Selenium Insights

What is Selenium?

Selenium is a powerful open-source framework for automating web browsers. It is primarily used for testing web applications, allowing developers to write scripts that simulate user actions like clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating pages. Selenium supports multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and programming languages (Java, Python, C#, etc.), making it a versatile tool for automating web-based tasks and ensuring web application quality.
