHP,
NodeJS, Java, Ruby etc.
Selenium tool suite consists of a set of tools that are used as per the software testing needs of a specific software
development project and organizational requirements. The set of tools are Selenium IDE (Integrated Development
Environment), Selenium RC (Remote Control), Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid.
Following are the advantages of the selenium testing tool:
1. Easy integration: Selenium can be easily integrated with JUnit and TestNG for generating reports and managing
test scripts. For the purpose of continuous integration testing, it can be integrated with CI/CD tools such as Docker,
Maven, Jenkins etc. If image-based testing needs to be performed, then selenium can be integrated with the Sikuli
tool.
2. Test execution can be carried out parallelly: Effort and time are saved to a great extent by test automation.
Execution of multiple test scripts can be done parallelly so that the test execution time can be reduced. Execution of
multiple scripts can be done on remote machines through the platform of the selenium grid.
3. Availability of frameworks: Scripts are provided with a proper structure through frameworks so that maintaining
code can be easy. Frameworks provide higher code readability, reduced script maintenance cost, higher portability
and increased code reuse.
4. The flexibility factor: Selenium is supported by a wide variety of frameworks when compared to other test
automation tools. When selenium is integrated with JUnit, TestNG etc., test controller and test management
activities are performed by other frameworks. Hence, Selenium is more adaptable and flexible in terms of
maintenance and automation development.
5. Promotes regular updates: There is an active and huge community that is entirely focused on the selenium
platform. Constant upgrades and updates are regularly released by the selenium community. These upgrades and
updates are easy to understand and ready to use. Various vendors and communities provide considerable support
for selenium.
6. Supports multiple browsers: Popular browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge and Opera
are easily compatible with selenium scripts. Test scripts can be created and can then be executed in these browsers
without any script changes. This means that scripts need not be rewritten for every browser. Through the platform
of browser drivers, all browsers can use just one script.
7. Supports multiple languages: Selenium code can be easily written in popular languages such as Ruby, Python,
C#, Perl, PHP, Java etc.
