Testing is an integral part of software development, and we have long been relied on manual testing by testers and QA professional to ship quality software and find bugs, but that’s not sustainable anymore.

There is an increased focus on automation testing nowadays, and Selenium is leading the way with its web drivers.

If you don’t know what selenium is, it’s a free automation testing tool for web applications. It can work with different web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and simulate human-like behavior. By using Selenium, you can programmatically interact with all the different elements on a webpage. You can click on them, input text, extract text, and so much more.

Selenium is also completely different from other QA automation tools like QTP, Win Runner, Load Runner, etc., which allows you to record and replay for automation testing.

Selenium provides an API that allows you to automate everything on a web page. You can check whether an element exists or not or what value an element has. Selenium allows you to test any kind of website written in any language like PHP, Perl, Python, Java, C#, etc.

It also supports multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera, which means you can not only test your application in various browsers automatically.

Selenium allows you to write automated tests on any language as well, like Java, C#, Perl, Python, etc. but 90% of companies use Selenium with Java, which means manual testers who are willing to learn Selenium for automation testing should also learn Java.

Though you only need to know core Java basics, you don’t need to be a Java expert to write selenium tests. Though, if you think that your Java skill is not par, you can also check The Complete Java Masterclass course on Udemy. It’s a great course, but it’s not free, but it’s not very expensive either. I have bought just $10 last year, which is the cost of one lunch nowadays.
