Nowadays websites are becoming more robust with manifold features. Also, with the majority of the company making a mobile-friendly website, testers have to keep in mind that a website should work appropriately not only in desktop but also in Android as well as iOS.
Selenium Remote Control, gradually lagged behind since it did not have the feature for testing browser compatibility of a website across multiple devices. To overcome all these issues, Selenium Webdriver came into limelight.
Selenium Webdriver supports several features that were not supported by the primitive versions of Selenium. Furthermore, it has the capability to test dynamic websites, i.e. websites where the content in a page changes dynamically on click of a button or other useful functionalities. It works by mimicking a real user who is interacting with a webpage. Plus, the API(Application Programming Interface) of Webdriver is user-friendly which can be understood effortlessly. It can also be used with other testing frameworks like JUnit to ease automated testing with Selenium.
Benefits of automation testing in Selenium:
- It guarantees a higher ROI on the initially huge investments done.
- Selenium Automation helps you find bugs at an early stage. You can test 24*7 from a remotely held device as well.
- There is a less manual intervention, so the possibility of flaws diminishes.
- It makes the test scripts reusable – need new scripts every time even with changes in the version of the OS on the device and the tests can recur without any errors.
- Automated tests make the process more reliable and the tests more dependable.
- Most importantly, it enables testing in volumes. For example, it allows you to run tests on thousands of mobile devices. Now, this is impossible with Manual Testing.
Well, that was all the benefits of automation testing with Selenium WebDriver that I could explain. If you have some more queries then drop them in the comment section below.
