UnitTest Test Automation On An Online Cloud

Selenium is an open-source test automation framework for testing websites and webapps. Used mainly for end-to-end automation of browser based web testing, it is the most popular automation testing framwork. UnitTest on the other hand, picks up where selenium gets left off. It extends selenium and is a full featured test automation framework that can used for everything including unit tests, end-to-end tests, integration tests, and much more. In most practical use cases developers and testers do not use just vanilla Selenium. Users usually use both Selenium and frameworks like UnitTest together.

You can run parallel tests at LambdaTest using UnitTest.
