Advantages of Selenium

Selenium is at present the most powerful freeware of open source automation tool. It is developed by Jason Huggins and his team. This is release under the Apache 2.0 license and can be downloaded and used without any charge. Selenium made it easier for testersto evaluate the web application without putting any extra time and effort.

·       Selenium is open source, freeware and portable tool.

·       Selenium supports wide range of languages-Some test automation tools require testing professionals to write the test scripts using a specific programming language. So testers need to learn the programming language to write test scripts. But Selenium allows users to write test scripts using any programming language. Thus, the testers can write test scripts while availing the benefits of their knowledge and technical expertise.

·       Selenium supports all operating systems like Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Unix etc.

·       Selenium supports all browsers-Selenium allows testers to write the test script once, and run it on multiple browsers to test the web application. The feature allows developers to test complex web application without increasing the test cycles. Further, they can easily check how the application works across different browser versions.

·       Selenium can be integrated with ANT or Maven kind of framework for source code compilation.

·       Seleniumcan be integrated with TestNG testing framework for testing our applications and generating reports.

·       Selenium can be integrated with Jenkins or Hudson for continuous integration.

·       Selenium can be integrated with other open source tools for supporting other features.

·       Selenium supports very less CPU and RAM consumption for script execution.
