Accepted Answer

Selenium is a free and open-source tool for testing web applications across multiple browsers and operating systems. Selenium Test Scripts can be written in different programming languages, including Java, C#, JavaScript, Python, etc. Automation performed using the Selenium framework is referred to as Selenium Automation testing.

Question 2

What are the benefits of Selenium in automation?

Accepted Answer

Selenium has numerous advantages for test automation. It also supports recording and playback for testing web apps and can execute numerous scripts across various browsers.

Question 3

How can I automate with Selenium using LambdaTest?

Accepted Answer

The LambdaTest Selenium Automation Grid allows you to run end-to-end automation tests on a secure, robust, and scalable Selenium infrastructure. You can perform automated cross-browser testing across 3000+ browsers and operating systems, resulting in higher test coverage and much shorter build times. Refer to our Selenium Automation testing documentation.

Question 4

What Is Parallel Testing?

Accepted Answer

Parallel testing is one of the best ways to cut down overall test execution time of the whole test build. If you have test builds of multiple tests, parallel testing at LambdaTest will allow you to run these Selenium webdriver tests across multiple machines simultaneously. so if you have a build of 100 tests, and are subscribed on 10 parallel testing plan, then you can run upto 10 test threads simultaneously across 10 machines. Running tests in parallel will cut down drastically your overall build test execution times.

Question 5

What Is Selenium Testing With Example?

Accepted Answer

Selenium is a widely-used testing framework for web applications that allows automation of UI testing and an example would be automating the testing of login functionality or searching for specific content on a website.

Question 6

Is Selenium Testing Easy?

Question 12

How To Use Selenium For Automation?

Accepted Answer

To use Selenium for automation, you would typically create and execute your tests using a programming language and testing framework of your choice. Integrate your test scripts with LambdaTest using the provided API endpoint and credentials. Select the desired browser and platform configurations and then execute your tests on the LambdaTest cloud infrastructure.

Question 13

What Type Of Testing Is Selenium Used For?

Accepted Answer

Selenium is primarily used for Functional testing at the System Testing Level and the Acceptance Testing Level of the Software Development Life Cycle. Selenium can also be used for Load Testing by simulating multiple users interacting with a web application simultaneously to create a load on the system.

Question 14

Is Selenium Good For Automation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Selenium is excellent for automation. It provides a powerful set of features for automating testing including the ability to simulate user interactions, extract data from web pages and generate reports on test results.
