interactions with your website.
• Selenium WebDriver allows you to
write test scripts with your favorite
language that interact directly with
browser.
Selenium Frameworks

13. Benefits of Selenium
• Save tens of thousands of dollars in expensive, legacy testing tools.Free & Open Source
Support Multiple Languages
Support Multiple Browsers
• Run the same test on different browsers at one time or run different
tests concurrently cutting down testing time.Parallel Testing
• Engage and learn alongside a vibrant community that is continually
pushing the boundaries of Selenium.Active Community

14. Best Practices
Use Robust
Locators
• Class
• ID
• Link Text
• Tag Name
• XPath
Use The Page
Object Model
• Separate test code
and actual UI code
• Single source of
services and
variables
Avoid Sleep and
Explicit Waits
• Use Implicit waits
to build resilient
end-to-end tests

15. An Example Test Case
Title: Logging into CrossBrowserTesting

Enter Email into "email"
field
Enter a password into the
"password" field
Click log in
Expected
