Selenium Training
Selenium is known as a open source automated testing package for web applications across varied browsers and platforms. It is quite alike to HP Quick Test Pro where Selenium focuses on automatic web-based applications. Testing performed using Selenium tool is usually referred as Selenium Testing.
Selenium is a suite of tools designed specifically for automating web browsers. It is used by many major online enterprises like Microsoft, Facebook and Google for testing their web user interfaces. Selenium supports different operating systems, programming languages and browsers, that helps Selenium to stay ahead in Automation testing realm.Selenium is one of the most well-known testing frameworks in the world that is in use. It is an open source project that allows testers and developers to develop functional tests to drive the browser. It can be used to record workflows so that developers can prevent future regressions of code. Selenium can work on any browser that supports JavaScript since Selenium has been built using JavaScript.

Course Description
Selenium is an updated and recent framework for testing web applications. Selenium provides a playback tool for authoring functional tests without any need to test scripting language. It also offers a test domain-specific language to author tests in a number of popular programming languages, which includes C#, Groovy, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Scala. The tests can run against most web browsers. Selenium is implemented on Windows, Linux, and MacOS platforms.
Selenium is the best option for automated testing. It is becoming progressively popular and it is the most chosen tool by automation testers as well as organizations for automating the testing of Web-based applications compatible in both GUI as well as the functionality. Selenium can also be utilised as a unit testing tool for JavaScript.

What is Selenium?
Selenium is one of the most widespread automated testing suites. Selenium is designed in a way to support and implement automation testing of functional aspects of web-based applications across vast range of browsers and platforms. Due to its availability in the open source community, it has become one of the most adopted tools amongst the testing professionals.
-
What are the different Selenium components?
The selenium suite package constitutes the following sets of tools:
-
Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE) – Selenium IDE is known as record and playback tool.
-
Selenium Remote Control (RC) – Selenium RC is defined as a server that allows a user to create test scripts in the desired programming language. It also allows the users to execute test scripts within the large spectrum of browsers.
-
Selenium WebDriver –WebDriver directly interacts with the web browser and uses its native compatibility for automation process.
-
Selenium Grid – Selenium Grid is used to distribute the test execution on multiple platforms and environments.
-
List out the testing types that can be supported by Selenium?
Selenium offers the following types of testing:
-
Functional Testing
-
Regression Testing
-
Mention the limitations of Selenium?
Following are some limitations of Selenium:
-
Selenium supports only web-based applications testing
-
Selenium does not support Mobile applications
-
Captcha and Barcode readers are not tested using Selenium
-
Reports are generated using third-party tools like TestNG or JUnit.
-
The technical user need to possess prior programming language knowledge.
-
When should I use Selenium IDE?
Selenium IDE is the easiest of all the tools within the Selenium Package. Its record and playback feature makes it effortlessly easy to learn with minimal connectivity to any programming language. Selenium IDE is an ideal tool for a naïve end user.
-
Define Selenese?
Selenese is the programming language which is used to write test scripts in Selenium IDE tool.
-
Mention the different types of locators in Selenium?
The locator are referred as an address that denotes a web element uniquely within the webpage. The different types of locators in Selenium:
-
ID
-
ClassName
-
Name
-
TagName
-
LinkText
-
PartialLinkText
-
Xpath
-
CSS Selector
-
DOM
-
Explain the difference between assert and verify commands?
Assert: Assert command is used to check whether the given condition is true or false. If the condition is true then the program control executes the next test step but if the condition is false, the execution is interrupted.
Verify: Verify command is also used to check whether the given condition is true or false. Regardless of the condition being true or false, the program execution doesn’t stop and all the test steps are executed.
-
Name the latest Selenium tool?
WebDriver
-
How to launch the browser using WebDriver?
The following syntax is used to launch Browser:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
