What is Selenium - A Simple Guide for Begginers

What is Selenium?

Selenium is one of the most popular Open Source Web UI (User Interface) automation testing suites, developed by Jason Huggins in 2004 as an internal tool at Thought Works. This automated testing framework validates web applications across multiple browsers and platforms. Various programming languages like Java,Python, PHP, Ruby, C#, etc., are used for creating Selenium Test Scripts and deployed on platforms like Windows, Linux, or Mac.

Selenium only tests web applications; we can neither test any mobile application or desktop application using Selenium. Also, note that Mozilla Firefox is Selenium WebDriver’s default browser. This automation testing framework integrates with other automation test tools such as Jenkins, Docker, Maven, etc., for achieving continuous testing. Also, it integrates with JUnit and TestNG to manage test cases and generate reports.
