> Selenium supports diverse programming languages to write programs (Test Scripts).
Java
C#
Python
Perl
Ruby
PHP
-------------------------------------------------------
2) History of the Selenium Project
> Selenium get-go came to life inwards 2004.
> In 2006, Selenium WebDriver was launched at Google.
> In 2008, the whole Selenium squad decided to merge Selenium WebDriver amongst selenium RC
in gild to cast to a greater extent than powerful tool called Selenium 2.0
Selenium 1.0
(Selenium IDE + Selenium RC + Selenium Grid)
Selenium 2.0
(Selenium IDE + Selenium RC + Selenium WebDriver + Selenium Grid)
Selenium 3.0 Coming
-------------------------------------------------------
3) Selenium’s Tool suite / Selenium Components

Selenium IDE features:
> Create Test Cases, Test Suites
(Record or Type Test Steps)
> Edit Cases
> Execute Test Cases, Test suites
> Debug Test Cases
> Enhance Test Cases
> Export Test Cases to other formats (java, ruby etc...)
Note: Selenium IDE Test Case default format is .html
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drawbacks of Selenium IDE
> It industrial plant on Mozilla Firefox Browser only.
> It doesn't back upwardly programming logic/features to elevate Test Cases
> It doesn't back upwardly Data Driven Testing
> It is non suitable for complex Test illustration design
> No centralized maintenance of Elements / objects
------------------------------------

Drawbacks of Selenium WebDriver
> No built-in Result Reporting facility
> Selenium WebDriver has no IDE, takes to a greater extent than fourth dimension to practice Test Cases.
> It doesn't direct maintain an integrated spread canvas for Data driven testing
-----------------------------------
iv) Selenium Grid
> Selenium Grid Executes Test cases across multiple browsers, operating environments
and machines inwards Parallel
> Selenium Grid 2.0 supports Selenium RC Test Cases together with Selenium WebDriver Test Cases.
-----------------------------------
You Focus on:
Test Automation using Selenium
i) Selenium WebDriver
(To practice together with execute Test Cases using Element Locators together with WebDriver API Commands)
ii) Java programming
(To elevate Test cases)
iii) TestNG Testing Framework
(To grouping Test cases, execute Test batches together with generate Test Reports.
-------------------------------------------------------
4) Platforms Supported yesteryear Selenium

> Anybody tin alter the rootage code together with distribute the rootage code.
** Selling modified code is non allowed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
6) Testing Frameworks together with other Tools used inwards Selenium
Testing Frameworks
Java Platform
i) JUnit
ii) TestNG - To grouping Test cases, Execute Test Batches, together with Generate Reports
.NET
NUnit
----------------------------------------
Eclipse IDE - To write together with execute Java Programs
Firebug together with Firpath plug ins for Mozilla Firefox browser to inspect elements
(Page Inspector built-in characteristic also at that spot inwards Firefox browser)
For Google Chrome, IE browsers, built-in developer tools available
-------------------------------
Identifying Elements together with performing operations on Elements
-----------------------------------------------------------
Browser Drivers
Mozilla Firefox is default browser
For Chrome, IE etc... browsers, involve to download browser drivers together with ready path.
-------------------------------------------------------
7) Advantages of Selenium
i) Selenium is an Open Source Software Tools Suite
