Selenium

Selenium an open source tool which is widely used in information technology industry for test automation. It was originally developed by Jason Huggins as an internal testing tool for ThoughtsWorks.

Many Companies, let's say most are currently developing web based solutions to be run in an internet browser. Selenium supports all common browsers for automation. Also it supports to write/run test cases without learning scripting languages as well as to all common languages such as Java, C#, PHP, Python, Ruby and Groovy scripts. Hence QA engineer able to use own test cases and run through selenium.

Selenium is the software testing framework for various web applications written in Java.

Selenium was developed by the company Mercury Interactive. As we know Selenium is a popular antidote for Mercury poisoning, hence the name, Selenium.

Selenium is open-source software released under Apache 2.0 license. Using Selenium for automated testing is free but it cannot manage all the tests created. Hence, serves for cost effective automation testing.

Selenium can be implemented as add-on on Firefox. Selenium authors test without knowledge of test scripting language.

Selenium can operate on almost every operating system.

It supports a wide range of browsers from opera to IE 9.Selenium support different scripting language like Java, Php, Perl, Python, Ruby & C#. With the use of Selenium, it is possible to execute simultaneous tests leveraging various browsers on various machines. This is turn cuts down the time for test execution when a large project is in progress.

Selenium comes in two parts:

Selenium WebDriver - if you want to create robust, browser based regression automation suites and tests.

Selenium IDE - if you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts or create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing.
