📖 Overview
What is Selenium Testing?
Selenium Testing is used to automate web browsers to perform regression, functional, and load testing on web applications efficiently.
🔑 Key Aspects
🎯 Objectives
- Automate repetitive testing tasks
- Ensure web application functionality
- Reduce human errors and save time
✅ Advantages
- Open-source and widely supported
- Cross-browser testing possible
- Integrates with CI/CD pipelines
⚠️ Limitations
- Requires programming knowledge
- Setup and maintenance can be complex
- Cannot automate non-web applications
📋 Process
Selenium Testing Process
- Identify test scenarios for automation
- Write automation scripts using Selenium WebDriver
- Execute scripts on different browsers
- Analyze test results and logs
- Maintain and update scripts as application changes
🌍 Example
Real-world Example
Example: Automating login functionality of an e-commerce website using Selenium WebDriver and Java to verify successful login and error handling.
