What is Selenium ?

 

History of Selenium :

  •  In 2004 invented by Jason Huggins and team.
  • Original name is JavaScript Functional Tester (JSFT).
  • Open source browser based integration framework (Selenium RC) built originally by Thought Works.
  • Google, who has been a long time user of Selenium, had a developer named Simon Stewart who developed WebDriver. This tool circumvented Selenium's JavaScript sandbox to allow it to communicate with the Browser and Operating System directly using native methods.
  • In 2008, Selenium and WebDriver merged technologies and intellectual intelligence to provide the best possible test automation framework.

 

What is Selenium ? :


"Selenium is one API having a group of components."
Selenium is a free (open source) automated testing suite for web applications across different browsers and platforms. It is quite similar to HP Quick Test Pro (QTP) only that Selenium focuses on automating web-based applications. It is 100% JavaScript and HTML Web Testing Tool which supports for cross-Browser testing (On Multiple browsers) and multiple operating systems.
Selenium is not just a single tool but a suite of software, each catering to different testing needs of an organization. It has five components.

 

Selenium Components :-

  • Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) - Record and Playback
  • Selenium Core - Runs the test suits on the web server where the web application is deployed
  • Selenium RC - 1.0 - Server / Client (Selenium. Start/Selenium. Stop)
  • Selenium 2.0 / WebDriver / Advanced Selenium
  • Selenium Grid - Performance Tool
