What is Selenium?
Selenium is a web automation tool used for automating web applications for testing purposes. Selenium is a suite of tools that includes Selenium IDE, Selenium WebDriver, Selenium Grid, and Selenium RC. Selenium IDE is a Firefox add-on used for recording and playing back tests. Selenium WebDriver is a Java library used for controlling browsers. Selenium Grid is a tool used for distributing tests across multiple machines. Selenium RC is a tool used for remotely controlling browsers.
Selenium is open source software released under the Apache 2.0 license. It is used by organizations such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Selenium WebDriver Basics
Selenium WebDriver is a Java library used for controlling browsers. It provides a mechanism for navigating to web pages, finding elements on web pages, and performing actions on those elements.
To use Selenium WebDriver, you first need to create a Java project and add the Selenium WebDriver library to your project. You can then create a Java class that extends the WebDriver class. The following code snippet shows how to create a Java class that uses Selenium WebDriver to navigate to the Google home page and find the search bar:
package com.example; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; public class SeleniumWebDriverExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new instance of the Firefox driver WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); // navigate to the Google home page driver.navigate().to(” // find the search bar on the page WebElement searchBar = driver.findElement(By.name(“q”)); // enter “edureka” into the search bar searchBar.sendKeys(“edureka”); // click the search button searchBar.click(); } }
In the code snippet, we first create a new instance of the Firefox driver. We then use the navigate() method to navigate to the Google home page. We then use the findElement() method to find the search bar on the page. We then enter “edureka” into the search bar and click the search button.
