What i understand about Selenium?

Hello All,

It is my second post in the blog, Neither I am a good writer or a speaker or a good blogger. I created this blog just to share my ideas/learning with all of you.

Today, lets talk about mercury killer -:) automation tool oops, browser automation tool. Yes, It is SELENIUM.

I have been working with Selenium for quite some time, found it very powerful tool to automate browser tasks or automate your AUT.

Selenium is not an fully automation tool, but a browser automation tool. Lets get it straight, Selenium as tool can and only can automate anything embedded in side a HTML tag.

Lets talk about how it works in very simple term. I have experienced many basic questions related to Selenium, will try to share those experiences below....

1) Selenium is a browser automation tool.
2) The above point makes it clear that, Selenium can work with elements which are enclosed with a html tags.
3) All whatever you see in a webpage can be represented as a     Web Element by Selenium.
3) How does it actually work?
       a) First IDENTIFY Web Element.
       b) Second Act/Perform action Web Element.
4) Verify the state of your application by comparing actual/expected results.
5) Give pass/fail status based on the result verification.

For the starters, Wait for the new coming post.... be tuned...We will see many new things about Selenium.


Happy Automating!!

God Bless You All.
