Selenium Overview

• Selenium is one of the most widely used open source Web UI (User Interface) automation testing suite.
• It was developed by Jason Huggins in 2004.
• Selenium supports a variety of programming languages such as C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby.

Limitation of Selenium

• Selenium does not support automation testing for desktop applications.
• It does not have built-in Object Repository like UTF/QTP/TestComplete to maintain objects/elements in centralized location. However, we can overcome this limitation using Page Object Model.
• Selenium does not have any inbuilt reportingcapability; you have to rely on third part modules like ctreport-selenium
• It is not possible to perform testing on images. We need to integrate Selenium with Sikuli for image based testing.

Selenium suite

• Selenium IDE
• Selenium RC
• WebDriver
• Seleium Grid

Where Selenium RC and Webdriver are merged so, it forms Selenium Webdriver and current version of Selenium Webdriver is 3.141
