Selenium Webdriver

IITworkforce offer Selenium Webdriver live project internship training from industry experts

What is Selenium WebDriver?

Inarguably, testing is a crucial part of a software development life cycle. The pressure of debugging and fixing the errors in the code before delivering it to the client is gigantic. Selenium WebDriver, with its inexhaustible list of features, has evolved as a frontrunner among the automation testing tools.

First off, the Selenium automation tool is an open-source, portable tool that is cost-effective, flexible, time-saving, and efficient at the same time. Next, it not just minimizes the errors of manual testing, but with its priceless features like cross-platform functioning, browser independent, multi-language support, and ease of implementation Selenium WebDriver has become one of the preferred testing tools by various organizations like Google, ThoughtWorks, Mozilla, etc.

The maestros in the IT field believe that Selenium WebDriver is here to survive for long; essentially the present and future of the software testing world.

On high-level, the Selenium Suite has four components :

The simple and easy-to-learn Selenium IDE, an add-on to create simple test cases.
Selenium Remote Control (RC) aka Selenium 1, a tool that allows the testers to incorporate codes using programming languages for creating complex test cases. Selenium Grid, a tool used in tandem with Selenium RC for running parallel tests across browsers.
The mighty WebDriver that offers the flexibility to communicate with the browsers using test scripts.
Selenium 2 integrates Selenium RC and the powerful companion WebDriver to evolve as a much effective testing automation tool than its competitor and alternative, Quick Testing Professional (QTP).

Advantages & Evolution

It all began in 2004…

To overcome the inefficiencies of Manual Testing, Jason Huggins, then an engineer at ThoughtWorks developed a testing tool named JavaScriptTetRunner using JavaScript in 2004, which was later renamed to Selenium Core in the years to come.

Selenium Core was tested and tried, incorporating a lot of improvements during the process, and Selenium RC which is also called Selenium 1, arrived in 2005. It has proven to be a flagship testing framework for a long period of time as it allows the users to develop codes using multiple programming languages like Java, C#, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP.

Selenium IDE was developed outside the USA, in Japan in 2006. Selenium IDE is effortless to install, being a Firefox add-on/Chrome extension and easier to use, nevertheless, it can only be used for running simple test cases. With its record and playback feature, along with edit and debugging abilities, it can automate the testing process on the browser. However, the browser interaction is limited using Selenium IDE. To make up for the gap, the Selenium RC was used for running complex test cases.

The WebDriver, on the other hand, has emerged to be the perfect solution to all the limitations. With its ability to strike a direct interaction with the browser through code snippets, it has more control over the browser behavior and actions.

Selenium Grid was developed in 2008 to work hand in glove with Selenium RC which is essentially to enable repetitive parallel testing across various browsers and machines.

Then Selenium 2 or Selenium WebDriver has emerged in 2009 after merging the powerful WebDriver and Selenium RC.

What are the advantages of learning Selenium WebDriver?

Selenium WebDriver has proved itself to outweigh any form of software testing as it has improved the overall quality of web-based testing by far.

According to a study, over twenty-five thousand companies use Selenium for test automation. Quite naturally, such a huge fan-base is not without a reason.
The pre-requisite for learning Selenium is not very demanding. However, it is good to have the knowledge of

Java
HTML
CSS
XML

With the requirement for automation testers growing rapidly, it is imperative that all the IT professionals update themselves with versatile tools like Selenium 2.0/ Selenium WebDriver. Not just the testers or QA professionals, from Software Developers to System Administrators, all the IT professionals are highly recommended to educate themselves with this magnanimous tool.
Finally, but most importantly, there is a huge demand for Selenium testers in the market.
